P3183Does complying guidelines matter?

Guidelines do matter.

Complying With the National Institutes of Health Guidelines and Principles for Rigor and Reproducibility: Refutations.

In 2014, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) delivered a document that described the principles and guidelines for reporting preclinical research (https://www.nih.gov/researchtraining/rigor-reproducibility/principles-guidelines-reportingpreclinical-research). These principles and guidelines were developed in a workshop that addressed the concern of reproducibility of preclinical research an...

A risk management audit: are we complying with the national guidelines for sedation by non-anaesthetists?

OBJECTIVES To assess the effect of a preprinted form in ensuring an improved and sustained quality of documentation of clinical data in compliance with the national guidelines for sedation by non-anaesthetists. DESIGN The process of retrospective case note audit was used to identify areas of poor performance, reiterate national guidelines, introduce a post-sedation advice sheet, and demonstra...

Complying With Evidence-Based Practice

The leading cause of death due to health care–associated infections is ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). The lack of clarity in the definition of VAP has made it difficult to execute and evaluate the effectiveness of prevention strategies. Beginning in 2013, hospitals were expected to implement a new surveillance definition algorithm to identify ventilator-associated events (VAEs). The Ins...

Capacity Complying Mimo Channel Models

In [1]1, a unified framework for constructing MIMO models based on the principle of maximum entropy was provided. Several MIMO directional and double directional models were derived and in each case, the mutual information was shown to have asymptotically a Gaussian behavior. Interestingly, the results were shown to be accurate, through simulations, in the finite regime with an astonishing smal...
