Neonatal nosocomial infections

Abstract: ResumoObjetivos: realizar revisão sobre infecções hospitalares neonatais, salientando aspectos dos mecanismos de colonização, defesa imunológica e infecção no recém-nascido, dos modos de transmissão, da epidemiologia e da vigilância e prevenção destas infecções. Revisar, ainda, particularidades sobre agentes etiológicos e recomendações preventivas.Métodos: busca eletrônica, nos bancos de dados Medline e LILACS, de artigos publicados nos últimos 10 anos, selecionandose aqueles que trouxessem informações atuais … Show more

“…(12) Therefore, hand hygiene is critical, but potentially effective practices that pertain to nutrition, skin care, respiratory and venous access care, minimal handling and accurate diagnoses should also be considered. (13)(14)(15) This study aims to assess the prevalence factors and associated etiologies for late-onset sepsis in preterm neonates in a neonatal intensive care unit.…”

“…25 Hygiene could be improved by providing individual physical examination equipment (stethoscopes and thermometers) for each neonate, or cleaning the equipment with alcohol-based antiseptics before and after use, cleaning neonatal beds or incubators daily, strict limitation on numbers of visitors and the visitation schedule, as well as good hand hygiene. 31 A limitation of our study was the possibility of inaccuracy in determining gestational age, which was mainly based on the maternal last menstrual period. Actually, data on gestational age (preterm and non-preterm) of LBW infants were available, but we decided to not use it in the survival analysis due to concerns of inaccuracy.…”

“…Sepsis may have been caused by LBW infants' higher susceptibility to infection. 31 Other contributing factors might include inadequate hygiene and infection control, such as neonatal ward hygiene, hand hygiene, and the presence of vectors (e.g., cats, mice, and flies). 25 Hygiene could be improved by providing individual physical examination equipment (stethoscopes and thermometers) for each neonate, or cleaning the equipment with alcohol-based antiseptics before and after use, cleaning neonatal beds or incubators daily, strict limitation on numbers of visitors and the visitation schedule, as well as good hand hygiene.…”

“…Para tanto, é necessário que se intervenha nos fatores extrínsecos ao prematuro extremo que, sabidamente, também são fortemente associados à ocorrência de infecções nosocomiais. As medidas necessárias, nas quais a higienização das mãos ocupa posição central 61 , foram resumidas na Tabela 4 e revisadas em outros artigos 62,63 .…”
