Article Synopsis
- After a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), the brain can react in confusing ways that might lead to lack of blood flow later on.
- A new device called the brain pulse monitor can help us check important brain health information like pressure and oxygen levels non-invasively (without surgery).
- In a patient with a serious SAH, the device showed changes in brain pressure and oxygen levels, suggesting it could help detect problems early and understand how the blood vessels behave after this kind of injury.
Objective: To evaluate national practice for antibiotic prophylaxis in cardiac surgery with respect to the use of protocols, agent selection and duration of administration.
Design, Setting And Participants: Two point-prevalence surveys of intensive care units in 24 public and 27 private hospitals performing cardiac surgery in Australia, conducted in 2004 and 2008, using a structured telephone questionnaire of the attending senior intensive care clinician in each unit.
Main Outcome Measures: Existence of a protocol in the unit for antibiotic prophylaxis, specific antibiotic agents used and their duration of administration.
