摘要

Background

Jellyfish stings are a common reason for treatment by water rescue workers along German coastal waters. Guidelines for treating these injuries do not exist. Nevertheless, shaving foam is often used for local treatment.

Aim

This study is an update of a study published in 2016. Here, we systematically analyzed the evidence published since then.

Materials and methods

A systematic literature search was conducted. Treatment options were divided into levels of evidence according to a modified version of the classification of the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine and treatment recommendations were derived from this.

Results

A causal therapy is—apart from removing remains of the jellyfish—not yet available. The local application of vinegar is unsuitable for jellyfish occurring in German waters. There is no evidence for the topical application of shaving foam.

Conclusion

The findings of this study do not support making any recommendations with a high level of evidence. The recommendations from 2016 were largely confirmed.
