The use of personal protective equipment for control of influenza among critical care clinicians: A survey study*
Crit Care Med. 2009 Feb 24. [Epub ahead of print] LinkOut
Daugherty EL, Perl TM, Needham DM, Rubinson L, Bilderback A, Rand CS.
From the Division of Pulmonary/Critical Care Medicine (ELD, DMN, AB, CSR), and Division of Infectious Diseases (TMP), Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD; and Division of Pulmonary/Critical Care Medicine (LR), Department of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, WA.
BACKGROUND:: Intensive care units (ICUs) are potential high-risk areas for transmission of viruses causing febrile respiratory illness, such as influenza. Health care-associated influenza is prevented through healthcare worker (HCW) vaccination and effective use of U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended infection control practices, including use of personal protective equipment (PPE). Although effective PPE use may significantly reduce health care-associated influenza transmission, PPE adherence among ICU HCWs for preventing nosocomial influenza infection has not been evaluated. OBJECTIVE:: To characterize ICU HCW behavior, knowledge, and attitudes about recommended precautions for the prevention of health care-associated influenza infections.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS:: A survey of 292 internal medicine housestaff, pulmonary/critical care fellows and faculty, nurses, and respiratory care professionals working in four ICUs in two hospitals in Baltimore, MD.
MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS:: Of those surveyed, 84% (n = 244) completed the survey. Only 55% of respondents were able to correctly identify adequate influenza PPE, and 61% reported high adherence (>80%) with PPE use for prevention of nosocomial influenza. In multivariable modeling, odds of high adherence varied by clinician type. Respondents who believed adherence was inconvenient had lower odds of high adherence (odds ratio 0.43, 95% confidence interval 0.22-0.82), and those reporting likelihood of being reprimanded for nonadherence were more likely to adhere (odds ratio 2.16, 95% confidence interval 1.13-4.11).
CONCLUSIONS:: ICU HCWs report suboptimal levels of influenza PPE adherence. This finding in a high-risk setting is particularly concerning, given that it likely overestimates actual behavior. Both suboptimal adherence levels and significant PPE knowledge gaps indicate that ICU HCWs may be at a substantial risk of developing and/or transmitting nosocomial respiratory viral infection. Improving respiratory virus infection control will likely require closing knowledge gaps and changing organizational factors that influence behavior.PMID: 19242326 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The electronic medical record as a tool for infection surveillance: Successful automation of device-days.
Am J Infect Control. 2009 Mar 6. [Epub ahead of print] LinkOut
The electronic medical record as a tool for infection surveillance: Successful automation of device-days.
Wright MO, Fisher A, John M, Reynolds K, Peterson LR, Robicsek A.
Department of Infection Control, NorthShore University HealthSystem, Evanston, IL.
BACKGROUND: Manual collection of central venous catheter, ventilator, and indwelling urinary catheter device-days is time-consuming, often restricted to intensive care units (ICU) and prone to error.
METHODS: We describe the use of an electronic medical record to extract existing clinical documentation of invasive devices. This allowed automated device-days calculations for device-associated infection surveillance in an acute care setting.
RESULTS: The automated system had high sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values (>0.90) compared with chart review. The system is not restricted to ICUs and reduces surveillance efforts by a conservative estimate of over 3.5 work-weeks per year in our setting. Eighty percent of urinary catheter days and 50% of central venous catheter-days occurred outside the ICU.
CONCLUSION: Device-days may be automatically extracted from an existing electronic medical record with a higher degree of accuracy than manual collection while saving valuable personnel resources.PMID: 19269712 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Nosocomial infection surveillance and control: current situation in Spanish hospitals.
1: J Hosp Infect. 2009 Mar 7. [Epub ahead of print] LinkOut
Sánchez-Payá J, Bischofberger C, Lizan M, Lozano J, Platón EM, Navarro J, Paz J, Vicente JA.
We studied healthcare-associated infection (HCAI) surveillance and control programmes in Spanish hospitals in 2006 and the human resources and materials used. A questionnaire on the structure, organisation and resources for HCAI surveillance and control was sent to all hospitals registered in the 2005 National Catalogue of Hospitals. A total of 237 hospitals (29.8%) responded, representing 55.9% of the beds included in the catalogue. Some 92% of hospitals had a surveillance and control programme, although 29.9% had had it for less than five years. Only 17.4% of hospitals had one infection control nurse per 250 beds, and only 36.2% had one infection control doctor per 500 beds. Surveillance is the main activity of those responsible for surveillance and control, and the most widely used systems are reviews of microbiology laboratory test results and studies of outbreaks, prevalence surveys, the incidence of certain procedures and of infection in critical care areas. Collaboration in multicentre studies is variable. EPINE, the prevalence survey of nosocomial infections in Spain, is performed annually in 80.5% of centres; ENVIN-UCI, a study of the incidence of infection in critically ill patients, is carried out in 24.8%, and the European study of the incidence of surgical infection, HELICS, in 22.7%. Priority should be given to improving specialised human resources and establishing common surveillance and control systems.
