Specific board policies improve effectiveness.

Lay hospital boards face increasing expectations from the health care system, yet typically lack the means with which to meet these expectations effectively. The article discusses this difficulty by first describing the role of boards, their statutory obligations, and their responsibilities as identified in the 1991 Canadian Council on Health Facilities Accreditation standards. The article then describes how the board of the Matsqui-Sumas-Abbotsford General Hospital has developed specific policies to address these responsibilities and expectations.

[Phenobarbital poisoning in a eutrophic term newborn infant. A case report].

An iatrogenic intoxication with 300 mg phenobarbital (Lepinal) in a newborn is reported. Description is given about clinical course, blood levels of phenobarbital (maximum 507 mumols/l) and the therapy. The most important therapeutic interventions like alkalinization of urine, haemoperfusion or blood exchange are directed towards increase of elimination of phenobarbital. The phenobarbital blood level decreased from 349 mumols/l before to 242 mumols/l after the blood exchange transfusion in our case. The transfer to a pediatric intensive care unit should be made as early as possible because of the risk of respiratory failure.

[Comparative biochemical parameters in deceased and living patients in a follow-up intervention study of cardiovascular patients].

After the laboratory-diagnostical spectrum had been analysed by means of a representative check of probationer with a state suspected of heart and vessel diseases on the screen of the X-ray mass examination in longitudinal section and cross-section with derived conclusions the results had been checked by means of comparison with the dead and not dead of this population in the follow up. The parameter sedimentation rate of erythrocyte, blood sugar, the enzymes "ASAT" and "ALAT" and total cholesterol with stronger pronounced proneness could substantiate the causal connection to this population of persons suffering from a heart disease as well. Hence followed derived relations to the severe degree of heart and vessel disease and beside this to the prognostical estimation of the disease for the parameter uric acid, hemoglobin/hematocrit and creatinine in the serum. The number of leucocytes, the serum protein, the separation of fractions of serum protein and lability test of serum by electrophoresis did not result in any findings, which allowed any connection with heart and vessel diseases, also concerning the persons who died in the course of the study, so that the demand for a differentiated, well-aimed differential-diagnostical use of these expensive research methods also for this extreme situation is substantiated once more. The results are discussed in comparison as well as in connection with the results found out of the total check and in dependence of age and sexes.

[Treatment results with Cerutil in age-related cerebral insufficiency in general medicine].

There is a report given about the effect of Cerutil (Centrophenoxin) at an enteral dosage of 1250 mg/day over a time of eight weeks, applied with 31 patients with references for a cerebral insufficiency conditional on involution. The results concerning the possibility of influencing clinical symptoms, the descriptions of complaints by the patients and the testing methods applied allow the conclusion, that Cerutil can be regarded as a proved remedy, especially at the out-patient treatment of older people with cerebral insufficiency. More serious secondary effects or states of excitement were not watched at the dosage mentioned.
