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

ABSTRACT

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.
