Multicenter Study[Impact of Sfar experts' conference entitled "Modalities of sedation and/or analgesia in hospital setting"].
In 1999, the Société française d'anesthésie et de réanimation (Sfar) published guidelines regarding sedation in prehospital setting. The recommendated protocol for emergency intubation was the rapid sequence induction (RSI). The aim of this study was to assess the impact of these guidelines on clinical practices. ⋯ The Sfar guidelines regarding sedation in prehospital setting seem to meet a good compliance in clinical practice.

Case Reports[Refractory infectious ARDS: place of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation].
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a frequent cause of admission in intensive care unit. The treatment is well codified. ⋯ Extracorporeal oxygenation could be the ultimate treatment for these refractory hypoxemia patients. We report two cases of patients suffering from severe ARDS who beneficiated from extracorporeal oxygenation, pointing out the interest of this technique during severe ARDS as well as the accessibility and the feasibility of the technique even apart from a specialized center.

Multicenter Study[Cross-sectional survey of anaesthetic practices in Catalonia, Spain].
The aim of this is study was to describe the epidemiology of anaesthesia practice in Catalonia, Spain, in 2003. ⋯ Females, older patients, or those with poor physical status make high demands on resources, as do procedures in obstetrics, orthopaedics and ophthalmology. These needs must be planned for in the organization of services and training.

The French Society of Anaesthesiology (SFAR) recommends the use of pre printed self-stick syringe labels. However, French anaesthesia-syringe labelling customs is yet unknown. ⋯ Colour labels are used in France by nearly half of the centers, but international colour code is less spread.

Case Reports[Mushroom poisoning by brunneoincarnata: about two cases].
Amatoxin poisoning constitutes the main cause of death due to mushroom intoxication in Europe. This one was initially reported for the ingestion of Amanita phalloides with frequently fatal outcome. ⋯ With the knowledge of mushroom, most of them involved other species which can often be linked to edible mushroom. We report a collective intoxication by Lepiota brunneoincarnata.
