Objective To confirm the effect of comprehensive prevention and care measures in reducing the incidence of multi-drug resistance in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients. Method From March 1 to August 31 in 2014, we took routine measures to prevent multi-drug-resistant infections in ICU patients, and from September 1 in 2014 to February 28 in 2015, We added a series of comprehensive prevention measures to prevent multi-drug resistant infections including focus on isolation, temperature control of the ward, ward disinfection, quality improvement of basic care, standardized management and disinfection of equipments in ICU. Finally, we compared the detection rate of multi-drug resistant patients before and after the comprehensive nursing intervention. Results After taking comprehensive care interventions and a six-month monitoring, the detection rate of multi-resistant bacteria occurred in 11.87‰ of the patients. Compared with the previous six months, the detection rate dropped from 16.64‰ to 11.87‰ with a significant difference (χ2=6.346,P=0.012). Conclusions Comprehensive nursing intervention measures taken by the ICU department can effectively reduce multi-drug resistant infections in ICU patients.
