Chinese Journal of Infection Control 2014;(4):229-231,241
Objective To evaluate the effect of antimicrobial management guideline on the daily antimicrobial use rate in a general hospital.Methods An one-day point-prevalence survey on antimicrobial use in hospitalized patients was conducted in 2010,2011,and 2012 by means of cross-sectional investigation method.Results The daily utiliza-tion rate of antimicrobial agents in 2010,2011,and 2012 was 65.40% ,42.09% and 26.74% respectively,the rate of the submission of specimens for bacterial culture was 22.53% ,35.74% and 41.74% respectively(χ2 trend= 266.42, 29.02,respectively,bothP<0.01). The utilization rate of single drug was 83.72% ,80.27% and 93.41% respec-tively. the utilization rate of both two-drug and more than three-drug combination kept a downward tendency. The utilization rate of antimicrobial agents in several departments(digestive internal medicine,cardiovascular,hematolog-ical tumor,neurology,general surgery,orthopedics,obstetrics,pediatrics,and ophthalmology)showed a decreasing tendency(all P<0 .0 1 ).Conclusion The implementation of antimicrobial management guideline has remarkably re-duced the daily antimicrobial use rate,and increased etiological detection rate for therapeutic antimicrobial use.

Objective To investigate the efficiency of chitosan hemostatic dressing combined radial artery hemostasis device in patients after transradial coronary intervention.Method Six hundred consecutive patients after transradial coronary intervention were selected and randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group according to the hospital number,there were 300 cases in each group.Single pneumatic tourniquet was used in the control group,while the chitosan hemostatic dressing combined with pneumatic tourniquet was used in the experimental group.Hemostasis consumption time,incidence of bleeding,ecchymosis and radial arterial occlusion were compared between two groups.Results There was no significant difference in the incidence of skin ecchymosis between two groups,P > 0.05.The hemostasis consumption time and the incidence of bleeding,early radial arterial occlusion and chronic radial arterial occlusion were (127.6± 33.0) min,7.0%(21/300),5.7%(17/300),4.0%(12/300) in the experimental group and (181.6± 32.2) min,20.0%(60/300),11.7%(35/300),9.0%(27/300) in the control group,t or x2 values were 20.258,21.708,6.822,6.170 respectively,and there were significant differences,P<0.01 or <0.05.Conclusion In patients after transradial coronary intervention,the application of chitosan hemostatic dressing combined with pneumatic tourniquet is safer and more effective than using pneumatic tourniquet alone.
