A Prospective Study

Otitis media has been previously shown to be a source of sepsis in the pediatric intensive care unit; however, pneumatic otoscopy and other otologic instruments are not commonly used in the pediatric intensive care unit. We undertook a prospective study to determine the prevalence of otitis media, to assess the risk factors involved with the development of these nosocomial infections, and to identify the causative organisms. We conclude that otitis media is a common entity in the pediatric intensive care unit, that it is probably caused by prolonged dysfunction of the eustachian tube associated with oral and nasally-placed tubes and that the bacteriology reflects that of the hospital environment and not that of the community.

A Prospective Study

There is a growing concern about the multi-resistant capabilities presented by microorganisms to antimicrobials. Society is harmed by the redirection of financial resources from other areas, also lacking the population, to purchase more potent antimicrobials and in larger quantities. This study describes the consumption of antimicrobial drugs and their impact generated through a systematic review, following the recommendations of the Prisma method. Searches were performed in four databases (Portal BVS, PubMed, Embase and Science Direct). A total of 196 articles were found, 11 of which were selected after applying the eligibility criteria. A prospective study showed that the difference in expenditures can reach $31.17 patients/day between prophylactics and those with nosocomial infections. Studies have shown that the increase in costs is related to the increase in the length of stay. Mortality and admission to the ICU also increased. Further studies with high levels of evidence are recommended.
