The aim our study was to evaluate whether microorganisms cultured from semiquantitative tracheal aspirates (SQTA) 48 hours prior clinical suspicion ventilator-associated (VAP) were etiology, compared with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) results performed same day that...
The ICU is a stressful place with several sources of conflicts. Among workers, conflicts lead to burnout, loss psychological well-being, and deterioration the work performance. Intra-team (conflicts that occur among members intensive care team) are one most frequent types in ICU. objectives this study were determine prevalence, risk factors consequences associated intra-team
ICU patients (ptes) account for a large proportion of HI. Its epidemiology allow us to identify key issues and prioritize interventions. We determined the incidence HI in Uruguay described specific locations, dispositive-associated rates microorganisms.
Introducción: los pacientes críticos son muy vulnerables a la iatrogenia.Los eventos vinculados seguridad (EVS) contribuyen en morbilidad y mortalidad de ingresados.Por esto, su detección prevención importantes.Objetivos: estudiar incidencia EVS seleccionados una unidad cuidados intensivos (UCI) el daño que generan.Sentar las bases para un sistema notificación EVS.Metodología: estudio prospectivo mediante dos metodologías: reporte voluntario auditoría historias clínicas
Intensive Care Unit (ICUs) patients account for a large proportion of hospital infections (HI) and Central Line Associated Bloodstream Infections (CLAB) are one the most common. We determined incidence CLAB in adult (A) neonatal (N) intensive care units evaluated national response to bundle interventions.
Introduction There is considerable uncertainty about the reproducibility of various instruments used to measure dyspnea, their ability reflect changes in symptoms, whether they accurately patient's experience and if its evolution similar between acute heart failure syndrome patients nonacute patients.URGENT was a prospective multicenter trial designed address these issues.Methods Patients were interviewed within 1 hour first physician evaluation, emergency department or care setting, with...
