A survey of infection in an intensive care unit. "Forewarned is forearmed".
The infection (36%) and mortality rates (28%) were investigated in 433 patients admitted to a Respiratory Intensive Care Unit. It was found that the mortality rate was higher (45%) in the infected group than in the non-infected group (19%) and particularly so in patients who had had intra-abdominal surgery or who remained in the unit for longer than a week.

Tourniquets for surgery: safety aspects.
There are a variety of different types of pneumatic tourniquets in constant use within the UK Health Service. These range from simple manually operated units to more complex gas-powered devices. Fatalities have occurred following the failure of pneumatic tourniquets during surgery when the local anaesthetic agent administered to the patient entered the circulation. Investigation has revealed that certain tourniquet systems have design defects, for example deterioration of rubber tubing, inadequate securing of pressure tubing, excessive wear in a pressure regulator. With any tourniquet system, routine maintenance coupled with regular user checks are essential to ensure reliability.
