Article Synopsis
- Environmental contamination in hospitals can lead to infections caused by multi-drug resistant organisms (MDRO), prompting a study on the effectiveness of hybrid hydrogen peroxide™ (HHP™) fogging in reducing bioburden in critical care patient rooms.
- The study involved sampling for contamination before and after cleaning practices, including the use of HHP fogging, revealing a significant 98% reduction in aerobic colony counts (ACC) and elimination of harmful bacteria like MRSA and Pseudomonas aeruginosa after fogging.
- Results suggest that HHP fogging is a highly effective method for cleaning hospital surfaces, potentially improving infection control protocols in critical care settings.
The objective of this pilot study was to describe effectiveness of an evidence-based guideline designed to prevent catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CA-UTI) in reducing CA-UTI in the burn-injured patient population. The study used a pre- and post-bundle implementation comparison design. Inclusion criteria included burn-injured patients of all ages with an indwelling urinary catheter.
