The Evaluation of Nasocomial Infections and Antibiotic Resistance in Anesthesia Intensive Care

Purpose: Nasocomial infections are an important cause of mortality and morbidity in intensive care units. The study was performed to determine the nasocomial infection rate, infection dissosiation to systems, responsible agents and antibiotic sensitivity in Anesthesia Intensive Care Unit of our hospital. Material and Methods: 247 patients of total 1374 patients were evaluated, retrospectively, in Anesthesia ICU between January 2004- December 2008. Results: The nasocomial infection rate of Anesthesia Intensive Care Unit was %17,9. Nasocomial pnomonia was the most common infection with %41. The most common isolated microorganisms were Acinetobacter Baumanii, Pseudomanas Aeroginosa, Escherichia Coli, Staphylococcus Aureus, Coagulase negative staphylococcus and Klebsiella Pnomonia - Carbapenem resistance A. Baumanii and gram negative microorganism antibiotic resistance were significantly increased. Conclusion: Rational use of antibiotics and paying attention to infection control rules are important factors for nasocomial infections caused by resistance microorganisms in ICU.
