Abstract

N osocomial sepsis is still an important problem in neonatal intensive care units. To take essential precautions are necessary to decline in sepsis in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of preventive measures to get decline in late onset neonatal sepsis incidence. The study consists of two periods. Period-1 was pre-educationai era and period-2 was post-educational era. Annual patients number were similar in P1 and P2. A total of 75 culture-proved septic attacks were observed in 58 NICU patients. Sixty-two percent of the all septic infants, were VLBW infants and overall sepsis incidence in VLBW infants was 26.5% (36/136 VLBW infant). Infection per 1000-patient days was decreased from 13 to 6.9 in P2. Total mortality and sepsis-related mortality were also declined significantly in the second period (p

Özet

N ozokomiyal sepsis yenidoğan yoğun bakım üniteleri için halen önemli bir sorundur. Çok düşük doğum ağırlıklı bebeklerde sepsisi azaltmak için gerekli tedbirleri almak gereklidir. Çalışmanın amacı koruyucu tedbirlerin nozokomiyal sepsis insidansının azalmasındaki etkinliğini değerlendirmektir. Çalışma iki döneme ayrılmıştır. Birinci dönem eğitim öncesi, ikinci dönem eğitim sonrası dönemdir. Yıllık hasta sayısı her iki dönemde benzerdir. Yenidoğan ünitesinde toplam 58 hastada 75 kültür kanıtlı septik atak gözlenmiştir. Tüm septik bebeklerin %62'si çok düşük doğum ağırlıklı bebektir ve bu bebeklerdeki sepsiş|insidansı %26.5 (36/136) olarak belirlenmiştir. Çok düşük doğum ağırlıklı bebeklerde sepsis sıklığı 1000 hasta günü başına 13'den 6.9'a gerilemiştir. Total mortalite ve sepsis ilişkili mortalite ikinci dönemde belirgin olarak azalmıştır. Sepsis etkeni çoğunlukla (%65) gram pozitif mikroorganizmalar olarak belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, nozokomiyal sepsisi azaltmak için, göevli personelin eğitimi ve diğer koruyucu tedbirler çok önemlidir. Nozokomiyal sepsisin daha da azaltılabilmesi için hasta / hemşire oranı kabul edilebilir oranlara indirilmelidir.
