Objective: We investigated a rapid detection method for carbapenemase-producing gram-negative bacilli (CP-GNR) using meropenem (MEPM) to assess the efficiency of the antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
Methods: We used the function that can monitor the growth curve with the resistant bacteria monitoring function (RAISUS S4). Rapid detection of CP-GNR was performed using RAISUS S4 in two types of antimicrobial susceptibility testing, the RAISUS 18-hour method (18-h method) and RAISUS rapid method (rapid method) for Enterobacterales (F-GNR) and non-fermenting gram-negative bacilli (NF-GNR).
Article Synopsis
- Tracheal intubation is commonly performed on critically ill patients, and this meta-analysis explored whether ketamine, due to its favorable cardiovascular effects, reduces mortality during this procedure compared to other agents.
- The research evaluated data from various studies, focusing on mortality rates and other health metrics, finding that ketamine had an 83.2% probability of reducing mortality compared to etomidate, though the difference wasn’t statistically significant.
- Overall, while ketamine is likely safe with comparable outcomes to etomidate based on the data, the absence of significant improvements in secondary outcomes suggests no clear advantage in clinical use beyond standard practice.
. To evaluate efficacy and safety of a trabecular micro-bypass stent system when used as the sole procedure in Japanese patients with medically uncontrolled primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). .
