Real-time, portable genome sequencing for Ebola surveillance

Joshua Quick, +106 more
- 11 Feb 2016 - 
TL;DR: This paper presents sequence data and analysis of 142 EBOV samples collected during the period March to October 2015 and shows that real-time genomic surveillance is possible in resource-limited settings and can be established rapidly to monitor outbreaks.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Protocol of No Sedation for Critically Ill Patients Receiving Mechanical Ventilation: A Randomised Trial:

TL;DR: Mechanical ventilation without sedation reduces duration of ventilation and the likelihood of adverse events is higher in patients treated with mechanical ventilation than without.
Journal ArticleDOI

Use of an ultraviolet tracer in simulation training for the clinical management of Ebola virus disease.

TL;DR: The training used ultraviolet tracer to provide validation of the skills required when treating patients with Ebola and to confirm subsequent decontamination, providing useful feedback to clinicians on their infection control measures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of ethnicity on the accuracy of measurements of oxygen saturations: A retrospective observational cohort study

TL;DR: In this paper , a large retrospective observational cohort study covering four NHS Hospitals serving a large urban population in Birmingham, United Kingdom, consecutive pairs of SpO2 and SaO2 measurements taken on the same patient within an interval of less than 20 min were identified from electronic patient records.
Journal ArticleDOI

Images in clinical medicine. Blast lung.

TL;DR: An 8-year-old boy injured when an improvised explosive device (IED) detonated very close to him was intubated en route to the hospital owing to airway obstruction and cardiovascular instability and was discharged home for palliative care after intestinal failure that was due to multiple small-bowel anastomotic breakdowns attributed to polytrauma and preexisting malnutrition.
