NOSOCOMIAL INFECTIONS IN A SECONDARY HOSPITAL SERVICE IN THE COVID ERA
Abstract:
Healthcare-associated infections have an increased incidence, due to the antibiotic medication
introduced without indication. Multiple infections with bacteria resistant to existing antibiotic
medication occur, and the mortality rate given by these infections exponentially increases. Due to the
increase in longevity of life, institutionalized which increases the incidence of HAI. The conduct
developed in the programs to combat these infections must include activities for the prevention,
surveillance, and training of medical staff in this regard. Several elaborate studies demonstrate the
importance of staff education in terms of protection methods and show an exponential decrease in the
occurrence of HAI. Continuous surveillance associated with infection control programs contributes to a
better approach, to reducing healthcare costs, and the effort to improve the system. Specific activities
need to be organized and supported at both regional and national levels, with extensive programs to
prevent and combat the occurrence of resistant multi-drug infections.
