BACKGROUND Serial interventions are often used to reduce the risk of health care-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections. To our knowledge, the relative impact of these interventions has not previously been ascertained. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study of 4 major infection control interventions using an interrupted time series design to evaluate thei...
OBJECTIVES To provide benchmarking data on antifungal use in intensive care units (ICUs), to analyse risk factors and to look for correlations with antibiotic use data and structure parameters. METHODS Antimicrobial use data for 13 ICUs were obtained from computerized databases from January 2004 through June 2005. Antimicrobial usage density (AD) is expressed as daily defined doses/1000 patie...
To estimate the organ donor potential in Denmark we conducted a prospective registration of deaths in all intensive care units (ICUs), counting 15 ICUs and two neurosurgical ICUs in the four northern Danish counties, which cover a population of 1.64 million inhabitants or 30% of the Danish population. From September 1, 2000 till August 31, 2002, all deaths in the ICUs in 15 hospitals were recor...
We report the results of the International Infection Control Consortium (INICC) surveillance study from January 2003 through December 2008 in 173 intensive care units (ICUs) in Latin America, Asia, Africa, and Europe. During the 6-year study, using Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) US National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN; formerly the National Nosocomial Infection Surveillanc...
BACKGROUND Intracoronary ultrasound (ICUS) has provided insights into vascular pathology and interventional therapy. The Strategy for ICUS-Guided PTCA and Stenting (SIPS) trial tested the hypothesis that routine ICUS guidance of coronary interventions improves outcome. METHODS AND RESULTS A single-center consecutive-patient randomized design (with 6-month angiographic and 2-year clinical foll...
INTRODUCTION Prior reports suggest that restrictive ICU visitation policies can negatively impact patients and their loved ones. However, visitation practices in US ICUs, and the hospital factors associated with them, are not well described. METHODS A telephone survey was made of ICUs, stratified by US region and hospital type (community, federal, or university), between 2008 and 2009. Hospit...
BACKGROUND Patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) have complex problems and experience many medical errors. Currently, little is known about the measurement of medication errors and adverse drug events in Canadian ICUs. OBJECTIVE To investigate methods of measuring medication errors and adverse drug events in ICUs in Canada. METHODS A questionnaire was constructed and uploaded to an onli...
INTRODUCTION When patients are transferred from intensive care units (ICUs) to general wards with a tracheostomy in situ, there is a risk of suboptimal care and increased morbidity. The aim of this study was to elucidate the management of patients with a tracheostomy in situ at discharge from the ICU to the ward. MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed an electronic questionnaire survey among heads...
Pain is a major concern in all intensive care units (ICUs). The proper assessment and management of pain is one of the main goals of patient care in ICUs. Improper evaluation of pain and its over or under treatment can cause significant problems in the process of patient management in ICU. Since most ICU patients are unable to communicate correctly with the ICU team and explain their level of p...
highest rates of nosocomial infections are observed in intensive care units (ICUs), which are also the units in which the most critically ill patients are treated and the highest mortality rates are detected. The hospital-acquired infections that are seen in ICUs comprise almost 20-25% of total nosocomial infections. Antimicrobial treatment and invasive procedures, applied in ICUs, and also the...
