The study of nosocomial infection in intensive care units becomes the central axis of medical care and a pillar of quality control. These units assume a high number of critically ill patients with comorbidity, immune compromise and in contact with invasive devices, factors that condition the spread of multiresistant bacteria, which requires monitor...

The hospital environment is a potential source of microbial contamination. Thus, the magazines in hospital's waiting rooms are handled by patients and visitors whose health and hygiene conditions can vary widely. In this context, we had measured the microbial load on the surface of magazines. Fifteen magazines from 5 waiting rooms of hospital are s...

The science of immune nutrition is more complex than previously thought. Future trial design should consider immune status at the time of trial entry because differential effects of nutraceuticals may be related to this patient characteristic.

Mortality was significantly higher in patients with NIs. The use of PN was one of the most significant predictors for NIs in the overall cohort of PCICU patients, cardiac surgical patients, and those who required CPB.

Finally, we discuss about the prevention strategies against oral colonization of nosocomial pathogens includes classic methods and novel methods such as Photodynamic therapy, NO based therapy, anti-virulence therapy and other new under investigation antimicrobial strategies.
Las infecciones nosocomiales son adquiridas durante la estancia en el hospital, no estando presentes ni en el periodo de incubación ni en el momento del ingreso. El virus de la hepatitis C, aunque no se considera de los más frecuentes, forma parte de los microorganismos considerados de riesgo en la infección nosocomial. Desde el punto de vista médi...

Disposable bronchoscopes such as the Ambu aScopeTM 3 are marketed as 'single use' The risks of contamination from prolonged device storage before possible re-use are unknown. Following clinical bronchoscopy in patients whose lungs were mechanically ventilated, 20 aScopeTM 3's bronchoscopes received a standard 'social clean' and were then stored. Su...
