FACTOID #53: If you thought Antarctica was inhospitable, think again - its land area is only ninety-eight percent ice. Reassuringly, the other 2% is categorised as "barren rock".
Chastre is a municipality located in the Belgian province of Walloon Brabant. On January 1st, 2004 Chastre had a total population of 6,458 (3,136 males and 3,322 females). The total area is 31.27 kmē which gives a population density of 206.50 inhabitants per kmē.
Contrairement à de nombreuses entités, Chastre n'avait délégué aucun conseiller ou représentant de CCAT à cette journée, seul le groupe Ecolo y était représenté.
Dans l'immédiat et faute de mieux, ECOLO Chastre invite la population à participer de manière créative et positive à la consultation actuelle et préalable à l'étude d'incidences.
ECOLO Chastre " espérait " le 20 juin 2007 que le débat soit mené " avec ouverture et compétence " avec " une réelle participation citoyenne au projet ".
When the new protocol was used, noted Dr. Chastre, “no excess mortality was observed, and the percentage of patients with a secondary … lung infection decreased from nearly 25% to less than 10%.” The percentage of recurrent infections with multiresistant organisms also decreased slightly.
Chastre and colleagues likewise examined the effect of shortening the antibiotic courses for 402 VAP patients in 51 French ICUs.
Therefore, by routinely using short courses, Dr. Chastre concluded, “it’s possible to decrease the total amount of antibiotics used in the ICU.” Among patients with recurrent pulmonary infection, the percentage of microorganisms found to be multiresistant was slightly lower in the short-course group.
