Digestive bleeding prophylaxis (93%) and limiting the peak inspiratory pressure < 35 cmH2O (90%) were observed in almost all patients in the pre-checklist period and this intervention did not increase their utilization (94% vs 90%, respectively, P = 0.6).
The study encompassed data from 112 ICUs at 72 Michigan hospitals from October 2003 through September 2005 and then for up to 30 months after the checklist implementation period.
Those figures coincide with what Berenholtz calls a "dramatic and unprecedented reduction" in ventilator-associated pneumonia in Michigan, with rates falling up to 71percentt and more than half of ICUs reporting no infections within months after the checklist implementation period.
On comparison of tidal volumes at these times after the DEFAULT checklist introduction period, there was no increase in the proportion of ventilated patients with tidal volumes in the target range.
For instance, an evaluation of the uptake of the checklist after a period of time post-implementation may allow for identification of areas in need of further development.

During the 13-week implementation period, our checklist was not used in 39% of anaesthesias, despite the fact that this was a protocol violation [ 12].

For each area of reproductive health service delivery, we calculate a score according to the points gained out of the total number of points on the checklist during the observation period.
