Why is an ICU Patient at Risk ??

04/07/23

► Most Sick patients (multiple diagnoses, multi-organ failure,

immunocompromised, septic, & trauma)

► Move less

► Malnourished

► More obtunded (Glasgow coma scale)

► Associated comorbidity e.g., DM, CHF

Page 3: Infection in ICU

Page 3

Why is ICU Care Invasive ??

04/07/23

► More invasive lines & procedures

► Longer length of stay

► More IV & parenteral drugs

► More tube feeding

► More parenteral nutrition

► More ventilation

Nosocomial Infections: Definition & BurdenDefinition & Burden

04/07/23

► 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

► A third of nosocomial infections are preventable.

► Hand washing is the best preventative measure against the spread of

infection; gloves are not a substitute for hand washing.

► Inadequate antibiotic therapy is associated with poor outcome and

emergence of bacterial resistance.

Nosocomial Urinary Tract Infection

► Most common hospital-acquired infection (40% of all nosocomial

infections).

► 1 million cases of nosocomial UTI per year in the US.

► Of nosocomial infections; lowest mortality & cost.

► > 80% associated with urinary catheter.

Page 8: Infection in ICU

Page 8

Nosocomial Urinary Tract Infection

► 25% of hospitalized patients will have a urinary catheter for part of their

stay

► 40-50% of these patients do not have a valid indication for urinary

catheter placement

► Incidence of nosocomial UTI is ~5% per catheterized day

► Virtually all patients develop bacteriuria by 30 days of catheterization

► Of patients who develop bacteriuria, 3% will develop bacteremia

► Vast majority of catheter-associated UTIs are silent, but these comprise

the largest pool of antibiotic-resistant pathogens in the hospital

Catherarization: Skill, Size, Capacity & Application Skill, Size, Capacity & Application

► Insertion of a urinary catheter is an

essential medical skill.

► Catheters are sized in units called

French, where one French equals

1/3 of 1 mm.

► Catheters vary from 12 (small) FR

to 26 (large) FR in size.

► One should check the capacity of

each catheter balloon.

Page 10: Infection in ICU

Page 10

Catherarization: PreparationPreparation

► Most common mode of transmission of pathogens is via hands.

► Hand washing protect the patient against harmful germs carried on the

hands or present on his/her own skin & protect the physician from

harmful germs

Blood stream infections:Catheter-related bloodstream infectionCatheter-related bloodstream infection

04/07/23

► Catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI), also called catheter-related

sepsis) is defined as the presence of bacteraemiabacteraemia originating from an I.V. I.V.

catheter.catheter.

► One of the most frequent, lethal & costly complications of CVC.

► CRBSI can originate from peripheral I.V. & intra-arterial cannula (very rare).

► Pulmonary artery catheters have a similar incidence of CRBSI to CVCs;

dialysis catheters appear to have a much higher rate.

► CRBSI occurs in 3% of catheterizations, however, may be as high as 16%.

This represents 2–30 episodes per 1000 catheter days.

► Most common cause of nosocomial bacteraemia.

► Immunosuppression.

► Frequent accessing of the catheter.

► Poor aseptic technique.

► Administration of TPN.

► Subclavian CVCs have the lowest infection rate followed by internal

jugular & femoral catheters.

► Prolonged catheterization.

Blood stream infections:DiagnosisDiagnosis

04/07/23

Diagnosis of CRBSI is based on the following:Diagnosis of CRBSI is based on the following:

i. The presence of a CVC.

ii.Signs of catheter insertion site infection.

iii.Clinical symptoms & signs of bacteraemia.

iv.Resolution of the symptoms & signs of bacteraemia after removal of the

suspected CVC.

v.Positive blood culture.

vi.Growth of the same organism from the catheter.

Blood stream infections:In situ microbiological diagnosisIn situ microbiological diagnosis

04/07/23

Quantitative blood culture:Quantitative blood culture:CRBSI is suggested when the number of microbes from a CVC sample of blood is 5 times that from a simultaneously collected peripheral sample. This is not widely available.

Acridine orange staining of blood taken from the CVC: Acridine orange staining of blood taken from the CVC: Not widely available.

Endoluminal brush sampling:Endoluminal brush sampling:A tiny brush is passed down the catheter lumen & is examined microbiologically by culture.This test has a high sensitivity & specificity but is not widely available.There are concerns about the generation of a bacteraemia caused by organisms dislodgement.

Differential time to positivity:Differential time to positivity:CRBSI is suggested when blood from CVC demonstrates microbial growth at least 2 h earlier than growth is detected in blood collected simultaneously from a peripheral vein.Most currently used automated blood culture systems can readily provide this information.

Blood stream infections:Prevention GuidelinesPrevention Guidelines

04/07/23

Selection of catheter typeSelection of catheter typeUse a single-lumen catheter unless multiple ports are essentialFor total parenteral nutrition, a dedicated CVC or lumen should be used exclusivelyConsider the use of an antimicrobial impregnated catheter for patients at high risk of CRBSISelection of catheter insertion siteSelection of catheter insertion siteBalance risks of infection against mechanical risks of insertionUse the subclavian route unless contraindicatedConsider the use of peripherally inserted catheters as an alternative to CVCsAseptic technique during insertionAseptic technique during insertionUse optimum insertion technique including sterile gown, gloves and drapesClean the insertion site with alcoholic chlorhexidene gluconate solution (or alcoholic povidone iodine) and allow to dryCatheter & catheter site careCatheter & catheter site careBefore accessing the CVC, disinfect the external surfaces of the catheter hub and connection ports with an aqueous solution of chlorhexidene gluconate or povidone iodine (unless against manufacturer’s recommendations)Use sterile gauze or transparent dressing over the insertion siteCatheter flush solutions should contain anticoagulantReplacement strategiesReplacement strategiesGuidewire exchange is acceptable for malfunctioning catheters if there is no evidence of infection

Page 29: Infection in ICU

Page 29

Blood stream infections:TreatmentTreatment

04/07/23

► Remove the catheter if CRBSI is suspected.

► If the line is ‘precious’ and/or other access impossible, it may be justifiable to leave the catheter in place & treat medically.

► Some clinicians practice guidewire exchange for ‘precious’ catheters.

► If the removed catheter is proven on microbiological examination to be the source of sepsis then the exchanged catheter is removed & another site selected.

► Antibiotic therapy should be based on culture reports.

► One week’s treatment may be appropriate where the catheter has been removed, 2 weeks if the infection is caused by Staphylococcus aureus or fungi.

► Where deep-seated infection is suspected, further imaging and prolonged antibiotic therapy may be required.

► If microbiological data are not available or treatment is indicated before cultures are complete, blind antibiotic therapy should target the likely pathogens (including resistant Gram-negative organisms and methicillin-resistant S. aureus)

Hospital Acquired & Ventilator Associated Pneumonia

04/07/23

► Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) & ventilator associated

pneumonia (VAP), subclassifications of nosocomial pneumonia, are

considered to be the most serious hospital-acquired infections

because of their relatively high associated morbidity & mortality.

► HAP is defined as pneumonia that occurs 48 h after hospital admission

that did not appear to be incubating at the time of admission.

► VAP is pneumonia that arises > 48–72 hrs after endotracheal

intubation.

Page 31: Infection in ICU

Page 31

HAP & VAP: Risk Factors for MDR PathogensRisk Factors for MDR Pathogens

04/07/23

► Antimicrobial therapy in preceding 90 d

► Current hospitalization of 5 d or more

► High frequency of antibiotic resistance in the ICU

► Immunosuppressive disease and/or therapy

Page 32: Infection in ICU

Page 32

HAP & VAP: Recommendations for diagnosisRecommendations for diagnosis

04/07/23

► New or progressive pulmonary infiltrate & 2 of fever, leukocytosis, or sputum purulence is most accurate clinical criteriaclinical criteria

► Perform blood cultures

► Cultures for LRT secretions before initiating antimicrobial therapy

► Negative culture result of appropriate LRT specimen in absence of change in antimicrobial therapy in preceding 72 h virtually rules out pyogenic bacterial infection (exception includes Legionella)

► Reliable tracheal aspirate Gram stain can be used to direct initial antimicrobial therapy & may increase the diagnostic value of CPIS

► Quantitative cultures can be performed on endotracheal bronchoscopically or non-bronchoscopically samples

► Modified CPIS of 6 for 3 days is a criterion to select patients at low risk for early discontinuation of empirical therapy of HAP
