ObjectiveTo analyze epidemic characteristics of multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) in Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit (NSICU), and to analyze the status of infection and colonization, in order to provide reference for constituting intervention measures.
MethodsPatients who stayed in NSICU during January 2014 to April 2015 were actively monitored for the MDRO situation.
ResultsA total of 218 MDRO pathogens were isolated from 159 patients, and 42 cases were healthcare-associated infections (HAI) among 159 patients. The Acinetobacter baumannii was the most common one in the isolated acinetobacter. Colonization rate was positively correlated with the incidence of HAI. From January to December, there was a significantly increase in the colonization rate, but not in the incidence of HAI.
ConclusionThe main MDRO situation is colonization in NSICU. The obvious seasonal variation makes the HAI risk at different levels. So it is necessary that full-time and part-time HAI control staff be on alert, issue timely risk warning, and strengthen risk management. The Acinetobacter baumannii has become the number one target for HAI prevention and control in NSICU, so their apparent seasonal distribution is worthy of more attention, and strict implementation of HAI prevention and control measures should be carried out.
