Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures01:22

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Dialysis Technology
  • Infectious Disease Prevention

Background:

  • Peritonitis remains a significant clinical challenge for patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD), despite advancements in PD systems.
  • Identifiable and modifiable risk factors for peritonitis necessitate targeted interventions.
  • Observed variations in peritonitis rates across different PD connection systems in 1998 highlighted a need for improvement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To reduce peritonitis rates in patients on peritoneal dialysis through a multifaceted continuous quality initiative (CQI) program.
  • To evaluate the impact of specific interventions, including patient retraining, equipment modifications, and manufacturer choice, on peritonitis incidence.

Main Methods:

  • Initiated a comprehensive CQI program in January 1999.
  • Included retraining all current and new PD patients, transitioning to titanium adapters, and standardizing PD equipment from a single manufacturer.
  • Taught specific techniques for using solution bags and exchange devices to minimize contamination risks.

Main Results:

  • Peritonitis rates improved significantly, decreasing from 1 episode per 7.5 patient-months in 1998 to 1 episode per 36.5 patient-months by September 2002.
  • A statistically significant difference in peritonitis rates was observed between different automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) systems and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) connection systems.
  • Specific systems showed marked differences: Freedom Cycler PD+ (Fresenius) had a higher rate (1:6.9 patient-months) than HomeChoice cycler (Baxter) (1:23.9 patient-months); Premier Double Bag (Fresenius) had a higher rate (1:6.3 patient-months) than UltraBag (Baxter) (1:26 patient-months).

Conclusions:

  • Ongoing continuous quality improvement (CQI) efforts are effective in significantly reducing peritonitis rates in PD patients.
  • Key components of successful CQI include rigorous patient retraining, protocol standardization, use of advanced connection components like titanium adapters, and careful selection of PD connectology systems.
  • The choice of PD equipment manufacturer and specific connectology systems can influence peritonitis rates, suggesting a potential supplier-dependent effect.
