Review[Meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus: incidence, risk factors and interest of systematic screening for colonization in intensive-care unit].
To summarize recent international and national epidemiological data of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization in ICU. ⋯ Systematic screening for colonization on ICU admission and during hospitalization is essential for many authors to control the spread of MRSA. Other policies such as implementation of isolation precaution and antibiotic use also contribute to decrease the MRSA incidence rate observed for several years in French ICU.

Review[Patient-controlled epidural analgesia for labour: in practice].
Update on patient controlled epidural analgesia for labour. ⋯ The use of PCEA improves the quality of analgesic management offered to the parturients who are more and more willing to have a "more natural" childbirth. The PCEA gives them more autonomy and, in fine, enables them to better enjoy this unique event. The main barrier to a more widespread diffusion of PCEA in many institutions remains the financial issue, although a well-selected device and low cost disposables allow a reduction of indirect costs by decreasing care giver workload.
