الوصف: | Background: Various microorganisms predominant in hospitals causes nosocomial infections (NIs) making patients in Surgical intensive care units (SICU) prone to NI. Aim: To study the prevalence, antibiotic and microbiological sensitivity, and resistance profiles, as well as the influence of NI in ICU, stay and mortality in patients admitted to our hospital's SICU. Materials and Methods:Over a period of a year, a retrospective investigation of all surgical ICU patients was performed. All patients who suffered withNIwere included in the study. The incidence of NI, their sites, and the bacteria that cause them have all been recognized. The grown bacteria's antibiotic sensitivity pattern was discovered. By comparing this group of patients with NIto a group of patients without NI in terms of age, gender, and clinical diagnosis, the impact of NIon ICU duration and death was assessed. Results:During the trial, 80 of the 235 patients who were admitted to ICU developed NIand were selected. The control group consisted of 80 patients who matched the research group's participants. In our research, 34.04% of patients had NI. The most prevalent nosocomial infection was skin and soft tissue infections (37.89%), which included surgical wound infections, followed by respiratory infections (24.21%) and genitourinary infections (22.11%). |
