Abstract:
Objective To explore the strategies of prevention and treatment of MRSA infection in ICU patients. Methods The clinical data of 6 patients with MRSA infection occurring at the same time in ICU were reviewed retrospectively. Results Vancomycin was given in 4 cases, 250mg twice daily, and teicoplanin was given in one case, 400mg once daily. MRSA cultures were negative in 5 cases after antibiotic treatment. Conclusions MRSA infection occurs frequently in ICU patients, and it spreads readily. Antibiotic treatment, isolation and bacteriological monitoring are very important measures for control of MRSA infection in ICU patients. [HS(1*2/3]
