NHS Evidence has published some case studies of innovative practices so that organisations can learn from one another. Also the Cochrane Topics section has some ‘implications for practice’ to help inform local practices. Recent additions include:
High dose rate versus low dose rate intracavity brachytherapy for locally advanced uterine cervix cancer
Beta-lactam antibiotic monotherapy versus beta-lactam–aminoglycoside antibiotic combination therapy for sepsis
Corticosteroids for treating severe sepsis and septic shock
Non-pharmacological interventions for breathlessness in advanced stages of malignant and non-malignant diseases
Pulmonary artery catheters for adult patients in intensive care
Colloids versus crystalloids for fluid resuscitation in critically ill patients
Oral anticoagulants versus antiplatelet therapy for preventing further vascular events after transient ischaemic attack or minor stroke of presumed arterial origin
