Device‐associated multidrug‐resistant bacteria surveillance in critically ill children: 10 years of experience

Abstract: Aim: Multidrug-resistant bacterial infections are a public health problem worldwide. However, most of the information available refers to adults. The main objectives were to determine the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes for device-associated infections, especially those involving multidrug-resistant bacteria. Methods: This is a prospective, observational study. Children aged ≥1 month and <18 years admitted to the paediatric intensive care unit from 2008 to 2017, with a device-associated infection microbi… Show more

“…Moreover, patients with VAP were admitted due to a cardiovascular disease in the 20% of the cases, which was higher than in patients with CAP. The vulnerability of patients with cardiovascular diseases has been reported in other studies 27 , as they are more susceptible to developing VAP and, additionally, nosocomial infections in these patients are an important cause of morbidity and mortality. In some studies performed on adults, they even propose decontamination or pre-emptive antibiotic therapy in order to prevent the development of VAP 28,29 .…”

Dentre elas, o surgimento de bactérias MR. (7,8) Pacientes internados em UTI apresentam-se mais vulneráveis, pois, além do uso de antimicrobianos e o uso de dispositivos invasivos, 5 8) os medicamentos empregados podem causar inibição da resposta imunológica, (9) sendo as UTIs consideradas o epicentro da resistência aos antibióticos. ( ) As crianças são ainda mais vulneráveis, pois seu sistema imunológico não está totalmente desenvolvido.…”
