TL;DR: Evidence is provided that ICU-acquired sepsis occurs frequently in Italian ICU patients and is associated with a high case fatality rate and increased length of stay, however, in order to explain these findings further analyses are needed.
Lack of influence of body exhaust gowns on aerobic bacterial surface counts in a mixed-ventilation operating theatre. A study of 62 hip arthroplasties.
TL;DR: The low number of colony forming units found in the operating area was similar to that expected from an ultraclean laminar airflow unit, although achieved with a cheaper and more energy saving system.
