Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

5.0K
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...

Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding

1.9K
Enteral nutrition encompasses various methods of delivering nutrition directly to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, bypassing traditional oral intake. It is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot eat by mouth but have a functioning digestive system. Key methods include nasointestinal feeding, gastrostomy, and jejunostomy, each suited to different clinical scenarios based on the patient's needs and condition.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Infectious complications after gastroschisis repair are frequent. Preterm delivery, low birth weight, and silo use increase infection risk in these infants.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal surgery
  • Pediatric surgery
  • Infectious disease

Background:

  • Gastroschisis is a congenital abdominal wall defect.
  • Infectious complications pose a significant risk to neonates undergoing gastroschisis repair.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify modifiable factors contributing to infectious complications in gastroschisis patients.
  • To reduce the incidence of postoperative infections in gastroschisis.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 129 gastroschisis patients (2001-2013), excluding complicated cases.
  • Analysis of patient demographics, surgical procedures, and postoperative infectious complications using CDC definitions.

Main Results:

  • 24% of patients developed infections within 60 days of life.
  • Infection risk was higher in preterm infants, those with lower birth weight, and those requiring silos or sutured repair.
  • Infected patients had a significantly longer hospital stay.

Conclusions:

  • Infectious complications are common after gastroschisis repair.
  • Key risk factors include prematurity, low birth weight, silo use, and sutured repair.
  • Recommendations include carrying infants to term and judicious use of silos.
