Detection of the Most Common Microorganisms and Their Resistance against Anti-microbials in Intubated Patients in an ICU in Kerman, Iran
The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of anti-microbial resistance in intubated patients in intensive care unit (ICU) of Bahonar hospital in Kerman province, Iran during the year 2008. Tracheal samples were obtained from 111 intubated patients in the ICU by broncoalveolar lavage method. Amikacin, Ceftazidim and Imipenem were used to evaluate antibiotic susceptibility. For ...

Introduction:ventilator- associated pneumonia(VAP),as defined by the centers for disease control and prevention (CDC),is a pneumonia that occurs in a patient receiving mechanical ventilation that develops 48 hours or more after initiation of ventilation.re-intubation which occur within 72 hours of planned extubation may effect VAP incidence.the aim of this study was to determine VAP incidence i...
متن کاملDifficult intubation and outcomes in intubated patients admitted to intensive care unit
Background & Aims: Endotracheal intubation is commonly performed in the intensive care unit. Many international guidelines for difficult intubation management are available and the intensivists think that any endotracheal intubation in ICU is potentially difficult with several complications. Materials & Methods: After obtaining ethical approval, this descriptive and analytical study was cond...
متن کاملThe effect of a designed Care Plan on the incidence of aspiration in intubated patients: A randomized clinical trial
Background : Patients hospitalized in intensive care unit are at risk of aspiration and subsequent complications due to factors such as endotracheal tube, mechanical ventilation, and decreased level of consciousness. Aspiration of gastric residuals to the lung is one of the preventable lesions in patients who are feeding by tube and under mechanical ventilation.This study was conducted to deter...
