Abstract:

The current situation of multidrug-resistant bacteria infection in surgical patients is becoming increasingly severe. Effective prevention of cross transmission of multidrug-resistant bacteria and common site infections in ICU patients is the key step. In response to the key issues in the prevention and control of multidrug-resistant bacteria infection, a comprehensive strategy is implemented. Core measures such as early recognition, preemptive isolation, active screening, and graded prevention and control are taken for patients, and targeted preventive measures for common infection sites are combined to form a detection and control system of multidrug-resistant bacteria for ICU patients. By moving forward and extrapolating to the general ward, the prevention and control system effectively reduced the incidence of multidrug-resistant bacteria colonization/infection in surgical patients.

Key words: Carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, Intensive care unit, Infection control and prevention
