Objective: To reduce the incidence density of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI), and catheter-associated urinary tract (CAUTI) in intensive care unit (ICU) using Improvement Science method. Methods: This was a single-center retrospective cohort study. A collaborative quality improvement team developed implemented local changes to HAI-related processes protocols. Pre-intervention, intervention, post-intervention periods were...
Introduction Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a recognized trigger of systemic inflammatory response, usually related to postoperative acute lung injury (ALI).As an attempt dampen steroids have been perioperatively administered patients.Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), regulator the endotoxin receptor, implicated in pathogenesis ALI.We previously detected peak circulating levels MIF, 6 hours post CPB.Experimental data shown that may induce MIF secretion by...
Central venous catheters (CVC) are frequently used in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting. A wide number of strategies have been studied to prevent colonization and infection related CVC. One them is use antimicrobial-impregnated catheters, but a positive effect has shown primarily for triple-lumen catheters.
