Filter by:From January 1st 2020, any CIED procedure conducted with adjunct TauroPace™ CIED and pocket irrigation is enrolled in a consecutive manner and followed up in one centre. Follow-up is prospectively. Before that date any CIED procedure conducted with adjunct antispetic pocket and CIED irrigation is evaluated retrospectively to form a comparable group.
The aims of this study were: 1. Observation of dynamics in oral microbiota and its association with the incidence of HAIs and VAP in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients in an ICU setting 2. Evaluation of the incidence of HAIs and VAP and their association with oral bacteriobiota in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients in an ICU setting 3. Assessment of impact of different oral hygienic procedures on oral microbiota, the incidence of HAI and patients' safety in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients in an ICU setting approaches to oral care in an ICU setting Intervention of oral hygienic procedures implemented in study: Patients were divided into 2 groups depending on the oral care procedure: 1. Standard oral procedure (cleaning and moisturizing of oral cavity, suction of excess fluid) 2. Extended oral procedure (cleaning and moisturizing of oral cavity, teeth brushing, suction of excess fluid)
The rate of nosocomial SARS-CoV2 infections found in the different studies since the beginning of the pandemic is very variable (<1% in hospitals in the USA to about 20% in a British hospital). Mortality related to these nosocomial SARS-CoV2 infections is higher than in the general population. The risk factors identified for this nosocomial acquisition are multiple. We were confronted with nosocomial acquisitions and cluster situations in the services, without exhaustive data to measure these phenomena, and we lacked data to consider areas for improvement. The objectives of this study are to determine the proportion of nosocomial SARS COV 2 infections in the total number of patients hospitalized with a Covid-19 infection at the CHR Metz-Thionville in 2021, and to describe the characteristics of this population.
We aimed to determine the prevalence of HAI in medical Tunisian ICUs. Secondary endpoints were to identify the predominant infecting microorganisms and evaluate independent risk factors of HAIs.
the purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pivmecillinam hydrochloride tablets in the treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infection in China
The main purpose of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of XC221, tablets, at a dose of 200 mg/day compared to placebo in patients with uncomplicated influenza or other acute respiratory viral infections (ARIs). An additional purpose of the study was to evaluate the safety of XC221, tablets, at a dose of 200 mg/day compared to placebo in patients with uncomplicated influenza or other ARIs.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple-ascending dose phase Ib study of HH-003 injection, which is a monoclonal antibody targeting Hepatitis B virus. This study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of HH-003 injection in treatment-naive participants chronically infected with hepatitis B virus.
Environmental hygiene is a key component of infection prevention in healthcare, and a driver of healthcare associated infections. Staff who clean in many low resource countries receive no formal training on cleaning, waste disposal and linen handling. This issue has been execrated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The only recommended training on environmental hygiene for low resourced facilities, TEACH CLEAN, uses a training of trainers model. A selected cadre "champions" which in turn train their peers with responsibilities on environmental hygiene at the facility level. Early pilot data to test its effectiveness of this training package are very promising. The main objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of an environmental cleaning bundle to improve microbiological cleanliness in Cambodian hospitals. The latest TEACH CLEAN will be implemented across all hospitals (13) of three provinces in Cambodia. A stepped wedge randomised trial will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of TEACH CLEAN to improve microbiological cleanliness in Cambodian hospitals. All facilities will receive the intervention. Hospitals are arranged in groups of three or four based on the randomisation with staggered commencement dates of the intervention at four distinct time points. The design will include ten months of data collection. We expect one month gap between the training of champions and the training of staff at the facility level. The main outcome is microbiological cleanliness (<2.5 cfu/cm2 = clean ; ≥2.5 cfu/cm2 = not clean) measured using a non-specific agar on one side for measuring total Aerobic Colony Counts (ACC/cm2). With 30 sampling sites in each hospital and with a pre-training cleanliness proportion ranging from 30% to 50% will give us over 85% power to detect a 10% absolute post-intervention increase in cleanliness. Evidence from this trial will contribute to future policy and practice guidelines about hospital environmental hygiene and ultimately reduce healthcare associated infections. This would be the first randomised trial on environmental hygiene in low resource settings.
Multidrug resistant organisms (MDRO) are prevalent in hospitals and are associated with hospital-acquired infections (HAI). High-touch surfaces serve as reservoirs and fomites for MDRO transmission. The investigators quantified the impact of hanging single-use cleaning/disinfecting wipes in patients' immediate environment within multi-patient rooms. Pre-specified outcomes were: 1) HAI rate, 2) cleaning frequency, 3) MDRO room contamination, 4) new MDRO acquisitions, and 5) in-hospital mortality.
A rapid point of care test for the detection of virus particles will be compared to the FDA approved EUA RT-PCR detection standard. The iStatis COVID-19 Ag Rapid Test is intended for rapid point-of-care detection of the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigen.
