NOSOCOMIAL INFECTIONS & HOSPITAL ACQUIRED INFECTIONS (HAI)
MRSA, VRE, CRE, C-DIFF, TB and Influenza are worrying issues, especially in hospitals and healthcare facilities. These pathogens, along with the increasing danger of antibiotic-resistance, are a constant concern for infection control teams. All of the above are developing varying levels of resistance to vancomyn, carbapenem and other traditional generic antibiotic treatments.
Disinfection of equipment and of entire rooms, especially high-burden areas where patients, staff and visitors are at risk from such things as TB contagions, is generally undertaken using traditional cleaning methods only.
It is the responsibility of infection control teams to investigate all avenues of additional protection against the above issues.
In Thailand alone there are approximately 40,000 patients and 13,000 deaths from Tuberculosis (TB) each year (Office of Policy & Strategy, 2010).
USA studies (Health Grades Hospital Quality, 2011) have shown there are over 40,000 harmful and/or lethal medical errors every day, resulting in one in twenty-five patients suffering from an unnecessary Hospital Acquired Infection (HAI).
Equally at risk are the very important hospital staff on the front line who are subjected to pathogens on a daily basis. Young, healthy staff members can become carriers of diseases and unknowingly transport harmful pathogens to other areas; placing many others at risk. These same staff members can also suffer from exposure to HAI issues.
