Abstract: Objective To discuss the features of nosocomial infection in patients with multiple trauma in intensive care unit and the preventive measures. Method The nosocomial infections occurred in 137 patients with multiple trauma were analyzed including site of infection, pathogenic organisms and bacterial strains. Results The rate of nosocomial infection was 62.8%, mainly the lower respiratory tract infection and wound infection, the G-negative bacteria infection accounted for 67.8%, mostly Escherichia Coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and A cinctobacter baumanni I. The G-positive bacteria infection accounted for 32.2%, mainly Staphylococcus aureus and Coagulase negative staphylococcus. The positive detection rates of Klebsiella and pseudomonas aeruginosa were increasing year afer year. Conclusions The incidence of nosocomial infection in patients with multiple trauma is high, suggesting some appropriate preventive measures should be taken to reduce the rate of infection.
