To estimate the diagnostic yield of routine EEG in a 15-bed adult general ICU.
As ischemic stroke is much less common than venous thromboembolism [74] the yield of routine screening would be even lower for ischemic stroke.
The aim of this study is to review airway findings in children with tracheostomies who underwent surveillance direct laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy (DLB) to determine the yield of routine airway evaluation in these patients.
Based on good and consistent evidence, the overall yield of routine cytogenetic testing is 3.7%.
In this study, we aimed to determine the diagnostic yield of routine sputum, gastric aspirates, blood and urine cultures among pediatric TB suspects at a rural hospital in South Africa and inform clinical practice.
In contrast, the yield of routine technical examinations in stage I/II patients have previously been reported to be much lower between 4 11%, with studies mostly reporting the use of chest X-ray and sonography of the abdomen, but none using sonography of the lymph nodes (Kersey et al, 1985; Goerz et al, 1986; Bassères et al, 1995; Weiss et al, 1995; Bastien et al, 1997; Mooney et al, 1998).
Because of the unacceptable losses in cell yields, for routine experiments we did not eliminate debris using either of these methods.
Recent literature would suggest that after a routine, uncomplicated tracheotomy, chest radiography is a low-yield procedure that incurs unnecessary expense.
The targets tripled the routine production yield of the previous target, giving up to 90 GBq (2.5 Ci) of fluoride and essentially eliminated the need for periodic target maintenance.
Yield of 20 routine preparations (empty diamonds).
