Title

Implementing Best Practice Strategies To Prevent Infection In The Icu

Abstract

Critically ill patients are at high risk for infection because of many factors. Quality and regulatory groups have published guidelines regarding infection prevention in the ICU. A multifaceted, multiprofessional team approach is necessary to develop and implement strategies to prevent infections in the critically ill patient. Bundles of interventions along with daily rounds and assessment are essential program components. Ongoing surveillance and re-education and reinforcement are also part of a strong infection prevention program. © 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
