Abstract

Objective: In this study, we aimed to retrospectively investigate the frequency of healthcare-associated infections, infection sites, culture proven microorganisms and antibiotic resistance properties registered in the surveillance system, in our Pediatric Intensive Care Unit over the past five years. Material and Methods: The data of healthcare-associated infections detected in patients in our 12-bed pediatric intensive care unit, which are all third-level, were collected from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2016 retrospectively. Infection rate and density were made. Culture proven microorganisms and antibiotic resistance properties were recorded. Results: The data of 2545 patients who were followed in the pediatric intensive care unit during the study period were collected. Mortality rate was 9%. The total number of in patient days was 20.696. The median age of the patients was 3 years (min: 2 months, max: 18 years). The total number of patients with health care-associated infection was 60, the infection rate was 2.36 and infection density was 2.89. Laboratory-proven bloodstream infection was detected in 15 patients and the rate of infection was 0.59 and the density was 0.72. In seven patients, central venous catheter-related bloodstream infection was observed and the rate of infection was 0.27 and the density was 0.33. In nine patients, catheter-related urinary tract infection was detected and the rate of infection was 0.35 and the density was 0.43. Ventilator-associated pneumonia was observed in 30 patients and the rate of infection was 1.18 and the density was 1.44. Isolated microorganisms were as follows: Pseudomonas aeruginosa in 17 cases, Acinetobacter baumannii in 14 cases, Klebsiella pneumoniae in 9 cases, Serratia marcescens in 5 cases, Escherichia coli in 4 cases, Candida albicans in 4 cases, coagulase negative staphylococcus in 2 cases, Candida parapsilosis in 2 cases, Enterococcus faecalis in 1 case, Proteus mirabilis in 1 case and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in 1 case. Conclusion: Intensive care units have the highest rates of antibiotic use in our country and around the world. Antibiotic usage is increasing day by day in pediatric intensive care units. Regional and multicenter studies regarding child intensive care units should be conducted to raise awareness about healthcare-associated infections.

Özet

Giriş: Bu çalışmada Çocuk Yoğun Bakım ünitemizde son beş yılda sürveyans sisteminde kayıtlı hastane enfeksiyonlarının sıklığı, enfek-siyon alanları, kültürlerde üretilen mikroorganizmalar ve antibiyotik direnç özelliklerinin geriye dönük olarak incelenmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tamamı üçüncü basamak olan 12 yataklı çocuk yoğun bakım ünitemizde 1 Ocak 2012-31 Aralık 2016 döneminde yatan hastalarda tespit edilen hastane enfeksiyonlarının verileri geriye dönük olarak toplandı. Enfeksiyon hızı ve dansite hesaplamaları yapıldı. Kültür-lerde üretilen mikroorganizmalar ve antibiyotik direnç özellikleri kayde-dildi. Bulgular: Çalışma periyodu boyunca çocuk yoğun bakıma yatırılarak te-davi edilmiş olan 2545 hastanın verileri toplandı. Mortalite oranı %9 idi. Yatan hasta gün sayısı 20.696 idi. Hastaların yaşları ortanca 3 yaş (min: 2 ay, maks: 18 yaş) idi. Toplam hastane enfeksiyonu olan hasta sayısı 60, enfeksiyon hızı 2.36 ve enfeksiyon dansitesi 2.89 idi. Laboratuvar ile ka-nıtlanmış kan dolaşımı enfeksiyonu 15 hastada saptandı ve enfeksiyon hızı 0.59, dansitesi 0.72 olarak hesaplandı. Yedi hastada santral venöz katater ilişkili kan akımı enfeksiyonu gözlenmişti ve enfeksiyon hızı 0.27, dansitesi 0.33 bulunmuştu. Dokuz hastada kateter ilişkili üriner sistem enfeksiyonu saptanmıştı ve enfeksiyon hızı 0.35, dansitesi 0.43 olarak hesaplanmıştı. Otuz hastada ventilatör ilişkili pnömoni gözlenmişti ve enfeksiyon hızı 1.18, dansitesi 1.44 bulunmuştu. Kültürde üretilen mik-roorganizmalar; 17 olguda Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 14 olguda Acine-tobacter baumannii, 9 olguda Klebsiella pneumoniae, 5 olguda Serratia marcescens, 4 olguda Escherichia coli, 4 olguda Candida albicans, iki olguda koagülaz-negatif stafilokok, iki olguda Candida parapsilosis, birer olguda da Enterococcus faecalis, Proteus mirabilis ve Stenotrophomonas maltophilia idi. Sonuç: Yoğun bakımlar ülkemizde ve dünyada antibiyotik kullanım oranları en yüksek olan servislerdir ve çocuk yoğun bakımlarda da an-tibiyotik kullanımı gün geçtikçe artmaktadır. Çocuk yoğun bakım üni-telerine yönelik bölgesel ve çok merkezli güncel çalışmalar yapılarak hastane enfeksiyonları hakkında farkındalık arttırılmalıdır.
