Objective To investigate the prevalence of nosocomial infection in a hospital and to provide a basis for hospital infection control. Methods Using bedside investigation and medical records analysis, we surveyed all hospitalized patients from 00:00 to 24:00 on July 19th, 2013. Results The real investigation was carried out on 1815 patients out of all the 1828 patients with a real investigation rate of 99.29%. There were 55 cases of nosocomial infection (55 case-times), and both the nosocomial point infection rate and case-time infection rate were 3.03%. The top three departments with the highest rate were Intensive Care Unit (37.50%), Neurosurgery Department One (13.73%) and Neurosurgery Department Two (12.00%). Most infections occurred on the lower respiratory tract, which accounted for 45.45%. Nosocomial infection pathogenic detection rate was 38.18% (21/55):6 cases of Staphylococcus aureus (28.57%), 5 of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (23.81%), 3 of Klebsiella pneumoniae (14.29%), and 2 cases of Acinetobacter baumanii (9.52%). The rate of antimicrobial drug use was 24.08%, in which drug treatment accounted for 75.29%. Gender, surgery, urinary catheter, vascular catheter, tracheostomy, ventilator application, hemodialysis, and use of antibiotics were all influencial factors for occurrence of nosocomial infection. Conclusion Nosocomial infection prevalence survey can help fully understand the status of hospital infection, help to carry out targeted surveillance, and better guidance for hospital to prevent and control nosocomial infection.
