科学领域:
- 整形外科手术 整形外科手术
- 传染性疾病 传染性疾病
- 药房管理 药房管理
背景情况:
- 开放式骨折伤口具有很高的感染风险,受骨折位置,抗生素选择和时间的影响.
- 目前的指导方针缺乏关于开放骨折的最佳抗生素选择和持续时间的共识.
- 优化预防性抗生素的使用为药房部门提供了重要的管理机会.
研究的目的:
- 评估更新的机构抗生素指南对开口骨折感染率的影响.
- 评估在指南实施后遵守抗生素订购协议的情况.
- 为了分析60天的开放骨折相关感染的发病率.
主要方法:
- 150名患有开口骨折的患者的回顾性图表审查 (2014年7月 - 2018年11月).
- 根据2016年3月指南的变化,患者分为实施前 (n=75) 和实施后 (n=75) 组.
- 收集的数据包括人口统计,骨折部位,古斯蒂洛-安德森等级,感染率和抗生素使用.
主要成果:
- 在指南实施后,60天感染率没有显著降低 (指南实施前的6.7%,后的5.3%).
- 12个月的感染率显示出类似的趋势 (9.3%前比6.7%后).
- 不到50%的患者记录了Gustilo-Anderson骨折分级.
结论:
- 机构指导方针的更新并没有显著降低开口骨折感染率.
- 对指导方针的不严格遵守和骨折分级文档不足可能导致改善的缺乏.
- 未来的战略应优先考虑加强合规性,并制定有效预防感染的共识指南.

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures
2.3K
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.

Fractures: Bone Repair
2.9K
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

Infection

When a pathogen enters the body and reproduces, it can cause an infection, damage body cells, and cause illness symptoms that eventually lead to disease. Therefore, its prevention requires breaking the chain of infection.
The chain begins with pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, or parasites such as protozoa helminths. These can be present on the skin as transient or resident flora, or they can be acquired from the environment. Identifying and treating the type of infection and...

Standard Precaution

Standard precautions are the minimum infection control safeguards used while caring for all patients, irrespective of their disease condition. They help prevent the spread of common infectious microorganisms to healthcare workers, patients, and visitors in all healthcare settings.
Hand hygiene is the most crucial means to prevent the transmission of disease. Employers are legally required to provide their workers with personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize exposure or contact with...

Hand hygiene
3.1K
Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.
