BENEFITS OF SPREADING GERMS IDENTIFICATION IN THE EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SURVEILLANCE OF HIGH NOSOCOMIAL RISK UNITS
Abstract:
The identification of spreading microbial flora in patients who were admitted in units with high nosocomial risk allows that the epidemiologist initiates special supervision and control measures according to the identified Gram-positive or Gram-negative flora. The analysis of the data obtained was performed using statistical processing programs: Epi Info and WHONET. During 2017, the Clinical Observation Sheets of 7995 patients admitted to a private health facility were analyzed. The most common positive pathological products, bacteriologically investigated, are required from the obstetrics-gynaecology ward, followed extensively by the general surgery department for both screening and diagnostic purposes. Gram-negative germs can pollute the hospital environment, requiring more rigorous cleaning and disinfection measures in the wards, to prevent their circulation in the hospital. We appreciate that Gram-positive germs can be handled in the future by the caregiver unless the hand hygiene and the handling of the sterile medical instruments are intensified.
