Risk factors analysis and preventive measures of neonatal nosocomial infection

ObjectiveTo analyze the characteristics and related risk factors of nosocomial infection in the neonatal ward of a hospital, and formulate effective preventive and control measures.

MethodsUsing the active monitoring method, the clinical data of 1 858 children hospitalized from January to June 2020 were subjectively monitored, and the monitoring results were statistically analyzed to put forward to corresponding preventive measures of nosocomial infection.

ResultsAmong 1 858 neonatal cases, the nosocomial infection in 24 cases(27 times) was found, and the incidence rates of nosocomial infection case and time were 1.29% and 1.45%, respectively.The respiratory tract infection was the main infection(accounting for 44.44%), followed by blood infection(accounting for 37.04%).A total of 19 strains of pathogenic bacteria were detected in 27 times of nosocomial infection, mainly included Acinetobacter baumannii(7 strains, 36.84%), followed by Escherichia coli(4 strains, 21.05%).There was no statistical significance in the incidence rate of nosocomial infection among different gender children(P>0.05).The nosocomial infection rate in neonatal endotracheal intubation group was higher than that in non-endotracheal intubation group(P < 0.01).With the increasing of birth mass, the nosocomial infection rate decreased(P < 0.01).

ConclusionsThe low-weight infants and endotracheal intubation are the high risk factors of neonatal nosocomial infection.Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the management of neonatal ward, strictly operate aseptic technique, grasp the indication of catheterization and take preventive measures for its risk factors to reduce the incidence of nosocomial infection.
