概括
在新生儿重症监护室 (NICU) 中,COVID-19大流行并没有减少黄金葡萄球菌的获取. 对SARS-CoV-2的增强感染控制措施可能不会影响S. aureus向新生儿的传播.
科学领域:
- 新生儿医学 新生儿医学
- 传染病流行病学 传染病流行病学
- 公共卫生 公共卫生
背景情况:
- 新生儿重症监护病房 (NICU) 面临医疗相关感染的挑战,包括黄金葡萄球菌.
- 在全球范围内,COVID-19大流行促使实施增强的感染预防和控制 (IPC) 措施.
- 这些与流行病相关的IPC措施对新生儿中S. aureus等非SARS-CoV-2病原体的影响尚不清楚.
研究的目的:
- 评估COVID-19大流行及其相关IPC措施对新生儿入院NICU的黄金葡萄球菌感染率的影响.
- 确定在大流行期间实施的增强感染控制实践是否影响了黄金色杆菌传播动态.
主要方法:
- 追溯队列研究的设计.
- 包括6363名新生儿被录取到三个NICU.
- 与流行病相关的IPC措施实施之前和之后的S. aureus获取发病率的比较.
主要成果:
- 在比较大流行前和大流行后的时期时,没有观察到黄金葡萄球菌的获取率有统计学意义的减少.
- 尽管引入了旨在预防SARS-CoV-2传播的额外IPC实践,但S. aureus获取的发病率仍然相似.
结论:
- 在COVID-19大流行期间实施的增强感染预防实践虽然对SARS-CoV-2有效,但并没有证明NICU新生儿中黄金葡萄球菌的获取减少.
- 需要进一步的研究,以确定有效的具体策略,以减少在新生儿中S. aureus的传播,在疫情期间和之后的新生儿人口.

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.

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...

3.4K
Nursing management of pneumonia involves promoting airway patency, facilitating rest and conserving energy, encouraging fluid intake, maintaining nutrition, and educating patients.
The nurse must practice strict medical asepsis and adhere to infection control guidelines to minimize healthcare-associated infections.
Enhance airway patency
Position the patient correctly to facilitate drainage of the affected lung segments. Manual or mechanical percussion and vibration can also be employed....

5.4K
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) occur in a healthcare facility while a person receives care for another ailment. This category also includes work-related infections among healthcare staff.
HAIs significantly increase the cost of health care. Extended stays in healthcare institutions, increased disability, increased costs of medications, including specialized antibiotics, and prolonged recovery times add to the patient's expenses and the healthcare institution and funding bodies.
