Targeted monitoring of nosocomial infections in a neonatal intensive care unit / 现代临床护理

Objective To explore the incidence of nosocomial infection in a neonatal intensive care unit(NICU) so as to come out with scientific and effective measures for infection control. Method Real-time monitoring system was used for investigating nosocomial infection of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI), and central-line associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) in NICU. Results Among 2 836 patients, 28 patients were infected, with the rate of 0.99%and the case-time infection rate of 1.09%. The nosocomial infection manifested to be blood infection with the rate of 35.48%, and 10%of main pathogens were gram-negative bacteria. Conclusions Targeted monitoring in NICU can make the nosocomial infection information acquired timely, objectively and accurately. The strict and intensified prevention and control program should be adopted to reduce the neonatal nosocomial infection.

Targeted Monitoring and Analysis of Surgical Site Infection / 中华医院感染学杂志

OBJECTIVE To study on control measures of surgical site infection.METHODS By forward-looking survey methodology,surgical patients(including obstetrics) with surgical incision infection were investigated.RESULTS The highest infection rate(2.67%) were found in patients with surgical trauma to the largest,longest operation time,coronary artery bypass grafting.In 11 cases surgical site infections,only 1 case were given antibiotics before anesthesia,10 cases were administrated antibiotics post operation more than 4 days.The correct rate of preoperative and postoperative usage of antibiotics was only 9.09%.The size of surgical trauma,operative time,perioperative usage of antibiotics were related to the infection rate.CONCLUSIONS Target monitoing of the surgical site infection can decrease the infection rate.

Nosocomial Infection in Intensive Care Unit with Target and Environmental Monitoring:A Correlation Analysis / 中华医院感染学杂志

OBJECTIVE Through nosocomial infection targeted surveillance in intensive care unit(ICU),to evaluate the characteristics of nosocomical infection and their its correlation with the results of environmental monitoring at the same period.METHODS Nosocomial infection monitoring was explored on patients who were in ICU more than 48 h from Jan 1997 to Jun 2008.Correlation analysis was conducted between the rate of nosocomial infection in ICU and the same period environmental monitoring results.Data were analyzed with the SPSS10.34 software.RESULTS There was significant difference(P0.05)in the rate of infection cases before and after target monitoring was practiced.The site of infection was mainly in respiratory tract,followed by the gastrointestinal tract and urinary tract;The full-time personnel in duty for nosocomial infection surveillance monitored the indoor air,object surface,medical personnel's hands in ICU,their qualified rate was 78.28%,90.94% and 95.83%,respectively.CONCLUSIONS There are many risk factors in patients in ICU,ICU should be looked as one of the important nosocomial infection monitoring department.The target monitoring of nosocomial infection is an effective method;the nosocomial infection rate in ICU and the environmental result at the same period don't show relevance,the environmental hygiene monitoring should be scientific and practical.

Target Monitoring of Nosocomial Infection in ICU / 中华医院感染学杂志

OBJECTIVE To strengthen and explore the effect of target monitoring in ICU.METHODS To put out prospectively the target monitoring of the nosocomial infection in ICU from Jan 2006 to Dec 2007.RESULTS A total of 3917 patients were monitored and 217 of them suffered from infection.The day infection rate was 11.7‰,and the infection rater per thousand day were 13.4‰,10.0‰ in 2006 and 2007,respectively.The infection rate related to urinary catheter,central venous catheter and ventilator were 1.2‰,0.9‰,4.1‰,2.8‰,14.2‰,6.0‰ in the past two years,respectively.It decrease 0.3‰,1.3‰,8.2‰,respectively.Ventilator-associated infection was the main infection part of hospital infection,and the patients after liver transplantation ICU had the highest infectionrate.CONCLUSIONS Prospective target monitoring is a scientific monitoring method that plays an important role in controlling and preventing hospital-acquired infection.It deserves recommendation.

Target Monitoring of Nosocomial Infection in Department of Neurology / 中华医院感染学杂志

OBJECTIVE To understand the characteristics of nosocomial infection and its risk factors in the department of neurology, and to explore effective prevention and control measures for reducing the incident rate of nosocomial infection. METHODS Target monitoring procedures were setup. Prospective monitoring was done in inpatients in the department of neurology from Jan 2005 to Dec 2006. RESULTS Among 2682 patients, 135 patients (163 cases) suffered from nosocomial infection. The infection rate of the cases was 6.08%. Compared to the rate before monitoring (13.77%), it decreased 7.69%. The most common infection sites of the nosocomial infection were lower respiratory tract (34.36%) and urinary tract (26.38%), respectively. Pathogen test showed that main pathogens were Gram-negative bacilli (50.00%), then the fungi (32.95%). CONCLUSIONS Through target monitoring we can acquire patients′ information accurately in time, and set effective prevention and control measures to reduce the nosocomial infection rate.
