Abstract

Objective: To determine the hospital infections during six years in physical medicine and rehabilitation clinic. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study was performed via the records of Infection Control Committee and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic of the University. Results: Twelve patients with hospital infections were determined. The diagnosis of the patients were spinal cord injury (7/12, 58.3%) hemiplegia (4/12, 33.3%), and transvers myelitis (1/12, 8.3%). The most common hospital infections were urinary system infections, soft tissue infections, pneumonia, and bacteremia, with a prevalence of 6 (%50), 3 (25%), 2 (16.7%), and 1 (8.3%), respectively. Conclusion: It was found that the prevalence of hospital infections determined in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic can be omitted in the respect of surveillance. In conclusion, it seems acceptable that local or unitary surveillance studies can be excluded in physical medicine and rehabilitation clinics without extensive rehabilitation services and adequate staff.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada Fiziksel Tıp ve Rehabilitasyon (FTR) servisinde altı yıl boyunca saptanan hastane enfeksiyonlarını ve özelliklerini saptamak amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma retrospektif olarak, Enfeksiyon Kontrol Komitesi ve Fiziksel Tıp ve Rehabilitasyon Kliniği’nin altı yıllık kayıtları incelenerek yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışma sonunda toplam olarak 12 hastada hastane enfeksiyon saptanmıştır. Hastaların primer tanıları; 7 (%58.3) spinal kord yaralanması, 4 (%33.3) hemipleji ve 1 (%8.3) transvers myelit şeklindeydi. En sık saptanan hastane enfeksiyonları üriner sistem, yumuşak doku, pnömoni ve bakteriyemi olup, sırayla 6 (%50), 3 (%25), 2 (%16.7) ve 1 (%8.3) oranında idiler. Sonuç: Çalışmanın kapsadığı altı yıllık dönemde FTR servisinde saptanan hastane enfeksiyonları sürveyans açısından ihmal edilebilir düzeyde bulundu. Kapsamlı rehabilitasyon ünitesi bulunmayan ve personel kısıtlılığı olan hastanelerde bölgeye/birime yönelik sürveyans yapılması FTR servislerinin bunun dışında tutulması kabul edilebilir görünmektedir.
