Background: While early appropriate antibiotic therapy is a proven means of limiting the progression of infections, especially bacteremia, empirical antibiotic therapy in sepsis is ineffective up to 30%. The aim of this study was to compare early blood culture testing protocols in terms of their ability to shorten the delay between blood sampling and appropriate antibiotic therapy.
Methods: In this french observational study, we compared three blood culture testing protocols.
Objectives: COVID-19 vaccines have become the new hope for stemming the pandemic. We aimed to assess pre-launch vaccine acceptance among hospital workers in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Administrative Region of France.
Methods: We performed a cross sectional study involving all hospital workers in 11 Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes hospitals in December 2020.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated COVID-19 seroprevalence among hospital staff in Lyon, France, revealing a 9% overall rate, with higher rates in healthcare staff, especially those working directly with COVID-19 patients.
- Risk factors for higher seroprevalence included contact with confirmed COVID-19 cases at home and work; however, the ICU staff showed lower seropositivity rates.
- The findings suggest that while healthcare workers are at risk, ICU staff may have better protective measures or lower exposure in comparison to those in COVID-19 units or emergency departments.
