Resumo: | Justification and Objectives: Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) affect thousands of people worldwide and are a major cause of complications among hospitalized patients. This study aimed to identify HAI characteristics among patients hospitalized at a cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) in a reference hospital in Santa Catarina from January to December 2017. Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in the hospital infection control committee (HICC) and intensive care unit (ICU) of the institution. Data were collected from 86 HAI notification forms. All patients admitted to the CICU notified with HAI by the HICC in 2017 were included in the study. Demographic and clinical data were collected from patients’ medical records. Data were tabulated in Microsoft Excel and analyzed by the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 18.0. Results: In 2017, HAI incidence was 58.6% and mortality rate 44.8%. The infection was more prevalent among individuals aged between 71 and 80 years (39.6%), and mainly affected the respiratory tract (RTI) (58.1%), the urinary tract (43%), and the bloodstream (30.2%). Pseudomonas aeruginosa (27.9%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (26.7%) and Acinetobacter baumannii (19.8%) were the main etiological agents. Regarding the base pathology, congestive heart failure was the most frequent (19.8%). Conclusion: This study found similar results on the incidence of HAI in CICU to those reported in the literature. Studies have showed permanent education, prevention and control protocols (bundles), and appropriate hand hygiene to be effective actions in reducing infections. |

O objetivo deste estudo foi conhecer as características das IRAS em pacientes internados em uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Cardiológica em um hospital de referência em Santa Catarina, no período de janeiro a dezembro de 2017. Métodos: Estudo descritivo, realizado de forma transversal na Comissão de Controle de Infecção Hospitalar (CCIH) e Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) da instituição. Os dados foram coletados em 86 fichas de notificação de IRAS. Fizeram parte deste estudo todos os pacientes internados na UTI Cardiológica que tiveram notificação de IRAS registrada pela CCIH em 2017, sendo coletadas nos prontuários as variáveis demográficas e clínicas. Os dados foram organizados no Excel e analisados por meio do Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) versão 18.0. Resultados: O percentual de IRAS em 2017 foi de 58,6% e o índice de mortalidade foi de 44,8%. Verificou-se maior ocorrência de infecção em indivíduos com idade entre 71 e 80 anos (39,6%), principalmente infecção do trato respiratório (ITR) (58,1%), seguida de infecção do trato urinário (43%) e infecção da corrente sanguínea (30,2%). Os principais agentes etiológicos foram: Pseudomonas aeruginosa (27,9%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (26,7%) e Acinetobacter baumannii (19,8%). Quanto à patologia de base, a mais frequente foi a insuficiência cardíaca congestiva (19,8%). Conclusão: O levantamento dos dados acerca das IRAS em UTI Cardiológica evidenciou incidência semelhante aos achados com a literatura. Ações de educação permanente, elaboração de protocolos (bundles) de prevenção e controle, e técnicas de higienização correta das mãos têm se mostrado efetivos para reduzir as infecções.Unisc2020-07-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/epidemiologia/article/view/1540610.17058/reci.v10i3.15406Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção; Vol. 10 No. 3 (2020)Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção; v. 10 n. 3 (2020)2238-3360reponame:Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecçãoinstname:Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul (UNISC)instacron:UNISCengporhttps://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/epidemiologia/article/view/15406/9475https://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/epidemiologia/article/view/15406/9476Copyright (c) 2020 Carolina Huller Farias, Fabiana Oenning da Gamainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFarias, Carolina HullerGama, Fabiana Oenning da2022-08-08T12:58:04Zoai:ojs.online.unisc.br:article/15406Revistahttps://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/epidemiologia/indexONGhttp://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/epidemiologia/oai||liapossuelo@unisc.br|| julia.kern@hotmail.com||reci.unisc@gmail.com2238-33602238-3360opendoar:2022-08-08T12:58:04Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção - Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul (UNISC)false |
