OBJECTIVE To investigate the present situation of nosocomial infection and to provide scientific data for surveillance of nosocomial infection.METHODS The survey form of personal case was filled by adopting the method of combining clinical investigation and consulting inpatients medical records.RESULTS The rate of nosocomial infection was 4.04%;infection sites existed mainly in respiratory tract,urinary tract and skin and soft tissue;the application rate of antibiotics was 49.69% at the day of investigation.CONCLUSIONS The present infection rate survey can mainly help doctors to understand the situation of nosocomial infection.Rational use of antibiotics should be emphasized.

Objective To analyze the present situation of the dental instrument cleaning and disinfection in Hainan province and to explore the management mode of dental instrument cleaning and disinfection which is suitable for the provincial situation .Meth-ods By adopting the stratified random sampling method according to the hospital grades ,24 hospitals in Hainan province were per-formed the questionnaire survey on the cleaning mode of oral instruments ,layout of cleaning and disinfection room ,cleaning method and facilities ,protection measures and training of cleaning staff .Results 14 hospitals (58 .33% ) had the sterilization and supply center for conducting the centralized processing on the dental instruments .The tertiary hospitals and the second-grade hospitals had the independent cleaning and disinfection rooms with the rational layout and professional cleaning staff ;the safeguard facilities had the application in place ,the training of the related cleaning and disinfection work and the cleaning process conformed the require-ment of the standards .Among 10 first-grade and below hospitals ,only 1 hospital(10 .00% ) had the rational layout of cleaning and disinfection rooms ;3 hospitals(30 .00% ) had the professional cleaning staff ;the related training of the cleaning staff was not basi-cally carried out and the safeguard was not in place ,most of the cleaning and disinfection instruments and the cleaning process were not in accordance with the requirements .The qualification rates of instruments cleaning and disinfection in different grades of hospi-tals by the ATP bioluminescence assay were 100 .00% ,90 .00% and 80 .00% .Conclusion The existing problems are general and prominent in the hospitals of the first-grade and below .It is suggested that the regionalized disinfection and supply management mode is implemented for maximally realizing the optimized resource configuration in the disinfection and supply center .

Objective To understand the current situation and existing problems in the training of healthcare-asso-ciated infection(HAI)management,and provide scientific basis for strengthening the management of HAI preven-tion and control system.Methods A questionnaire survey was adopted to investigate situation of training on HAI in 15 provincial-level HAI training agencies in China during the past 30 years,and basic condition of training on HAI management in recent 5 years.Results Among 15 provincial-level training agencies,66.67%(n=10)were respon-sible by HAI management quality control centers,80.00% have already conducted training in each city,53.33%carried out training for 10 to 20 times,33.34% performed training for ≤2 times per year.Of 33 728 trainees in 2011-2015,41.30% were 41-50 years old,61.82% were nursing staff,50.56% had bachelor degree,43.96%were with the intermediate professional title.Most trainers were HAI prevention and control experts in their respec-tive province,accounting for 68.07%,the curriculums were mainly designed on professional course,and only 26.78% were involved in management.Conclusion Professional structure of HAI management personnel is not reasonable,faculty is imbalance,knowledge update is lacking,and HAI training and education system need to be improved further.

Background: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) strategies in COVID-19 patients differ from those in patients suffering from cardiogenic cardiac arrest. During CPR, both healthcare and non-healthcare workers who provide resuscitation are at risk of infection. The Working Group for Expert Consensus on Prevention and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation for Cardiac Arrest in COVID-19 has developed this Chinese Expert Consensus to guide clinical practice of CPR in COVID-19 patients. Main recommendations: 1) A medical team should be assigned to evaluate severe and critical COVID-19 for early monitoring of cardiac-arrest warning signs. 2) Psychological counseling and treatment are highly recommended, since sympathetic and vagal abnormalities induced by psychological stress from the COVID-19 pandemic can induce cardiac arrest. 3) Healthcare workers should wear personal protective equipment (PPE). 4) Mouth-to-mouth ventilation should be avoided on patients suspected of having or diagnosed with COVID-19. 5) Hands-only chest compression and mechanical chest compression are recommended. 6) Tracheal-intubation procedures should be optimized and tracheal-intubation strategies should be implemented early. 7) CPR should be provided for 20-30 min. 8) Various factors should be taken into consideration such as the interests of patients and family members, ethics, transmission risks, and laws and regulations governing infectious disease control. Changes in management: The following changes or modifications to CPR strategy in COVID-19 patients are proposed: 1) Healthcare workers should wear PPE. 2) Hands-only chest compression and mechanical chest compression can be implemented to reduce or avoid the spread of viruses by aerosols. 3) Both the benefits to patients and the risk of infection should be considered. 4) Hhealthcare workers should be fully aware of and trained in CPR strategies and procedures specifically for patients with COVID-19.
