Abstract

Background and Design: In surgical neonatal intensive care units nosocomial infections and septicemia are still the leading cause of neonatal mortality. In our study 489 cases extending a period of 5 years was investigated retrospectively. Results: 35.5% had clinical septicemia and in this group 76% had hemoculture positive septicemia. The mortality rate was 53%. In the first years, Enterobacteriaceae, Coagulase negative Staphylococci, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia sp. and Candida sp. are mostly encountered but in recent years MRSA, Pseudomonas sp, Enterobacter sp. are most common microorganisms. Although antibiotic resistance in some resistant microorganism are seen more frequently, in our series we had a remarkable decrease in septicemia and related mortality. Conclusion: As the intense use of modern technology in neonatal surgical intensive care units improved the fight against neonatal septicemia, neonatal mortality is still due to nosocomial infections and septicemia.

Özet

Cerrahi yeni doğan yoğun bakım ünitelerinde, nozokomiyal enfeksiyonlar ve sepsis halen başta gelen mortalite nedenidir. Bu çalışmada 5 yıllık süre içinde ünitemizde takip edilen 489 olgu sepsis açısından geriye dönük olarak değerlendirildi. Olguların % 35,5.inde sepsis saptandı. Bu olguların %76'sınde kan kültürlerinde etken tespit edildi. Mortalite %53 olarak bulundu. İnceleme dönemi başlangıcında yoğun bakımda en sık görülen ve mortaliteye sebep olan mikroorganizmalar Enterobacter sp, koagülaz negatif stafilokoklar (KNS), Stenotrophomonas maltophilia ve Candida sp. iken, son yıllarda bu flora değişerek MRSA, Pseudomonas ve Enterobacter cinsi bakteriler ön plana çıkmıştır. Antibiyotiklere direnç gösteren ve mücadelesi daha zor mikroorganizmaların üremesine karşın, serimizdeki klinik ve kültür pozitif sepsisli olguların sayısında ve mortalite oranlarında yıllar içinde anlamlı azalma kaydedilmiştir. Yeni doğan cerrahisindeki ve cerrahi yoğun bakım ünitelerindeki teknik gelişmelere paralel olarak enfeksiyonla mücadelede de ciddi gelişmeler kaydedilmesine rağmen kliniğimizde yeni doğan mortalitesinin sebeplerinin başında halen hastane enfeksiyonları ve sepsisin geldiği görüldü.
