DEFINITION
• The term nosocomial infection or health-care associated infection is applied to “any clinical infection that was neither present nor was in its incubation period at the time of admission to the acute care setting”.
• Nosocomial infections may also make their appearance after discharge from the hospital, if the patient was in the incubation period at the time of discharge
![Page 4: HOSPITAL INFECTIONS Infectious Diseases Department Yeditepe University Hospital Meral SÖNMEZOĞLU, MD, Assoc Prof.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfd31a28abf838cac459/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Most Common Types of Nosocomial Infections
• Most Common Types of Nosocomial Infections:
1. Urinary tract infections.
2. Surgical wound infections.
3. Lower respiratory Tract infections (primarily
pneumonia).
4. Bloodstream infections (septicaemia)

SOURCES• Infectious agents from endogenous or exogenous
sources.
• Endogenous sources are body sites, such as the skin, nose, mouth, gastrointestinal (GI) tract, or vagina that are normally inhabited by microorganisms.
• Exogenous sources are those external to the patient, such as patient care personnel, visitors, patient care equipment, medical devices, or the health care environment
![Page 11: HOSPITAL INFECTIONS Infectious Diseases Department Yeditepe University Hospital Meral SÖNMEZOĞLU, MD, Assoc Prof.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfd31a28abf838cac459/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Modes of Transmission of Infections
1. Contact:
- Direct e.g., hands of hospital personnel.
- Indirect e.g., using contaminated objects.
2. Contaminated vehicles used in common for patients e.g., instruments, contaminated food, water, solutions, drugs or blood products.
3. Airborne e.g., aerosol, droplets or dust.

Outline• Nosocomial Infections are a significant cause
of morbidity and mortality• There has been increased public interest in
nosocomial infections• Shifting paradigm
– Many infections are preventable
![Page 18: HOSPITAL INFECTIONS Infectious Diseases Department Yeditepe University Hospital Meral SÖNMEZOĞLU, MD, Assoc Prof.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfd31a28abf838cac459/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Shifting Vantage Points on Nosocomial Infections
Gerberding JL. Ann Intern Med 2002;137:665-670.
Many infections are inevitable, although
some can be prevented
Each infection is potentially
preventable unless proven otherwise
![Page 19: HOSPITAL INFECTIONS Infectious Diseases Department Yeditepe University Hospital Meral SÖNMEZOĞLU, MD, Assoc Prof.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfd31a28abf838cac459/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Epidemiology• 5-10% of patients admitted to acute care hospitals
acquire infections– 2 million patients/year– ¼ of nosocomial infections occur in ICUs– 90,000 deaths/year– Attributable annual cost: $4.5 – $5.7 billion
• Cost is largely borne by the healthcare facility not 3rd party payors

Nosocomial Infections
• 70% are due to antibiotic-resistant organisms
• Invasive devices are more important than underlying diseases in determining susceptibility to nosocomial infection

Preventing Surgical Site Infections
Focus on modifiable risk factors
![Page 35: HOSPITAL INFECTIONS Infectious Diseases Department Yeditepe University Hospital Meral SÖNMEZOĞLU, MD, Assoc Prof.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfd31a28abf838cac459/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Sources of SSIs
• Endogenous: patient’s skin or mucosal flora– Increased risk with devitalized tissue, fluid
collection, edema, larger inocula• Exogenous
– Includes OR environment/instruments, OR air, personnel
• Hematogenous/lymphatic: seeding of surgical site from a distant focus of infection– May occur days to weeks following the procedure
• Most infections occur due to organisms implanted during the procedure
![Page 36: HOSPITAL INFECTIONS Infectious Diseases Department Yeditepe University Hospital Meral SÖNMEZOĞLU, MD, Assoc Prof.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfd31a28abf838cac459/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

• The most effective way to reduce the incidence of CA-ASB and CA-UTI is to reduce the use of urinary catheterization by restricting its use to patients who have clear indications and by removing the catheter as soon as it is no longer needed
46
![Page 47: HOSPITAL INFECTIONS Infectious Diseases Department Yeditepe University Hospital Meral SÖNMEZOĞLU, MD, Assoc Prof.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfd31a28abf838cac459/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
• Strategies to reduce the use of catheterization have been shown to be effective and are likely to have more impact on the incidence of CA-ASB and CA-UTI than any of the other strategies addressed in these guidelines

Catheter-associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI)
• Single most common healthcare-associated infection (HAI), accounting for 34% of all HAIs.
• Associated with significant morbidity and excess healthcare costs.
• Since 2008, CMS no longer reimburses for additional costs required to treat CAUTIs.

• Formation of biofilms by urinary pathogens common on the surfaces of catheters and collecting systems
• Bacteria within biofilms resistant to antimicrobials and host defenses
• Some novel strategies in CAUTI prevention have targeted biofilms

Catheter-associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI)
• Urinary catheters are often placed unnecessarily, in place without physician awareness and not removed promptly when no longer needed.
• Prolonged catheterization is the #1 risk for catheter-associated urinary tract infection.

Risk Factors for Nosocomial BSIs
• Heavy skin colonization at the insertion site
• Internal jugular or femoral vein sites
• Duration of placement
• Contamination of the catheter hub
![Page 65: HOSPITAL INFECTIONS Infectious Diseases Department Yeditepe University Hospital Meral SÖNMEZOĞLU, MD, Assoc Prof.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfd31a28abf838cac459/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Prevention of Nosocomial BSIs
• Coated catheters– In meta-analysis C/SS catheter decreases BSI
(OR 0.56, CI95 0.37-0.84)– M/R catheter may be more effective than C/SS– Disadvantages: potential for development of
resistance; cost (M/R > C/SS > uncoated)
• Use of heparin– Flushes or SC injections decreases catheter
thrombosis, catheter colonization & may decrease BSI
![Page 66: HOSPITAL INFECTIONS Infectious Diseases Department Yeditepe University Hospital Meral SÖNMEZOĞLU, MD, Assoc Prof.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfd31a28abf838cac459/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Prevention of Nosocomial BSIs
• Limit duration of use of intravascular catheters– No advantage to changing catheters routinely
• Change CVCs to PICCs when possible• Maximal barrier precautions for insertion
– Sterile gloves, gown, mask, cap, full-size drape– Moderately strong supporting evidence
• Chlorhexidine prep for catheter insertion

Introduction
• Nosocomial pneumonia is the 2nd most common hospital-acquired infections after UTI. Accounting for 31 % of all nosocomial infections
• Nosocomial pneumonia is the leading cause of death from hospital-acquired infections.
• The incidence of nosocomial pneumonia is highest
in ICU.
![Page 72: HOSPITAL INFECTIONS Infectious Diseases Department Yeditepe University Hospital Meral SÖNMEZOĞLU, MD, Assoc Prof.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfd31a28abf838cac459/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Introduction
• The incidence of nosocomial pneumonia in ventilated patients was 10-fold higher than non-ventilated patients
• The reported crude mortality for HAP is 30% to greater than 70%.

Pathogenesis
• For pneumonia to occur, at least one of the following three conditions must occur:
1. Significant impairment of host defenses
2. Introduction of a sufficient-size inoculum to overwhelm the host's lower respiratory tract defenses
3. The introduction of highly virulent organisms into the lower respiratory tract
• Most common is microaspiration of oropharyngeal secretions colonized with pathogenic bacteria.

Classification
• Early-onset nosocomial pneumonia: Occurs during the first 4 days Usually is due to S. pneumoniae, MSSA, H. Influenza,
or anaerobes.• Late-onset nosocomial pneumonia: More than 4 days More commonly by G(-) organisms, esp. P. aeruginosa, Acinetobacter, Enterobacteriaceae (klebsiella,
Enterobacter, Serratia) or MRSA.
![Page 77: HOSPITAL INFECTIONS Infectious Diseases Department Yeditepe University Hospital Meral SÖNMEZOĞLU, MD, Assoc Prof.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfd31a28abf838cac459/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Causative Agent
• Enteric G(-) bacilli are isolated most frequently particularly in patients with late-onset disease and in patients with serious underlying disease often already on broad-spectrum antibiotics.
• Prior use of broad-spectrum antibiotics and an immunocompromised state make resistant gram-negative organisms more likely.
![Page 78: HOSPITAL INFECTIONS Infectious Diseases Department Yeditepe University Hospital Meral SÖNMEZOĞLU, MD, Assoc Prof.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfd31a28abf838cac459/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Causative Agent
• P. aeruginosa and Acinetobacter are common causes of late-onset pneumonia, particularly in the ventilated patients.
![Page 79: HOSPITAL INFECTIONS Infectious Diseases Department Yeditepe University Hospital Meral SÖNMEZOĞLU, MD, Assoc Prof.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfd31a28abf838cac459/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Causative Agent
• S. aureus is isolated in about 20~40% of cases and is particularly common in :
1. Ventilated patients after head trauma, neurosurgery, and wound infection
2. In patients who had received prior antibiotics or Prolonged care in ICU
• MRSA is seen more commonly in patients Received corticosteroids Undergone mechanical ventilation >5 days Presented with chronic lung disease Had prior antibiotics therapy
![Page 80: HOSPITAL INFECTIONS Infectious Diseases Department Yeditepe University Hospital Meral SÖNMEZOĞLU, MD, Assoc Prof.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfd31a28abf838cac459/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Causative Agent• Anaerobes are common in patients predisposed to
aspiration
• VAP with anaerobes occurred more often with oropharyngeal intubation than nasopharyngeal intubation.
![Page 81: HOSPITAL INFECTIONS Infectious Diseases Department Yeditepe University Hospital Meral SÖNMEZOĞLU, MD, Assoc Prof.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfd31a28abf838cac459/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Causative Agent• Legionella pneumophilia occurs sporadically but may be
endemic in hospitals with contaminated water systems. The incidence is underestimated because the test to identify Legionella are not performed routinely.
• Because the incubation period of Legionella infection is 2 to 10 days. cases that occur more than 10 days after admission are considered to be nosocomial, and cases that develop between 4 and 10 days are considered as possible nosocomial.
• Patients who are immunocompromised, critically ill, or on steroids are at highest risk for infection.

Biofilms
• Biofilms are microbial communities (cities) living attached to a solid support eg catheters/ other medical devices
• Biofilms are involved in up to 60% of nosocomial infections
• Antibiotics are less effective at killing bacteria when part of a biofilm

Transmission
1. Contact – most common• Direct (physical contact)
• Indirect (via contaminated objects)
2. Airborne Transmission• Droplet respiratory secretions on surfaces
• Inhalation of infectious particles
3. Blood-borne transmission
4. Food-borne

Role of infection control teams
• Education and training
• Development and dissemination of infection control policy
• Monitoring and audit of hygiene
• Clinical audit

Surveillance
• Continuous monitoring of the frequency and distribution of infectious diseases
• Determines the most important causes of infectious diseases and identifies at risk groups
![Page 96: HOSPITAL INFECTIONS Infectious Diseases Department Yeditepe University Hospital Meral SÖNMEZOĞLU, MD, Assoc Prof.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfd31a28abf838cac459/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
Uses of surveillance
• Used to identify new “problems”
• Used to identify where resources are most needed
• Used to determine the burden of disease
• Used for strategic planning and policies
• Use surveillance for measuring outcomes of intervention strategies
