7 PERSPECTIVES ON CRITICAL CARE INFECTIOUS DISEASES An Introduction to the Series Different models of intensive care medicine have been developed worldwide, involving surgeons, anesthetists, internists and critical care physicians. All intensive care departments of hospitals have in common, the highest incidence of antibiotic consumption, the highest incidence of nosocomial infections and community-acquired infections with high degrees of severity. Intensive care areas of hospitals have the largest number of infection outbreaks and require differentiated strategies of prevention. The specific characteristics of the involved population require differentiated approaches in diagnosis and therapy from those required in classical infectious problems. The specific pharmacodynamic conditions of patients requiring mechanical ventilation or continuous renal replacement, require participation of experts in pharmacology. The specific objective of this Series is to update therapeutic implications and discuss controversial topics in specific infectious problems involving critically ill patients. Each topic will be discussed by two authors representing the different management perspectives for these controversial and evolving topics. The Guest Editors, one from North America and one from Europe, have invited contributors to present the most recent findings and the specific infectious disease problems and management techniques for critically ill patients, from their perspective. Jordi Rello, M.D. Series Editor
8 PREFACE Infections are serious and common complications of the treatment of critically ill patients. Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients become more prone to develop infections as their severity of illness, the complexity of underlying diseases, and the numbers of interventions that breach their host defenses increase. To further complicate care, resistance of ICU pathogens to the newest antimicrobial therapy is emerging, despite current prevention efforts. In such an environment, heightened infection control is of key importance. Infection Control in the ICU Environment provides an overarching review that details the most current and high profile infection control problems in ICUs. Authors include noted scientists, intensivisits, and epidemiologists from the United States and Europe and infection control experts from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The latest problem pathogens in ICUs, particularly Acinetobacter, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and vancomycin-resistant Enterococci, are examined in detail. Cutting edge information regarding the potential for prophylactic and/or pre-emptive therapy offungal infections in ICUs is reviewed. The latest innovations in vascular catheter care and prevention of bloodstream infections are discussed. An up-to-date review of ventilator-associated pneumonia and its prevention is provided. Dissecting fact from fiction and value from ritual in ICU procedures is thoughtfully explored. Finally, the newest innovations in use of mathematical modeling to understand the epidemiology and control of infections in ICUs are presented. The issues discussed in this book are timely, are of global importance, and will remain on our agenda well into the next decade(s). Marc Bonten, M.D., Ph.D. Robert A. Weinstein, M.D.
