متن کاملSurveillance of Antibiotic Consumption and Antibiotic Resistance in Swedish Intensive Care Units
Sjukhusrelaterade infektioner är en vanlig orsak till dödlighet och lidande runt om i världen. Ett allt större intresse har visats detta ämnesområde och WHO har påpekat vikten av att jobba med dessa frågor. Problemet är störst på sjukhusens intensivvårdsavdelningar där de sjukaste patienterna vårdas. Förekomsten av bakterier som är resistenta mot ett eller flera antibiotika är också störst på d...
متن کاملControlling antibiotic resistance in intensive care units
Colonisation with multidrug resistant bacteria, especially resistant Gram-negatives, occurs frequently and increasingly in intensive care units (ICUs), also in the Netherlands. Infections caused by (resistant) microorganisms increase morbidity and mortality in this vulnerable patient group. This necessitates more effective control measures. Current infection control strategies include hand hygi...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance in the intensive care unit.
Antimicrobial resistance has emerged as an important determinant of outcome for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). This is largely due to the administration of inadequate antimicrobial treatment, which is most often related to bacterial antibiotic resistance. In addition, the escalating problem of antimicrobial resistance has substantially increased overall health care costs. This incre...
