  • Targeted Surveillance of Nosocomial Infection in Intensive Care Unit

    ObjectiveTo investigate the incidence of nosocomial infection and device-related infection in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), analyze its related risk factors, and search for effective measures to prevent and control nosocomial infection. MethodsBy prospective objective monitoring method, we surveyed 294 patients hospitalized in the ICU for at least 48 hours between January and December 2012. The doctor in charge filled in relevant information of the patients to complete the questionnaires, and hospital infection management staff was responsible for tracking, judging, and statistical analysis. ResultsIn the 294 patients, 61 had hospital infections, and there were 78 cases. The hospital infection rate was 20.75%, and the case infection rate was 26.53%. The day incidence of patient infection was 16.01‰, and day infection rate was 20.47‰ for infection cases. After average severity of illness score adjustment, the day case infection rate was 7.48%, ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) infection rate was 27.27‰, central venous catheter associated bloodstream infection rate was 6.58‰, and catheter associated urinary tract infection rate was 3.15‰. ConclusionICU has a high risk of hospital infection. In the device related infections, VAP infection rate is the highest. Continuous improvement can be achieved through monitoring and discovering problems, strengthening hospital infection management training for the medical personnel of the hospital, close communication between doctors and hospital infection management staff, and strict implementation of hospital infection management measures.
