    Notes: Reports and guidelines concerning intensive care practice have been issued recently. However, the introduction of such centrally issued recommendations may be difficult because of marked heterogeneity between intensive care units. This study examined the facilities (number of beds, consultant sessions, nursing establishment), annual workload (number and types of patients admitted) and outcome (intensive care unit mortality) in the (old) Anglia Region. There were significant differences in the distribution of patients' ages, severities of illness, diagnoses, durations of admission and outcomes. Such heterogeneity may make multicentre trials more difficult to conduct and create problems when uniform measures designed to improve intensive care services are being planned.

    Notes: When compared with changes in hospital activity, corresponding fluctuations in critical-care activity are not clear. Therefore, trends in hospital activity were compared with those of the critical-care services and simple patient demographic details. The results suggest that while the size of hospitals remained static, hospital admissions and outpatient attendances increased by 5% each year. During the same period, the number of critical-care beds increased by 21.4%. Despite this increase in capacity, the activity of the critical-care services continued to increase by a similar 5% per annum, indicating a huge surge in critical-care workload. The results indicate that the increase in the rate of activity in hospitals and critical-care services is similar but the workload of the critical-care services is increasing much faster. This suggests that the demand for critical care may be generated from within hospitals.

    Notes: Intensive care physicians perceive that there is seasonal variation in the number of admissions to critical care services. There is, however, little published evidence to support this belief. Data were therefore collected from five adjacent critical care units in the eastern region over a period of 8 years, in order to quantify any seasonal variation that may exist. Data on 16 355 critically ill patients were obtained between 1992 and 2000. Analysis showed clear winter peaks; December had a 30% higher admission rate than the quietest month, February. There was a small, but increasing, summer peak. The admission rate also exhibits an increasing linear trend, equivalent to a 6.6% annual increase in admissions per critical care bed. We conclude that there is significant seasonal variation in critical care activity, and that this is important to consider when planning services.

    Notes: We present the case of a 68-year-old woman who had a large cervicomediastinal haematoma that caused life-threatening airway obstruction. Retropharyngeal haematoma may occur in any age group and following a variety of causes. Retropharyngeal haematomas must be considered as a cause of airway obstruction following common injuries such as blunt cervical trauma or internal jugular vein cannulation. A high index of suspicion and early lateral neck X-ray is essential for safe management of this rare but potentially life-threatening injury.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung In einer prospektiven, randomisierten Studie verglichen wir bei 40 herzchirurgischen Patienten Cefamandol und Ceftriaxon als Infektionsprophylaxe. Bei weiteren 12 Patienten wurden Plasma- und perikardiale Flüssigkeitsspiegel von Cefamandol in verschiedenen Zeitabständen nach dessen Verabreichung bestimmt. Eine postoperative Wundinfektion wurde bei einem, respektive zwei Patienten in jeder Gruppe (Cefamandol-Ceftriaxon) beobachtet, und eine bronchiale Superinfektion bei je einem Patienten. Die Plasma- und perikardialen Flüssigkeitsspiegel für Ceftriaxon waren weit über der minimalen inhibitorischen Konzentration für alle auf Ceftriaxon ansprechende Erreger, selbst 24 h nach intravenöser Verabreichung. Wir ziehen die Schlußfolgerung, daß erstens die Infektionsrate nach herzchirurgischen Eingriffen sowohl mit Cefamandolals auch mit Ceftriaxon-Prophylaxe sehr gering ist und zweitens auch 24 h nach Ceftriaxon-Verabreichung noch bakterizide Konzentrationen im Plasma und in der perikardialen Flüssigkeit vorliegen.
    Notes: Summary We compared the prophylactic use of cefamandole and ceftriaxone in 40 patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery. Postoperative wound infection occurred in one and two patients, respectively, in each group (n. s.), and bronchial superinfection in one patient in each group. In 12 additional patients drug concentrations in plasma and pericardial fluid were measured at different times following the administration of ceftriaxone. Plasma and pericardial fluid concentrations of ceftriaxone were above the minimal inhibitory concentration of susceptible microorganisms for up to 24 h after intravenous administration. We conclude, firstly, that the incidence of infection after cardiac surgery is low with both cefamandole and ceftriaxone prophylaxis. Secondly, efficient plasma and pericardial fluid levels of ceftriaxone last for up to 24 h after intravenous administration.
