Aim: Healthcare-associated infections are a major source of concern in all areas of hospitals, particularly in intensive care units. The goal of our study was to look at the current situation and evaluate the measures that can be taken based on the data obtained by examining the rates and factors of healthcare-associated infections in the general intensive care units of our hospital over a one-year period. Materials and Methods: Between January 2020 and December 2020, 665 patients who were followed up and treated in the general intensive care unit of Meram State Hospital were followed up in terms of healthcare-associated infections, and their outcomes were evaluated. Results: 5354 hospitalization days of 665 patients who were followed up in the general intensive care units for a year were evaluated, and it was determined that 53 of the patients developed healthcare-associated infections. Twenty-two (41.5%) of patients with healthcare-associated infections were female, while 31 (58.5%) were male. It was discovered that the patients' mean age was 71,7±14 (19-94). The infection rate was calculated to be 5.86 and the density to be 7.28. Furthermore, the rates of invasive device-associated nosocomial infection are as follows: 1.02 for central line-associated bloodstream infections, 0.56 for catheter-associated urinary tract infections, and 0 for ventilator-associated pneumonia. Conclusion: Healthcare-associated infections are a significant cause of mortality and morbidity in intensive care units. Due to the improvement in medical care and the increase in life expectancy in parallel with this, effective surveillance practices are of critical importance.
The war of 1950-1953 in Korea was the first war by the United Nations against an aggressive state in the twentieth century. The war was also the most significant conflict to emerge at the beginning of the Cold War and it leaded to be decisive the route of the Cold War. The Korean War was not only considerable reflection of the United States and the Soviet Union confrontation, but also they avoided direct combat each other in this conflict. This war shaped again how the West and the East dealt with each other and also caused part of a revolution in war in history. Indeed, without the Korean war, no other possible event could have created the impact of Korea on diplomatic and military options in world politics. The Korean war has created a situation where it avoided an important perceived war threat that reveals high-level conflicts and policies that it was associated with the cold war. In this context, this paper will examine the main military, diplomatic and political issues of the Korean War. The aim of this paper is to explore the characteristics and nature of Korean War, and also to examine why the Korean War was the birthplace of doctrine of limited war at beginning of the Cold War. In this way, it can be understood why the Korean war strongly influenced world politics, and how it created most of the features of the cold war.
