Outbreak of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: Are Point-of-Use Filters Useful?
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, in intensive care units (ICUs), causes infections with high morbidity and mortality rates. Tap water outlets are often contaminated with P.aeruginosa and may represent a source of endemic infections in ICUs. The aim of this study was to explore the role of point-of-use (POU) filters in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in reducing P.aeruginosa colonizations/infections....

متن کاملCorrelation between Quality of Care and Length of Hospital Stay in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Background: Length of hospital stay (LHS) is the most important and practical indicator in hospitals, which largely reflects the level of hospital performance and activity. It is also an important indicator for resource planning. Moreover, the quality of care can theoretically be related to LHS. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between LHS and quality of nursing care in...
