ABSTRACT

The context and constraints of modern medicine (hospital beds and caregivers' reductions, ambulatory shift, new therapeutic approaches, integration of supportive care…) combined with new societal and Health system changes (ageing population, chronic diseases, new requirements of the patients…) redefine the orientations of care and question professional practices. The participative approach (PA) as a model of team organization proposes solutions involving the skills of the various interacting caregivers and experimental knowledge and consideration of patient needs. The multi-professional staff (MPS) is a collaborative tool of this participative approach that federates a team around a health or care project personalized from the crosschecked eyes of care professionals and from a shared decision-making process. Its objective is to combine the improvement of quality of care with quality of life at work. It requires a transversal mindset of teams, intrinsic values and specific characteristics. Its organization is simple but requires some rules and we will develop the main steps to success. This article, which is the result of a joint reflection and experience of health professionals, shows the principles and wants to demonstrate the weakness of MPS. The interest of the French National Cancer Institute for this collaborative tool is an asset for further work in the perspective of generalization of MPS for all patients with chronic disease and not only for patients at palliative phase.

ABSTRACT

Admission of patients with hematological malignancies to intensive care unit (ICU) raises recurrent ethical issues for both hematological and intensivist teams. The decision of transfer to ICU has major consequences for end of life care for patients and their relatives. It also impacts organizational human and economic aspects for the ICU and global health policy. In light of the recent advances in hematology and critical care medicine, a wide multidisciplinary debate has been conducted resulting in guidelines approved by consensus by both disciplines. The main aspects developed were (i) clarification of the clinical situations that could lead to a transfer to ICU taking into account the severity criteria of both hematological malignancy and clinical distress, (ii) understanding the process of decision-making in a context of regular interdisciplinary concertation involving the patient and his relatives, (iii) organization of a collegial concertation at the time of the initial decision of transfer to ICU and throughout and beyond the stay in ICU. The aim of this work is to propose suggestions to strengthen the collaboration between the different teams involved, to facilitate the daily decision-making process, and to allow improvement of clinical practice.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Pregnancy in women with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria is rare, with few reports on maternal and fetal mortality rates. DESIGN AND METHODS: A specific questionnaire designed to solicit data on pregnancies in women with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria was sent to all members of the French Society of Hematology in January 2008. RESULTS: We identified 27 pregnancies in 22 women at 10 French Society of Hematology centers between 1978 and 2008. The median age was 21.5 years at diagnosis of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria and 27 years at pregnancy. None of these women had received eculizumab during their pregnancy. Maternal complications, consisting mostly of cytopenias requiring transfusions, occurred in 95% of cases. Two cases of severe aplastic anemia (de novo in one case and relapse in the other) were recorded. No thrombotic events occurred during pregnancy, whereas 4 postpartum thromboses (16%) were recorded, 2 of which were fatal (maternal mortality rate 8%). Most patients received antithrombotic prophylaxis during pregnancy and postpartum (n=16; 64%). Delivery was preterm in 29% of cases, and birth weight was less than 3 kg in 53% of cases. Fetal mortality rate was 4%. CONCLUSIONS: Pregnancy during paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria is associated with increased maternal and fetal mortality rates (8% and 4%, respectively, in this series). Maternal mortality is related to postpartum thromboses. Prophylactic anticoagulation is recommended during pregnancy and for six weeks postpartum.

ABSTRACT

The << Standards, Options and Recommendations >> (SOR) project, started in 1993, is a collaboration between the Federation of French Cancer Centres (FNCLCC), the 20 French cancer centres, and specialists from French public universities, general hospitals and private clinics. The main objective is the development of clinical practice guidelines to improve the quality of health care and the outcome of cancer patients. The methodology is based on a literature review and critical appraisal by a multidisciplinary group of experts, with feedback from specialists in cancer care delivery. Objectives : To establish the Standards, Options and Recommendations clinical practice guidelines for the management of procedure related pain (lumbar puncture, bone marrow aspiration or biopsy, blood sampling) in adult oncology patients. To define, on the basis of the critical appraisal of the best available evidence and expert agreement, the clinical situations in which a pain preventive strategy should be implemented. Methods. Medline(R) was searched using specific search strategies from January 1966 to August 2003. Literature monitoring was performed to identify controlled clinical trials published between August 2003 to September 2004. In addition several Internet sites were searched in July 2003. Results. A total of 12 references, corresponding to 10 randomised clinical trials, were identified. Clinical guidelines have been defined for each invasive procedure.
