Multicenter StudyReduction of the severe sepsis or septic shock associated mortality by reinforcement of the recommendations bundle: a multicenter study.
We determined whether the implementation of a bundle of 10 recommendations leads to the reduction of mortality in ICU patients with severe sepsis or septic shock. ⋯ The implementation of a care bundle adapted from the Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines decreases the 28-day mortality rate in patients with severe sepsis and/or septic shock.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study[Continuous epidural block versus continuous psoas compartment block for postoperative analgesia after major hip or femoral surgery in children: a prospective comparative randomized study].
Intravenous opioids and/or continuous epidural block (CEB) are used for postoperative analgesia after hip and/or femoral shaft surgery but adverse effects limit their use in children. A continuous psoas compartment block (CPCB), effective technique in adults can be an alternative. In this randomized comparative study, we wanted to evaluate CEB and CPCB in children after major hip surgery in terms of adverse events, pain relief and ropivacaine plasma concentrations. ⋯ Continuous psoas compartment block is an effective technique of postoperative analgesia after major hip or femoral surgery in children. It equally manages postoperative pain with significantly less adverse event and decreased ropivacaine doses and plasma concentration than CEB.
