The institution of protocol-directed care in the intensive care unit (ICU) may be detrimental in that it potentially distances physicians from direct patient care and may disallow trainees from thinking beyond an algorithm.
The study showed that the institution of protocols can minimize the weaning length and the MV length in ICUs.
The impact of the institution of the protocol was assessed in two 3-month blocks.
Here, too, despite the institution of a standardized protocol for developmental neurotoxicity, few compounds have actually been tested relative to the total number of concern, even after mandated call-ins for data by the U.S. EPA (Makris 2006; U.S. EPA 2006).
Of the patients cooled, survival with good neurological outcome was achieved in 52% in Group 1 and 88% in Group 2. The institution of a temperature management protocol improved compliance with recommended goals, both in achieving hypothermia and in the avoidance of hyperthermia.
- IRB Director There was marked variation in the class of protocol that institutions were likely to require to establish a data repository for caTIES, ranging from no HSR waiver to expedited review (Table 24).
The scientific review board of our institution granted protocol approval.
This may be relevant for the institution of closer follow-up protocols and/or alternative combined therapeutic regimens.
This study was performed in the Laboratory of Carnivore Reproduction at the School of Veterinary Medicine, State University of Ceará and approved by the Animal Ethics Committee of the institution (protocol No. 12641034 8).
Although the CT were performed on different machines in the two institutions, the protocol of vascular opacification and the timing of images acquisition remained the same, and this should not constitute a significant bias in our study.
Chest radiographs are required in many institutions by protocol after the insertion of a right internal jugular vein triple-lumen catheter (TLC), even if the anterior approach is used.
