Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs (ASPs) have been promoted to optimize antimicrobial usage and patient outcomes, reduce the emergence of antimicrobial-resistant organisms. However, best strategies for an ASP are not definitively established likely vary based on local culture, policy, routine clinical practice, probably limited resources in middle-income countries. The aim this study is evaluate structures stewardship teams (ASTs) surgical departments from different regions world.A...
Invasive fungal infections remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among liver transplant recipients (LTRs). In this patient population, invasive Candida (ICIs) account for the large majority cases. To date, only small studies case-series analysing clinical presentation risk factors in LTRs with ICIs are available.We performed retrospective multicenter multinational study 10 centers Europe Brazil. All consecutive developing during period January 2011 to December 2013 were included...
We aimed to compare intensive care unit mortality due non-pneumococcal severe community-acquired pneumonia between the periods 2000-2002 and 2008-2014, impact of improvement in antibiotic strategies on outcomes.This was a matched case-control study enrolling 144 patients with pneumonia: 72 from database (CAPUCI I group) were paired 2008-2014 period II group), by following variables: microorganism, shock at admission, invasive mechanical ventilation, immunocompromise, chronic obstructive...
Abstract Background Pneumonia remains a significant global health concern, particularly among those requiring admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). Despite availability of international guidelines, there heterogeneity in clinical management. The D-PRISM study aimed develop overview how pneumonias (i.e., community-acquired (CAP), hospital-acquired (HAP), and Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP)) are diagnosed treated ICU compare differences practice worldwide. Methods was...
Refractory hypoxaemia is the leading cause of mortality in postoperative period after lung transplantation. The role prone positioning as a rescue therapy this setting has not been assessed. We evaluated its effects transplant recipients presenting refractory following surgery.Prospectively collected data from 131 consecutive adult patients undergoing transplantation between January 2013 and December 2014 were evaluated. Twenty-two received position therapy. Indications, associated...
<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention proposed a shift in its surveillance paradigm from ventilator-associated pneumonia to events (VAE) broaden the focus of prevention achieve greater impact on outcomes. main objective present study was identify factors associated with pediatric VAEs children undergoing mechanical ventilation ≥ 48 h. <h3>METHODS:</h3> This secondary analysis cohort multicenter prospective study. Children who underwent h were included....
To assess the adherence to Infectious Disease Society of America/American Thoracic guidelines and causes lack during empirical antibiotic prescription in severe pneumonia Latin America.A clinical questionnaire was submitted 36 physicians from America; they were asked indicate treatment two fictitious cases respiratory infection: community-acquired nosocomial pneumonia.In case community acquired pneumonia, 11 prescriptions (30.6%) compliant with international guidelines. The for non-compliant...
Abstract The increasing gap between availability of solid organs for transplantation and the demand has led to inclusion donor that, according current guidelines, may be discarded, some them because possibility transmission infection recipients. We present first report, best our knowledge, a case brain‐dead with localized treated Actinomyces israelii central nervous system who, after thorough evaluation, provided successful transplant procedures in four There was no evidence within 6‐month...
