“…In several high-income countries, deviceassociated health care-associated infection (DA-HAI) surveillance in the intensive care unit (ICU) plays a substantial role in infection control [1]. Surveillance was reported as an efficacious tool to reduce DAHAIs by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) "Study of the Efficacy of Nosocomial Infection Control (SENIC Project)" [2].…”

Introduction: This study aimed to determine the rate of device-associated, health care-associated infection (DA-HAI), the excess in length of stay, the mortality, and the hand hygiene compliance in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and a neonatal ICU (NICU) in a hospital member of the International Infection Control Consortium (INICC) in El Salvador. Methodology: A prospective cohort, active DA-HAI surveillance study was conducted on patients admitted in the pediatric and neonatal ICUs from January 2007 to November 2009. The protocol and methodology implemented were developed by INICC. Data were collected in the participating ICUs, and analyzed at INICC headquarters by proprietary software. DA-HAI rates were recorded by applying the definitions of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Healthcare Safety Network. Results: Of 1,145 patients hospitalized in the PICU for 9,517 days, 177 acquired DA-HAIs (overall rate 15.5%), and 18.6 DA-HAIs per 1,000 ICU-days. Furthermore, 1,270 patients hospitalized in the NICU for 30,663 days acquired 302 DA-HAIs (overall rate 23.8%), and 9.8 DA-HAIs per 1,000 ICU-days. The central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLA-BSI) rates in the NICU and PICU were 9.9 and 10.0 per 1,000 catheter-days respectively. The ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) rate was 16.1 per 1,000 ventilator-days in the NICU and 12.1 in the PICU.The catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) rate was 5.8 per 1,000 catheter-days in the PICU. Conclusions: DA-HAI rates in the PICU and NICU of our hospital were higher than international standards; infection control programs including surveillance and antibiotic policies must be a priority in El Salvador.

“…Combining process and outcome results can enable an organization to effectively target prevention and control strategies. 11 Furthermore, central line and ventilator bundles 26 27 were also initiated in intensive care units (i.e., MSICU, CICU and burns Unit) in May 2010 paralleled with an ongoing process surveillance to monitor and promote bundles compliance. Moreover, the HCAI rates were communicated to all relevant key-stakeholders periodically (i.e., monthly).…”

Prior to April 2008, there was only total house surveillance. In total (or whole house) surveillance, all types of health care-associated infections (HCAIs) are monitored in the entire organization of Mafraq Hospital. overall infection rates were not adjusted for specific infection or injury risks. The trends were not measured over time; no comparisons were made between groups, either interhospital or intrahospital, nor was benchmarking done. A thorough facility-wide infection prevention and control risk assessment was performed in March 2008 by the only certified, newly employed infection preventionist.

“…Se ha estimado que en los niños la frecuencia de dolor y eritema es de 13,3%, edema 3,3%, pus 2% e induración 1,8 % 13 . Se informa en hospitales de USA una incidencia de ITS asociada a PICC en neonatos de 11,6% (DI 7,1 x 1 000 d/c), y en CNT en miembros inferiores de 9,3% (DI 4,8 x 1 000 d/c) 13 ; en unidades de pediatría, la densidad de incidencia de ITS asociada a CVCs temporales de 4,6 x 1 000 d/c) 14 . En Colombia las tasas de ITS son de 11 x 1 000 d/c 15 , en neonatos 3,5% y en pacientes pediátricos 2,4% 12 .…”

“…Estudios refi eren que en neonatos y niños de todas las edades los gérmenes más frecuentes asociados a la ITS son Staphylococcus coagulasa (-) 69%, y hasta un 93% de las especies son meticillin resistentes (SMR); otros Gram (+) como S. aureus y Enterococcus (9%), bacilos Gram negativos (19%) con predominio de Enterobacter, Pseudomonas, Klebsiella y Serratia marcescens, y Candida spp (3%) 11,13,14,17 . También se observó predominio en la colonización de Staphylococcus coagulasa (-), se aislaron también Enterobacteriaceas, especies de Cándida, bacilos no fermentadores, S. aureus y Enterococcus.…”
