1 Nozokomijalne infekcije Kurs 3: Intenzivno lečenje, urgentna medicina i transfuzija Naziv teme: Nozokomijalne infekcije Datum: Jezik: Srpski Grad: Kopaonik Zemlja: Srbija Predavač: prof Radmilo Janković Radmilo J. Janković Medicinski fakultet, Univerzitet u Nišu Nozokomijalna infekcija Nozokomijalna infekcija nosus -bolest komeion - brinuti se 1. svaka infekcija nastala unutar 48 h od hospitalizacije, koja se ispoljava kao lokalno ili sistemsko oboljenje koje je rezultat reakcije organizma na prisustvo jednog ili više infektivnih agenasa ili njihovih toksina, a koje nije bilo manifestno klinički i/ili laboratorijski i /ili mikrobiološki, niti je pacijent bio u inkubaciji prilikom prijema u bolnicu ili neku drugu zdravstvenu ustanovu; 2. do 3 dana nakon otpuštanja iz bolnice 3. asimptomatski pacijent kome je patogeni mikroorganizam izolovan iz telesnih tečnosti ili dela tela koji normalno je sterilan(krv, cerebrospinalna tečnost) CHIKERE CB, OMONI VT, CHIKERE BO.

2 Nozokomijalne infekcije - Evropa -prevalenca nozokomijalnih infekcija 7,1% bolesnika godišnje u Evropi ima neku nozokomijalnu infekciju ( podaci Evropskog Centra za prevenciju i kontrolu bolesti) - Južna Amerika, Afrika, Azija >40% hospitalizovanih sa nozokomijalnim infekcijama - U JIL prevalenca nozokomijalnih infekcija 20,6% (European Prevalence of Infection in Intensive Care EPIC study, 1999) Rahmqvist et al.direct health care costs and length of hospital stay related to health care-acquiredinfections in adult patients based on point prevalence measurements.

Više od 70% bakterija je multirezisteno! Nozokomijalne infekcije- faktori predispozicije Podela nozokomijalnih infekcija prema poreklu uzročnika, izvori infekcije Endogene: -Izazvane uzročnicima koji su deo stalne ili prolazne flore domaćina Egzogene: 1. Izazvane uzročnicima koji se prenose sa bolesnika na bolesnika( izvor infekcije: bolesnik) 2.Izazvane uzročnicima koji lako preživljavaju u bolničkoj sredini( izvorbolnička sredina: voda, vazduh, rastvori, kateteri, aparati za mehaničku ventilaciju, bolničko rublje, hrana...) 2

3 Vektori transmisije uzročnika Kontaktom: 1. Direktno- sa osobe na osobu - Najčešći i najznačajniji put transmisije uzročnika Direktni kontaktni put Vektori transmisije uzročnika Kontaktom: 2. Indirektno: kontaminirani :instrumenti, igle,posteljina, rastvori, rukavice, kateteri,hrana, voda... Kapljičnim putem: - čestice <5 μ se duže zadržavaju u vazduhu i kao nosioci mikroorganizma mogu se dispergovati vazdušnim strujama, na udaljenosti daleko većoj od samog izvora 3

4 Uzročnici nozokomijalnih infekcija - Bakterije (90%) - Virusi - Gljivice - Paraziti Bakterije-najčešći uzročnici Gram pozititivne: -Staphilococcus aureus -Streptococcus sp. - Klebsiella Gram negativne: -Acinetobacter sp. - P.aeruginosa - E.coli - Proteus Multi rezistentne bakterije: -MRSA - VRE -Vankomicin rezistentni S. aureus - Klebsiella ESBL - Pseodomonas ( od 1980.) - Acinetobacter( od 1980.)

Staphylococcus aureus Staphylococcus epidermidis Patofiziološka osnova Kasne infekcije vaskularnih katetera razvijaju se nakon dana od implantacije i uglavnom su rezultat kolonizacije sintetskog implantiranog materijala Staphylococcus Epidermidisom koji prouzrokujre infekciju niskog intenziteta praćenu formiranjem biofilma na površini grafta. Bakterijski biofilm je specifično zažtitno okruženje koje bakterijama pruža izuzetno povoljno mikrookruženje uključujući i zaštitu od odbrambenih mehanizama domaćina i dejstva antibiotika. 12

13 Prevencija nozokomijalnih infekcija 1. Praćenje Prevencija nozokomijalnih infekcija 2. Izolacija U proseku 5 do 15 % zdravih osoba imaju nastanjen Staphylococcus aureus u svojim nozdrvama. Ova prevalenca raste kod pacijenta sa terminalnom fazom bubrežne bolesti, infekcijama kože, i različitim vidovima imunodeficijencije. Kliconoštvo Staphylococcus aureus-a pokazalo se je kao jedan od najizraženijih faktora rizika za nastanak infekcija kod pacijenta, uvećavajući mogućnost nastanka infekcije za četiri do osam puta. Sa druge strane, preoperativna MRSA kolonizacija nozdrva kod vaskularnih pacijenta povećava mogućnost nastanka nozokomijalnih infekcija uz prosečno produženje bolničkog boravka za četiri dana 13
