Despite advances in surgical technique and peri-operative care, mortality from ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm presenting to a hospital remains around 50%. This is in contrast to the mortality rate of < 5% for elective repair. In a two and a half year period,the principal surgeon operated on 10 patients with ruptured AAA, with a peri-operative and overall mortality of 30%. One of the ten patients had a ruptured mycotic aneurysm. We present our experience with these patients and also correlate this with recent publications. 相似文献

A "No not resuscitate" policy was instituted at McMaster University Medical Centre, Hamilton, in January 1979. Its objectives were to ensure that physicians decide on the appropriateness of resuscitation attempts before they might be needed; to have each physician consult his or her patients, or the families of incompetent patients, to determine their wishes concerning further treatment; and to provide legal protection of or physicians and the hospital in regard to the policy. To determine the effectiveness of the "Do not resuscitate" policy a questionnaire was sent to a sample of the professional staff of the hospital; the overall response rate was 87%. The respondents felt that a better way of informing hospital staff of the policy and its objectives was needed. However, the results of the questionnaire suggested that, on the whole, the policy was perceived as beneficial to both patients and physicians at the hospital. 相似文献

Prehospital critical care provided by specially trained ambulance attendants in New Westminster, BC during a 27-month period was studied. Although the most important benefit of the improved care was the prevention of sudden death in a large proportion of persons with crises due to coronary artery disease, the skills learned to provide basic life support are applicable to a wide variety of other disorders that can result in death before the patient reaches hospital. 相似文献

MONITORING OF RESEARCH BY RESEARCH ETHICS BOARDS HAS BEEN RECOMMENDED by various organizations that fund clinical studies and by other groups. However, little evidence has been reported on the processes, costs and outcomes of these activities, information that would be helpful to guide the boards in their current work and future policies. We report here 3 years of monitoring experience by the research ethics board of a 313-bed university-affiliated community hospital. Activities newly implemented at the beginning of the study period included the use of recruitment logs, audits of completed consent forms and interviews with research subjects. Over the study period, we monitored 33 protocols, through 188 consent form audits and interviews with 17 research subjects. In addition, 26 of 34 research investigators and collaborators responded to a survey about the monitoring. In general, the investigators were supportive of monitoring activities, but most were not willing to contribute financially. The types of monitoring we conducted are feasible and may be suitable (or could be adapted) for use in other institutions. 相似文献

In Canada between 1958 and 1977 the neonatal mortality dropped by more than 50%. the decline was most prominent from 1963 and was almost entirely due to an improvement in neonatal birthweight-specific mortality, which suggests an improvement in perinatal medical care. The timing and pattern of the decline are similar to those reported for the United States. There was a transient increase in the incidence of low and very low birthweight in both countries in the late 1960s. The cause of this increase remains unexplained. 相似文献
