Objective To investigate the antibiotic resistance distribution and profiles of multidrug resistant bacteria in respiratory intensive care unit ( RICU) , and to analyze the related risk factors for multidrug resistant bacterial infections. Methods Pathogens from79 patients in RICU from April 2008 to May 2009 were analyzed retrospectively. Meanwhile the risk factors were analyzed by multi-factor logistic analysis among three groups of patients with non-multidrug, multidrug and pandrug-resistant bacterialinfection. Results The top three in 129 isolated pathogenic bacteria were Pseudomonas aeruginosa ( 24. 0% ) , Staphylococcus aureus( 22. 5% ) , and Acinetobacter baumannii( 15. 5% ) . The top three in 76 isolated multidrug-resistant bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus ( 38. 9% ) , Pseudomonas aeruginosa ( 25. 0% ) , and Acinetobacter baumannii( 19. 4% ) . And the two main strains in 29 isolated pandrug-resistant bacteria were Pseudomonas aeruginosa ( 48. 3% ) and Acinetobacter baumannii ( 44. 8% ) . Multi-factor logistic analysis revealed that the frequency of admition to RICU, the use of carbapenem antibiotics, the time of mechanical ventilation, the time of urethral catheterization, and complicated diabetes mellitus were independent risk factors for multidrug-resistant bacterial infection( all P lt; 0. 05) . Conclusions There is a high frequency of multidrug-resistant bacterial infection in RICU. Frequency of admition in RICU, use of carbapenem antibiotics, time of mechanical ventilation, time of urethral catheterization, and complicated diabetes mellitus were closely related withmultidrug-resistant bacterial infection.
Objective To investigate the drug resistance and homogeneous analysis of Acinetobacter baumanii in emergency intensive care unit ( EICU) . Methods Four multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii ( MDR-Ab) strains isolated fromnosocomial inpatients fromJuly 25 to September 7 in 2009 were collected and tested for drug sensitivity and MIC determination as well. The A. baumannii isolates were typed with pulsed-field gel electrophoresis ( PFGE) to determine whether they derived fromthe same clone.Results Four isolates from nosocomial inpatients were resistant to multiple antibiotics including carbapenem. The PFGE types identified from four isolates were A and B. The A. baumannii isolates did not derived from the same clone. Conclusion The prevalence of nosocomial infection is not due to transmission of the same strains among different individuals in EICU.
Objective To formulate an evidence-based nursing scheme of eye care for an unconscious patient undergoing mechanical ventilation with eye complication. Methods Under the principle of PICO, the issue was put forward aiming directly at patient’s clinical manifestations, and the following databases as The Cochrane Library (Issue 12, 2011), PubMed (January 1980 to November 2011), EMbase (1974 to 2011) and CBM (1978 to 2011) were searched. Results A total of 3 guidelines, 2 systematic reviews and 9 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included. The evidence showed that eye cleaning was the very important part of eye care, and the commonly-used cleaning or rinsing solutions were saline and sterile water. Both moist cover and lubricating eye drops / ointment were used to prevent dryness in the eyes. For instance, polyethylene moisture covers could effectively prevent corneal abrasion, and lubricating eye drops / ointment were beneficial to eye observation, so these two methods needed to be properly selected in combination with patient’s conditions. Nurses had to assess the ability of the patient to close eyelids daily and helped the patient to close eyes, but the passive eyelids closure was inferior to the artificial tear ointment in the effect on preventing corneal abrasions; the integrated intervention of maintaining eyelids closure and forming eyeballs moisture chamber was more effective to prevent eye complications. According to the available evidence mentioned herein and the patient’s conditions, the following nursing scheme of eye care was formulated: cleaning the eyelids and peripheral skin using 0.9% saline gauze, covering the eyes with sterile polyethylene films which were fixed by anti-allergic adhesive tapes, changing the dressing every 12 hours, and observing closure of the eyelids every day. Seven days later, eye symptoms got obviously improved, with decreasing secretion, without congestion and chemosis, and negative results of fluorescein staining test. Conclusion Eye cleaning removes secretion and bacteria from the eyes. Polyethylene film prevents tear from evaporation and fully promotes the immune function of tears which can reduce the risk of infection. Eyelids closure and local moisture environment benefit the corneal epithelial repair.

Methods From January 2007 to January 2010, 376 critically ill patients were randomly divided into two groups. Patients in the control group received conventional oral cavity nursing treatment, and those in the treatment group underwent the selective digestive decontamination. Then, we compared the curative effect parameters of these two kinds of procedures for the two groups of patients. Results For patients in the treatment group, the rate of hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) was 18.4%, the occurring time of HAP was (7.2±3.2) days, the time of retaining artificial gas channel (trachea cannula / incision) was (10.5±3.8) days, the time of mechanical ventilation was (8.4±3.1) days, ICU stay time was (14.7±4.8) days, and the mortality rate was 11.6%. For the control group, the correspondent parameters were respectively 30.1%, (5.6±3.6) days, (12.5±4.6) days, (10.2±4.2) days, (17.2±6.2) days, and 19.4%. The differences of these parameters between the two groups were significant (Plt;0.05). Conclusion For patients in the ICU, the selective digestive decontamination can effectively control the occurrence of HAP, improve patient conditions, reduce hospitalization time, and decrease mortality rate.
ObjectiveTo analyze targeted surveillance results of nosocomial infection in Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and investigate the characteristics of nosocomial infection, in order to provide reference for constituting the intervention measures. MethodsWe monitored the incidence of nosocomial infection, the application and catheter-related infection of invasive operation, and the situation of multiple resistant bacteria screening and drug resistance characteristics of each patient who stayed more than two days in neurosurgical ICU during January to December 2013. ResultsThere were a total of 1 178 patients, and the total ICU stay was 4 144 days. The nosocomial infection rate was 4.92%, and the day incidence of nosocomial infection was 13.75‰. The nosocomial infection rate was significantly higher in January and between July and December compared with other months. Ventilator utilization rate was 9.75%; ventilator-associated pneumonia incidence density was 14.85 per 1 000 catheter-days; central line utilization rate was 28.40%; central line-associated bloodstream infection incidence density was 0.85 per 1 000 catheter-days; urinary catheter utilization rate was 97.90%; and the incidence density of catheter-associated urinary tract infection was 0.25 per 1 000 catheter-days. ConclusionThe nosocomial infection rate has an obvious seasonal characteristic in neurosurgical intensive care unit, so it is necessary to make sure that the hospital infection control full-time and part-time staff should be on alert, issue timely risk warning, and strengthen the risk management of hospital infection.
ObjectiveTo observe the effect of target monitoring on the patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in intensive care unit (ICU), analyze the risk factors and take effective measures to reduce the VAP occurrence. MethodsTarget monitoring was performed on patients with ventilator in ICU from January to July 2013 (observation group), and they were compared with those patients accepting general comprehensive monitoring in ICU from January to July 2012 (control group). The incidence of VAP was compared between the two groups. ResultsThe incidence of VAP in the observation group and the control group was 21.73‰ and 53.33‰, respectively. There was a significant difference between the observation group and the control group (P<0.05). ConclusionFor patients undergoing mechanical ventilation, target monitoring can control the risk factors and incidence of VAP, adjust the interference in time, and improve the curing rate.
