25. Acceptability and cost savings of selective sputum microbiology in a community teaching hospital.
Our experience in introducing selective sputum microbiology into a clinical laboratory was recorded prospectively and analyzed. Based on low-power microscopy with determination of ratios of polymorphonuclear to squamous cells, 32% of specimens were discarded as unfit for culture. Speedy processing and prompt telephone calls afforded opportunities to replace

26. Clinical review: Reappraising the concept of immediate defibrillatory attempts for out-of-hospital ventricular fibrillation
Despite well developed emergency medical services with rapid response advanced life support capabilities, survival rates following out-of-hospital ventricular fibrillation (VF) have remained bleak in many venues. Generally, these poor resuscitation rates are attributed to delays in the performance of basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation by bystanders or delay

27. Usefulness of rpoB Gene Sequencing for Identification of Afipia and Bosea Species, Including a Strategy for Choosing Discriminative Partial Sequences
Bacteria belonging to the genera Afipia and Bosea are amoeba-resisting bacteria that have been recently reported to colonize hospital water supplies and are suspected of being responsible for intensive care unit-acquired pneumonia. Identification of these bacteria is now based on determination of the 16S ribosomal DNA sequence. However, the 16S rRNA gene is

28. Trauma service cost: the real story.
OBJECTIVE: The objective was to define and characterize the costs associated with trauma care at a level I trauma center. Once the costs were identified, attending physician-led teams were designed to reduce costs within each cost center. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: The location and magnitude of the costs on a trauma service remain largely unknown. Focused cost
