متن کاملRESPIRATORY INFECTION Reducing door-to-antibiotic time in community-acquired pneumonia: controlled before-and-after evaluation and cost- effectiveness analysis
Background: Practice guidelines suggest that all patients hospitalised with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) should receive antibiotics within 4 h of admission. An audit at our hospital during 1999–2000 showed that this target was achieved in less than two thirds of patients with severe CAP. Methods: An experienced multidisciplinary steering group designed a management pathway to improve the ...
