Nosocomial infections
Every year in the US,preventable hospital-acquired diseases,
including nosocomial infections,are responsible for 44’000-98’000 deaths

Students and doctors were required to:
clean their hands with a chlorinated lime solution when entering the labor room
in particular when moving from the autopsyto the labor room

Relation between opportunities for hand hygienefor nurses and compliance across hospital wards

On average,22 opp / hourfor an ICU nurse
1. Recognize2. Explain
Observed reasons for not washing handsTime and system constraints
• High demand for hand hygiene isassociated with low compliance
• Full compliance with conventional guidelines is unrealistic
Voss and Widmer - Inf Control Hosp Epidemiol 1997; 18:205Pittet et al, Annals Intern Med 1999; 130:126
Time constraint = major obstacle for hand hygiene

Infection control in developing countries
Infection control in developingcountries: main issues
Unfavorable social background
Facilities badly structured and equipped
Technological gap
Lack of adequate conditions in hospitals
Inadequately/insufficiently equippedInadequate hygiene conditionsLack of microbiological dataUnderstaffing
• Pessoa-Silva et al J Pediatrics 2002;141:381-7.
Overcrowding• Merchant et al J Hosp Infect 1999;38:143-148.
– Bed occupancy exceeding capacity: 140%!
Low staff preparedness• Issack MI J Hosp Infect 1999;42:339-344.
– Unecessary measures / lack of adequate measures
ConsequencesUnsafe invasive procedures
• Simonsen et al. Bull WHO 1999;77:789-800.50% injections = unsafe in 14 out of 19 countries
sepsis, hepatitis B and C, HIV, Ebola, Lassa and malaria

Healthcare-associated infections– affect millions of patients worldwide every year– more serious illness– prolong hospital stay– long-term disability– high costs on humans and their families– excess deaths– massive additional financial burden
World Alliance for Patient SafetyGlobal Patient Safety Challenge 2005-2006
Affects a large number of individualsworldwideMultifaceted causation related to– systems and processes of care provision– human behavior– political and economical constraints on
systems/countries
Patient safety gap (some healthcare institutions/systems control the risk to patients much better than others)
Data to assess the size and nature of theproblem and to create the basis for monitoring the effectiveness of actions
Health-care associated infection is a major patient safety problem
