Two simple interventions — sterile tubing change in combination with hub scrub compliance — can significantly reduce the rates of central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) in children’s hospital neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), according to a multi-centre improvement collaborative.“The practices we identified that are associated with lower central line infections should be considered by clinicians […]
Carestream is expanding into new imaging modalities, including cone beam CT, and key advances were demonstrated at the recent British Orthopaedic Association (BOA) Annual Congress conference held in Liverpool, UK, where a conceptual scale model of cone beam CT was on display. Patient studies are helping to guide Carestream’s development of cone beam CT (CBCT) […]
