摘要
Introduction: This study aimed to determine the rate of device-associated, health care-associated infection (DA-HAI), the excess in length of stay, the mortality, and the hand hygiene compliance in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and a neonatal ICU (NICU) in a hospital member of the International Infection Control Consortium (INICC) in El Salvador. Methodology: A prospective cohort, active DA-HAI surveillance study was conducted on patients admitted in the pediatric and neonatal ICUs from January 2007 to November 2009. The protocol and methodology implemented were developed by INICC. Data were collected in the participating ICUs, and analyzed at INICC headquarters by proprietary software. DA-HAI rates were recorded by applying the definitions of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Healthcare Safety Network. Results: Of 1,145 patients hospitalized in the PICU for 9,517 days, 177 acquired DA-HAIs (overall rate 15.5%), and 18.6 DA-HAIs per 1,000 ICU-days. Furthermore, 1,270 patients hospitalized in the NICU for 30,663 days acquired 302 DA-HAIs (overall rate 23.8%), and 9.8 DA-HAIs per 1,000 ICU-days. The central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLA-BSI) rates in the NICU and PICU were 9.9 and 10.0 per 1,000 catheter-days respectively. The ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) rate was 16.1 per 1,000 ventilator-days in the NICU and 12.1 in the PICU. The catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) rate was 5.8 per 1,000 catheter-days in the PICU. Conclusions: DA-HAI rates in the PICU and NICU of our hospital were higher than international standards; infection control programs including surveillance and antibiotic policies must be a priority in El Salvador.
