Aim Of The Study: An ERAS protocol provides the latest perioperative care principles, whose primary aim is to reduce complication rates, and therefore mortality. The aim of this study is to establish the progress of the ERAS pathway implementation in our gynaecology department.
Material And Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of two sets of 100 consecutive medical records: patients treated before (PRE-ERAS) and after (ERAS) introduction of the ERAS protocol.
The aim of this study was to assess the clinical usefulness of blood procalcitonin (PCT) levels for the diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring of early-onset neonatal sepsis (EONS). PCT as well as C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and white blood cell (WBC) count were measured in venous blood from 57 infected and 72 uninfected neonates. Differences between groups for PCT, CRP, and WBC levels were significant.

Material/methods: The enrolment criterion was sepsis clinically manifesting after three days of life. PCT concentrations were measured in venous blood from 52 infected and 88 uninfected neonates.
Aim: The aim of the study was to check the influence of patient control epidural analgesia on labor progress and neonatal outcome.
Material And Methods: 144 parturients were included into the clinical trial. In 73 cases patient control epidural analgesia was used and in 71 cases pethidine (meperidine) solution was given intravenously.
