Article Synopsis
- The study highlights that ICU patients experience significantly more nosocomial infections compared to those in non-ICU settings, with increased risks due to advanced medical technologies.
- Conducted at Kenézy Hospital, the research involved monitoring 1490 patients over two years, identifying a total of 194 infections, primarily respiratory tract infections, making up 44.3% of cases.
- The findings emphasize the importance of nosocomial infection surveillance and a collaborative approach among healthcare professionals, noting that the patient-to-nurse ratio is a critical factor influencing infection rates in ICUs.
Introduction: The prevention of the spread of multiresistant microorganisms, especially methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is the main problem of epidemiology in our era. Kenézy Hospital was among the firsts to deal with the laboratory diagnosis of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection in Hungary, looking for the possibilities to isolate, and detect methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in patients (colonised and infected), and to provide for them proper treatment and complex management.
Aims: The authors aimed to help the work of infection control professionals by sharing their experience and through the analysis of their data.
