摘要:

Seventy‐five patients, who, between January and December 1979, were resuscitated after an out‐of‐hospital episode of ventricular fibrillation, were followed up for a mean period of 30 months after their initial admissions to hospital. There was a high occurrence rate (26%) of unexpected “sudden” death at the end of the three‐year follow‐up period. Intracardiac electrophysiological studies, or stress electrocardiographic and Holter electrocardiographic monitoring to determine the effectiveness of antiarrhythmic prophylaxis, were carried out in only nine patients. Only eight of the 63 patients (13%) who left hospital had acquaintances who were trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The findings suggest the need for some determination of the efficacy of antiarrhythmic prophylaxis in these patients, and for the education of the friends and relatives of such patients in cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

摘要:

An examination of data from the Queensland Hospital Morbidity Collection indicated that the incidence of ectopic pregnancy as a proportion of total births appeared to have doubled between 1971 and 1980. Similar trends were evident in two other Australasian regions. A review of possible biases suggested that the true rate of increase was unlikely to be much lower than that observed. In Queensland, venereal disease notifications in women and admissions to hospital for inflammatory diseases of the female reproductive organs have shown an analogous rise.

摘要:

A brief review of the definition, prevalence, predisposing factors, clinical features and possible causes of occupational asthma is presented, together with an overview of the appropriate steps in the management of this condition. In terms of the prognosis, the need for effective prevention and early detection of sufferers is emphasized.

摘要:

Recent advances in medical experimentation have evoked wide‐ranging responses from the medical profession and the wider community. This article argues against the medical profession assessing experimentation issues by reference to a narrow utilitarian model and promotes, by way of a behavioural science perspective, an emphasis on process issues.

摘要:

On September 6, 1984, industrial bans were placed on the movement of linen within The Royal Melbourne Hospital. Initially, linen was stored in ward areas and, later, on hospital balconies. The dispute was not settled for 14 days; by this time, 25 beds and the Emergency Department had been closed. Stockpiled “soiled” and “infectious” linen bags posed a major safety risk. Once the bans were lifted, linen was removed and laundered under supervision, according to a carefully planned programme, in order to minimize the exposure of patients and staff members to potential cross‐infection. Recommendations are made to cover infection controj aspects associated with industrial disputes of this nature.
