Does influenza outbreaks and hospital bed occupancy in Rome ( Italy ) : current management accommodate for seasonal variations in demand?
Hospital specialty wards react poorly and single handedly to a minor and predictable burden. Any winter bed crisis in the Lazio region is probably the result of defective management of available beds more than excess in demand.
Our data confirm that fibrinolytic activity can be extremely high in the mediastinum in response to clot formation. This may explain the hemostatic effects of a negative reexploration, where irrigation and the removal of clots may reduce the fibrinolytic process; this may allow the bleeding ends of capillaries and small vessels to thrombose. Decreased levels of alpha2-antiplasmin observed suggest that lysine analogs, such as epsilon-aminocaproic acid, may have a beneficial role when locally delivered into the mediastinum.
