“…Infection happens in the clinical setting through a large number of pathways. In addition to contaminated equipment, bedding articles, or aerosols, staff also can spread infection (2). An epidemiological investigation implemented by WHO in fifty five hospitals of fourteen countries from four WHO Regions (Europe, Eastern Mediterranean, SouthEast Asia and Western Pacific) revealed an average of 8.7% of hospital patients had a nosocomial infection.…”

“…The INICC was founded in 1998 when selected hospitals from Latin America were invited to participate in a project measuring DA-HAIs using standardized definitions and methodology [7] Today, the INICC comprises a network of approximately 400 ICUs from 40 countries of Latin America, Asia, Africa and Europe [6].…”

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.

AbstrakInfeksi Luka Operasi (ILO) adalah salah satu komplikasi pembedahan yang paling umum terjadi di dunia, terutama di negara berkembang. Penggunaan antibiotik profilaksis sebelum operasi yang tepat dapat mengurangi ILO. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui profil penggunaan antibiotik dan kesesuaian penggunaan antibiotik pada seksio sesarea dengan peta kuman rumah sakit, Pedoman Penggunaan Antibiotik (PPAB) 2016, Formularium Rumah Sakit (RS), Formularium Nasional (Fornas), serta mengidentifikasi profil kuman penyebab ILO pada luka pasien. Metode penelitian menggunakan metode cohort prospective melalui penelusuran data terhadap rekam medik pasien yang menjalani tindakan operasi seksio sesarea di salah satu rumah sakit di Kabupaten Pasuruan periode Maret-Mei 2017, yaitu data penggunaan antibiotik (jenis antibiotik, dosis, waktu pemberian) dan data peta kuman bulan Januari-Maret 2017 terkait resistensi antibiotik. Analisis data berupa deskripsi profil penggunaan antibiotik, kesesuaian penggunaan antibiotik pada pasien seksio sesarea dengan pedoman, dan profil kuman penyebab ILO. Hasil yang diperoleh dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan antibiotik pada pasien seksio sesarea adalah ampisilin/sulbaktam 37%, sefuroksim 34%, seftriakson 24%, sefazolin 5%, metronidazol 1%, dan gentamisin 1%. Kesesuaian berdasarkan jenis antibiotik secara berturut-turut 5% berdasarkan PPAB, 100% berdasarkan Formularium RS dan 63% berdasarkan Fornas. Hal ini disebabkan oleh pola sensitivitas sefazolin berdasarkan peta kuman bulan Januari-Maret 2017 semakin menurun. Kesesuaian berdasarkan dosis antibiotik 100% sesuai berdasarkan PPAB, Formularium RS dan Fornas. Kesesuaian berdasarkan dosis antibiotik dan waktu pemberian 92% sesuai berdasarkan PPAB. Kuman yang ditemukan pada luka pasien adalah bakteri Hafnia alvei. Kata kunci: Antibiotik profilaksis, Infeksi Luka Operasi, seksio sesarea Evaluation of Antibiotics Use and Bacteria Profile of Caesarean Section at Regional General Hospital, PasuruanAbstract Surgical Site Infection (SSI) is one of the most common surgical complications in the world, especially in developing countries. Proper use of prophylaxis antibiotics in appropriate intraoperative procedures may reduce SSI. The aim of this study was to determine the profile of antibiotic used and the adherence of antibiotic in caesarean section to Hospital Guideline 2016, Hospital Formulary, National Formulary, bacteria profile that cause SSI on the patient's wound. Method used in this study was cohort prospective study design using record data of patients who underwent caesarean section surgery at Regional General Hospital of Pasuruan from March-May 2017, i.e. antibiotics usage data (type, dosage and time of delivery) and microbial pattern data about antibiotic resistance from January-March 2017. Data analysis was description of the profile of antibiotic use, adherence use of antibiotic of caesarean section inpatients to the guidelines, and profile of bacteria that cause SSI. The results showed that the use of antibiotics...
