Objectives: Here, we report the management of a catastrophic COVID-19 Delta variant surge, which overloaded ICU capacity, using crisis standards of care (CSC) based on a multiapproach protocol.
Design: Retrospective observational study.
Setting: University Hospital of Guadeloupe.
Article Synopsis
- A study conducted between April 2018 and August 2019 collected 135 strains of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing bacteria from the University Hospital Center of Guadeloupe to analyze the diversity and structure of the bacterial population and identify the clinical relevance of certain strains.
- Among the 94 third cephalosporin-resistant strains, 57 were identified as ESBL producers, revealing limited genetic diversity with specific sequence types (STs) being predominant, particularly ST114, ST1503, ST53, and ST113.
- The research highlighted that Guadeloupe had a higher rate of nosocomial ESBL infections (1.59/1000 hospitalization days) compared to mainland France (
Objectives: We aimed to determine the impact of a dedicated medical team (DMT) on ambulatory care for patients requiring oxygen.
Methods: The DMT selected patients requiring oxygen for less than 5 l/min in the emergency department (ED). The rate of ED readmission was compared in patients managed by the DMT and those managed by the ED physicians (EDPs).
To increase the knowledge about S. capitis in the neonatal setting, we conducted a nationwide 3-month survey in 38 neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) covering 56.6% of French NICU beds.
