Usually, these patients are first offered an endoscopy to view any stones stuck in the bile duct, then the gallbladder is removed as a second stage.
To strengthen training, the HUG pharmacy came up with the idea of setting up a fictitious patient bedroom containing errors related to the preparation and administration of injectable drugs. At the same time, an e-learning module was developed based on research.

In ICU, ventilator-associated pneumonia is the most common of all hospital-acquired infections. Its consequences include a longer duration of mechanical ventilation, more time spent in ICU and the hospital, and a high mortality rate.
Aux soins intensifs, la pneumonie associée à la ventilation mécanique est l’infection nosocomiale la plus fréquente. Elle entraîne une prolongation de la durée de ventilation mécanique, du temps de séjour aux soins intensifs et à l’hôpital, ainsi qu’une surmortalité.
