[Hospital infections and their prevention in dental clinics]. / Vnutribol'nichnye infektsii i ikh profilaktika v stomatologicheskikh poliklinikakh.

The retrospective analysis of medical documents from several dental clinics of Kazan in 1993-1995 revealed an increase in the occurrence of different form of hospital infections (HI) in patients. As the result of our investigations, the factors of the transmission of HI among the patients of dental clinics were established, the sources of infective agents were found out and the etiology of hospital purulent inflammatory diseases in dental clinics was studied. Some measures permitting the prevention of further increase in the occurrence of HI in the patients of dental clinics are proposed.

[Prevention of suppurative-inflammatory complications in catheterization of central veins]. / Profilaktika gnoino-vospalitel'nykh oslozhnenii pri kateterizatsii tsentral'nyk ven.

Analysis of the incidence of pyoinflammatory diseases in intensive care units has shown that the main reason for the onset of this pathology is introduction of catheters into major veins, with their following fixation with plaster. To prevent the above condition, we have suggested a new technique of catheter fixation using a film-forming preparation "Lifusol". The preparation closes reliably the inlet for the infection agent and reduces considerably the incidence of intrahospital pyogenic complications.
