Prospective study in burn unit of a tertiary case referral centre in north india • Hospital wide study is Performed by Taneja N., Emmanuel R.,Chari P S, Sharma M. in 2004 • 71 patient developed 59 hospital acquired infection. • Infection density- 36.2 infection per 1000 patient day • Commonest- invasive wound infection
- 24. U.T.I. study in JNMC Aligarh • Performed by M. Akram, M.Shahid, A U Khan in 2007. • 100 sample infected out of 920 tested urine sample. • Infection of E. Coli- 61% Klebsiella – 22%

- 26. 1) SOURCE • Patient • Staff • environment
- 27. 2) Routes of spread a) Direct contact b) Droplet infection c) Air borne particle d) Release of hospital dust into the air e) Through various hospital procedure
- 30. c) Air borne particle
- 31. d) Release of hospital dust into the air
- 32. e) Through various hospital procedure like • catheterization • Intravenous procedure • dressing • infected cat gut • sputum cups • bed pans • urinals etc.
- 33. 3) RECIPIENTS a) Patient especially severely ill & under corticosteroid therapy b) Cross infection is greater in • Intensive care unit • Urological ward • Geriatric ward • Special baby care unit
- 35. 1) Isolation of infectious patient
- 36. 2) Hospital staff • Keep away from work until completely cured
- 37. 3) Hand washing

- 49. Standard to be maintained in hospital
- 50. An attempt should be made to achieve and maintain an average count of 10-15 bacteria/cubic foot of air in hospital less than 5 bacteria/ cubic foot- minimal risk of infection more than 35 bacteria/ cubic foot of air- heightened risk
- 51. Guideline to evaluate the floor cleaning procedure Based on rodac plate count • 0-25 bacteria/cubic foot- good floor cleaning procedure • 26-50 bacteria/cubic foot- satisfactory • More than 50 bacteria/cubic foot- not satisfactory
- 52. Role of central sterile supply department (CSSD) • CSSD is an accepted feature of hospital planning.
- 53. Function of CSSD • Supply of sterile instrument & material for dressing & procedure carried out in wards & department. • Sterilization of instrument & linen for use in operation theatre
- 54. CSSD also look after • Disinfection & sterilization of medical equipment such as ventilators, baby incubators, oxygen tents etc. • Selection & distribution of single use (disposable) sterile supplies such as catheters, suction tubing & syringe.
