Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although most clinicians are aware of the problem of antimicrobial resistance, most also underestimate its significance in their own hospital. The incorrect and inappropriate use of antibiotics and other antimicrobials, as well as poor prevention and poor control of infections, are contributing to the development of such resistance. Appropriate use of antibiotics and compliance with infection prevention and control measures should be integral aspects of good clinical practice and standards of care. However, these activities are often inadequate among clinicians, and there is a considerable gap between the best evidence and actual clinical practice. In hospitals, cultural determinants influence clinical practice, and improving behaviour in terms of infection prevention and antibiotics-prescribing practice remains a challenge. Despite evidence supporting the effectiveness of best practices, many clinicians fail to implement them, and evidence-based processes and practices that are known to optimize both the prevention and the treatment of infections tend to be underused. Addressing precisely this problem, this volume offers an essential toolkit for all surgeons and intensivists interested in improving their clinical practices.

Download or read book Infection Control in the Intensive Care Unit written by Hendrick K.F. van Saene and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-12-26 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intensive care is a rapidly changing area of medicine, and after four years from the 2nd edition the volume editors and authors have deemed necessary to update it. In the recent years, in fact, five new randomised controlled trials and five new meta-analyses demonstrate that selective decontamination of the digestive tract [SDD] is an antimicrobial prophylaxis to prevent severe infections of not only lower airways but also of blood. Additionally, SDD has been shown to reduce inflammation including multiple organ failure and mortality. An intriguing observation is the evidence that SDD using parenteral and enteral antimicrobials reduces rather than increases antimicrobial resistance. Moreover, a new chapter on microcirculation had been added. The volume will be an invaluable tool for all those requiring in depth knowledge in the ever expanding field of infection control.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les infections nosocomiales et surtout leur prévention doivent être une préoccupation permanente de toute personne travaillant à l'hôpital quelle que soit son activité : services de soins, bien évidemment, mais aussi services médico-techniques ou services administratifs. La prise en charge des infections nosocomiales nécessite des connaissances étendues : infectiologie, microbiologie, réanimation, chirurgie, santé publique, médecine du travail et encore bien d'autres spécialités médicales, pharmaceutiques ou techniques. Cet ouvrage traite de façon multidisciplinaire, en 42 chapitres écrits par des spécialistes reconnus de chaque domaine, du très vaste sujet des infections nosocomiales, de leur diagnostic, de leur traitement et de leur prévention. Une prise de conscience de l'importance de la lutte contre les infections nosocomiales s'est effectuée au cours de deux dernières décennies. Des enquêtes nationales de prévalence y ont contribué en montrant que la tâche est immense. Elle est à la mesure de la gravité des pathologies traitées à l'hôpital, du vieillissement de la population et des risques inhérents à l'audace et à l'agressivité des méthodes thérapeutiques modernes. Les besoins en formation des personnels sont considérables pour mettre en œuvre une démarche de type assurance-qualité que nécessitent des pratiques de soins à risque, chez des malades à risque, pour parvenir à la meilleure efficience possible.

Book excerpt: Infections that occur in the wound created by an invasive surgical procedure are generally referred to as surgical site infections (SSIs). SSIs are one of the most important causes of healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs). A prevalence survey undertaken in 2006 suggested that approximately 8% of patients in hospital in the UK have an HCAI. SSIs accounted for 14% of these infections and nearly 5% of patients who had undergone a surgical procedure were found to have developed an SSI. However, prevalence studies tend to underestimate SSI because many of these infections occur after the patient has been discharged from hospital. SSIs are associated with considerable morbidity and it has been reported that over one-third of postoperative deaths are related, at least in part, to SSI. However, it is important to recognise that SSIs can range from a relatively trivial wound discharge with no other complications to a life-threatening condition. Other clinical outcomes of SSIs include poor scars that are cosmetically unacceptable, such as those that are spreading, hypertrophic or keloid, persistent pain and itching, restriction of movement, particularly when over joints, and a significant impact on emotional wellbeing. SSI can double the length of time a patient stays in hospital and thereby increase the costs of health care. Additional costs attributable to SSI of between £814 and £6626 have been reported depending on the type of surgery and the severity of the infection. The main additional costs are related to re-operation, extra nursing care and interventions, and drug treatment costs. The indirect costs, due to loss of productivity, patient dissatisfaction and litigation, and reduced quality of life, have been studied less extensively.

Book excerpt: Les infections nosocomiales (IN) sont des infections qui surviennent au cours ou à la suite de la prise en charge d’un patient. Avec le développement des démarches d’évaluation et d’accréditation, ces infections ont commencé à être utilisées comme indicateurs de la qualité des soins. Cependant, la validité de ces taux fait l’objet d’un débat scientifique. Ce travail s’inscrit dans le cadre du Projet Hospitalier de Recherche Clinique Noso.Qual qui visait à étudier le lien entre d’une part les indicateurs de structure et processus, et d’autre part les IN comme indicateurs de résultats en réanimation et en chirurgie. L’élaboration des scores a nécessité une revue de la littérature, des consultations d’experts, et des enquêtes de terrain. Les scores étaient organisés en sept dimensions : Ressources humaines, Architecture, Sécurité et environnement, Gestion de la documentation, Prise en charge du patient, Gestion du risque infectieux, Evaluation et surveillance. Les scores obtenus ont été confrontés aux données de surveillances en utilisant une régression de Poisson. Deux dimensions seulement Architecture et Gestion de la documentation étaient significativement associées aux IN avec un effet protecteur. Quant aux scores globaux, ils étaient significativement associés aux IN en réanimation pour tous les sites étudiés mais pas en chirurgie. Le constat obtenu en réanimation pourrait ainsi soutenir la construction d'indicateurs initiés en France et dans d'autres pays. Quant aux résultats en chirurgie, ils ne doivent pas remettre en cause ni le principe de surveillance des IN ni la nécessité de l’évaluation des actions de prévention et d’améliorations des pratiques professionnelles

This book was released on 2017-01-27 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surgical site infections are caused by bacteria that get in through incisions made during surgery. They threaten the lives of millions of patients each year and contribute to the spread of antibiotic resistance. In low- and middle-income countries, 11% of patients who undergo surgery are infected in the process. In Africa, up to 20% of women who have a caesarean section contract a wound infection, compromising their own health and their ability to care for their babies. But surgical site infections are not just a problem for poor countries. In the United States, they contribute to patients spending more than 400 000 extra days in hospital at a cost of an additional US $10 billion per year. No international evidence-based guidelines had previously been available before WHO launched its global guidelines on the prevention of surgical site infection on 3 November 2016, and there are inconsistencies in the interpretation of evidence and recommendations in existing national guidelines. These new WHO guidelines are valid for any country and suitable to local adaptations, and take account of the strength of available scientific evidence, the cost and resource implications, and patient values and preferences.
