Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To investigate and analyze the cause of the cross infection of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) in ICU patients,and to apporach its preventive and control measures.METHODS Eiological inspection and sanitary monitoring have been done in ICU where there were two MRSA patients from June 6th,2008 to August 1st,2008.RESULTS MRSA has been detected on the hands of the ICU medical staff,on the bed-desks,on the switches of the vacuum extractor and gas supply unit on the wall,and in the NS for inhaling sputum.The separation rate were 37.5%,20.0%,54.5%,37.5%,87.5%.CONCLUSIONS ICU patients are prone to be infected with MRSA,which has a strong drug resistance and the infection is difficult to be treated.The cross infection can be prevented and controlled by rational administration,sterile operation and insulation.
