“…These two indicators better reflect the activity of the hospital, whereas the proportion of S aureus resistant to methicillin is less reliable because it is too dependent on the patient population of the hospital and its policy for laboratory specimen collection. [29][30][31][32] In addition, French hospitals were slow to cal-culate incidence rates per admission and per patient-day; only 42% and 37% of them, respectively, calculated these denominators in 1995. Even if we observed an increase in the use of these two denominators in 1998, the proportion of S aureus resistant to methicillin remained the indicator most commonly used by French hospitals.…”

“…16,17 Así, destacó la frecuencia de infecciones relacionadas con la instalación de líneas vasculares (venoclisis y catéteres de silastic). A ese respecto, se han realizado diversos análisis y llevado a cabo acciones, siendo relevante el seguimiento de 700 venoclisis instaladas, con una frecuencia de 7.4%, cuyos factores de riesgo más importantes fueron la permanencia del catéter (teflón) por más de 48 horas (RM= 7.43), la destreza de la persona que colocó el catéter (RM= 5.23) y la existencia de una infección previa (RM= 3.72).…”

“…Frente a brotes de NIH, en especial en las UCI, se debe identificar la etiología en muestras clínicamente representativas y su patrón de re-sistencia, a fin de evaluar las estrategias de prevención [222][223][224]. No son útiles los cultivos de vigilancia sistemáticos a equipos de tratamiento respiratorio, pruebas de función pulmonar o anestesia inhalatoria 89 (EB).…”
