Determinants of potentially inappropriate medication use in long-term and acute care settings: a systematic review.
The authors searched for studies conducted in the United States that described determinants of Potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) use in adults >/=60 years of age in a nursing home or residential care facility, in the emergency department (ED), or in the hospital. They concluded that among older adults, those who are on many medications are at increased risk for PIM use across multiple settings.

Carbapenem MICs in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella species producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamases in critical care patients from 2001 to 2009.
Carbapenem antibiotics are used as a first line of therapy against ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae. The researchers examined a cohort of critical care patients for gastrointestinal colonization with carbapenem-resistant ESBL-producing strains (CR-ESBL strains). They found that 10 percent of the isolates were resistant to at least one carbapenem antibiotic.

The impact of critically ill children on paediatric ED medication timeliness.
The presence of critically ill patients may impact care for other ED patients. The researchers evaluated whether the presence of a critically ill child was associated with the time to (1) receipt of the first medication among other patients, and (2) administration of diagnosis-specific medications. They concluded that the presence of critically ill patients was associated with a delay in medication administration to others.
