Journal ArticleDOI
Cytokines, nitrite/nitrate, soluble tumor necrosis factor receptors, and procalcitonin concentrations : comparisons in patients with septic shock, cardiogenic shock, and bacterial pneumonia
de Werra I,Jaccard C,Corradin Sb,René Chioléro,Bertrand Yersin,Gallati H,Assicot M,Bohuon C,J. D. Baumgartner,Michel P. Glauser,D. Heumann +10 more
TL;DR: It was shown that increase of proinflammatory cytokines was a consequence of inflammation, not of shock, and measurements of NO2-/NO3- concentration and procalcitonin concentration represented the most suitable tests for defining patients with septic shock.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reliability and validity of the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) imbedded within a general health risk screening questionnaire: results of a survey in 332 primary care patients.
TL;DR: The AUDIT incorporated in a health risk screening questionnaire is a reliable and valid self-administered instrument to identify at-risk drinkers and alcohol-dependent individuals in primary care settings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Symptom-triggered vs fixed-schedule doses of benzodiazepine for alcohol withdrawal: a randomized treatment trial.
Jean-Bernard Daeppen,Pascal Gache,Ulrika Landry,Eva Sekera,Verena Schweizer,Stéphane Gloor,Bertrand Yersin +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the benefits of an individualized treatment regimen on the quantity of benzodiazepine administered and the duration of its use during alcohol withdrawal treatment were evaluated in a prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled trial.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brief alcohol intervention and alcohol assessment do not influence alcohol use in injured patients treated in the emergency department: a randomized controlled clinical trial.
Jean-Bernard Daeppen,Jacques Gaume,Pierre Bady,Bertrand Yersin,Jean-Marie Calmes,Jean-Claude Givel,Gerhard Gmel +6 more
TL;DR: This study provides the evidence that a 10-15-minute BAI does not decrease alcohol use and health resource utilization in hazardous drinkers treated in the ED, and demonstrates that commonly found decreases in hazardous alcohol use in control groups cannot be attributed to the baseline alcohol assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Undertreatment of acute pain (oligoanalgesia) and medical practice variation in prehospital analgesia of adult trauma patients: a 10 yr retrospective study
Eric Albrecht,Patrick Taffé,Bertrand Yersin,Patrick Schoettker,Isabelle Decosterd,Olivier Hugli +5 more
TL;DR: Patients' characteristics but physicians' practice variations contributed to oligoanalgesia, a factor often overlooked in analyses of prehospital pain management, and further exploration of the sources of these variations may provide innovative targets for quality improvement programmes to achieve consistent pain relief for trauma victims.
