Prof. Dr. Tobias Krüger

Prof. Krüger erforscht die Schnittstellen zwischen Wasser, Klima und Gesellschaft mit Fokus auf sozial-ökologische Gerechtigkeit und Ungleichheit. Seine aktuelle Arbeit untersucht, wer von Wasserspeichern, Bewässerung und Wassersicherheitsmaßnahmen profitiert — etwa bei Staudämmen in Kolumbien oder Sand-Dämmen in Kenia — und nutzt dafür ethnographische und partizipative Methoden kombiniert mit hydrologischer Modellierung. Für Unternehmen und öffentliche Verwaltungen relevant: Planung von Wasser- und Energieinfrastruktur, die soziale Auswirkungen berücksichtigt; Governance von grenzüberschreitenden Wasserressourcen unter Klimawandel; Gestaltung von Transformationsprozessen in Flussregionen. Seine Arbeiten verbinden Naturwissenschaft, Sozialwissenschaft und lokales Wissen, um zu zeigen, wie technische Lösungen soziale Ungleichheit verstärken oder mindern können.

• CRP and leukocyte-count after lumbar spine surgery: fusion vs. nucleotomy

  2011

  Acta Orthopaedica · DOI

  BACKGROUND: Despite the fact that C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and white blood cell (WBC) count are routine blood chemistry parameters for the early assessment of wound infection after surgical procedures, little is known about the natural history of their serum values after major and minimally invasive spinal procedures. METHODS: Pre- and postoperative CRP serum levels and WBC count in 347 patients were retrospectively assessed after complication-free, single-level open posterior lumbar interlaminar fusion (PLIF) (n = 150) for disc degeneration and spinal stenosis and endoscopically assisted lumbar discectomy (n = 197) for herniated lumbar disc. Confounding variables such as overweight, ASA classification, arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and perioperative antibiotics were recorded to evaluate their influence on the kinetics of CRP values and WBC count postoperatively. RESULTS: In both procedures, CRP peaked 2-3 days after surgery. The maximum CRP level was significantly higher after fusion: mean 127 (SD 57) (p < 0.001). A rapid fall in CRP within 4-6 days was observed for both groups, with almost normal values being reached after 14 days. Only BMI > 25 and long duration of surgery were associated with higher peak CRP values. WBC count did not show a typical and therefore interpretable profile. CONCLUSION: CRP is a predictable and responsive serum parameter in postoperative monitoring of inflammatory responses in patients undergoing spine surgery, whereas WBC kinetics is unspecific. We suggest that CRP could be measured on the day before surgery, on day 2 or 3 after surgery, and also between days 4 and 6, to aid in early detection of infectious complications.
