18. Reduction of nosocomial infection during pediatric intensive care by protective isolation

Author

Abstract

The investigation studied whether the number of bacterial and fungal infections caught by children in hospital can be reduced by staff use of disposable, nonwoven, polypropylene gowns and nonsterile latex gloves. All the children had normally functioning immune systems, but required mechanical breathing assistance and three or more days of intensive care. The same risk factors increased the rate of infection in both children being treated by staff taking the extra precautions (isolated) and in those treated traditionally. Bacteria or fungus colonies formed later in isolated patients, at an average of twelve rather than seven days. These colonies led to infection in twelve of the non-isolated patients, but only two of the isolated patients. Isolated patients took longer to come down with their first infection, taking an average of twenty, rather than eight days. Their daily infection rate was half that of non-isolated patients, and they spent fewer days with a fever. Isolation was most beneficial after at least seven days of intensive care. Isolation was well tolerated by patients and their families. The patients were often touched and handled by hospital personnel and family members. Thus, disposable gowns and gloves which form a good barrier against microorganisms significantly reduce infections caught in hospital for children who require prolonged intensive care.
