Infection control and prevention of nosocomial infection

Scale of the nosocomial infection (HAI) problem
It is known that nosocomial infections represent an urgent problem of modern health care.

More than 2000 years ago, Hippocrates proved that cleanliness is the prevention of disease. Modern doctors only confirm this idea, which is why the requirements for hygiene and cleanliness are so high in medicine.

The problem of nosocomial infections arose in ancient times with the advent of the first hospitals. One of the main functions of hospitals until the 19th century was the isolation of infectious patients, while the prevention of nosocomial infections was practically absent, and the conditions for keeping patients did not hold water. The frequency of wound infection reached 100%, about 60% of amputations ended in the death of patients. Mortality was extremely high among women who gave birth in a hospital: for example, during an outbreak of "puerperal fever" in 1765, 95% of puerperas died. Despite the fact that individual measures of treatment and prevention were known in antiquity.


Fig. 5 I. Semmelweis observes the processing of the hands of doctors and obstetricians
In 1843, Oliver Wendell Holmes first concluded that medical staff, infecting their patients with "puerperal fever" through unwashed hands. After conducting examinations, Holmes came to the conclusion: "The disease known as puerperal fever is contagious, since doctors and nursing staff often transfer it from one patient to another." In 1847, the Hungarian obstetrician Ignaz Semmelweis proved that hand washing prevents nosocomial infections. From the very beginning of his obstetric practice, he was interested in the problems of puerperal fever, which was considered the "scourge" of European obstetrics in the 19th century. A huge number of women had to pay with their lives for the birth of a child. The disease began on the third or fourth day after childbirth, a high temperature appeared and a few days later the woman died,

despite all the efforts of doctors to help get rid of the disease. The neonatal mortality rate was also high. Everyone considered this to be quite normal. For more than two years, Semmelweis was tormented by this issue, continuously monitoring the work of doctors and midwives. In May 1847, he found the reason and immediately suggested that all doctors, midwives and students, before starting work, thoroughly wash their hands and keep them in a bleach solution for several minutes (Fig. 5). This decision initially provoked protests from the staff, but after a month the mortality rate dropped and out of a hundred women admitted, only two died.

The emergence of antibiotics in the 40s of the 20th century caused the emergence of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms. This led to the realization of the need for an integrated approach to solving the problems of nosocomial infections. Already in the middle of the last century, the first programs for the epidemiological surveillance of nosocomial infections and documentary evidence of the need for infection control programs appeared.

Virginia Henderson made a great contribution to the prevention of nosocomial infections.

Prevention of nosocomial infection not only in Russia, but also in all countries of the world is the main task. In recent years, according to WHO, significantly more cases of nosocomial infections have been recorded.

As defined by the WHO Regional Office for Europe, nosocomial infection (HAI) is any clinically recognizable infection, which affects the patient as a result of his admission to the hospital or seeking medical care, or an infectious disease of an employee as a result of his work in this institution(regardless of the time of manifestation of clinical symptoms).

Nosocomial infections in some cases lead to death, and if the outcome is favorable, the length of the patient's stay in the hospital increases (on average by 10 days), and the cost of his treatment increases by 4 times.

The structure of nosocomial infections in hospitals is specific and is determined by the bed capacity, the profile and nature of the treatment provided in the medical organization, as well as the nosology and age composition of the hospitalized. In most large multidisciplinary hospitals, purulent-septic infections, intestinal infections, hepatitis and HIV are more common.

Often there are so-called classic infections: measles, rubella, mumps, influenza, tuberculosis, diphtheria, dysentery.

Nosocomial infections are "superimposed" on the main diseases of the patient in the form superinfections or reinfections (superinfection- layering of a pathogen of a different type of infection on an already existing infectious disease; reinfection - This is a repeated infectious disease caused by the same pathogen), worsening the condition of the body, lengthening the time of recovery and treatment, and thereby bringing economic damage to both the patient and the medical organization. In addition, during the entire period of hospitalization, a patient with nosocomial infection under certain circumstances is a source of infection for other patients and staff.

AT medical organizations Nosocomial infections pose a serious danger to patients and healthcare workers.

Concept developed Federal Service on supervision in the field of consumer rights protection and human well-being, determines the main directions for improvement national system prevention of healthcare-associated infections. The strategic task of healthcare is to ensure the quality of medical care and create a safe environment for patients and staff in organizations engaged in medical activities. Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs), are an important component of this problem due to the widespread negative consequences for the health of patients, staff and the economy of the state.

The general criterion for classifying cases of infections as HAIs is the direct connection of their occurrence with the provision of medical care (treatment, diagnostic tests, etc.). Therefore, HAIs include cases of infection that not only join the underlying disease in hospitalized patients, but are also associated with the provision of any type of medical care (in outpatient clinics, sanatorium and health institutions, institutions social protection population).
Factors contributing to the spread of infections

related to medical careHCAI) :

The growth of HCAI is generated by a complex of factors, including:


  • Creation of large hospital complexes with a peculiar ecology: high population density, represented mainly by weakened contingents and medical personnel, constantly and closely communicating with patients; isolation environment, the originality of its microbiological characteristics (the circulation of a number of strains, conditionally pathogenic microorganisms).

  • The presence of a constant large array of sources of infectious agents in a number of patients admitted to hospitals with unrecognized infectious diseases, persons in whom nosocomial infections are superimposed on the underlying disease in the hospital and medical staff (carriers with erased forms of infection).

  • Activation of natural mechanisms of transmission of pathogens of infectious diseases, especially airborne and contact household, in conditions of close communication between patients, medical staff in the LU.

  • The unsystematic uncontrolled use of antimicrobial agents leads to the formation of resistant hospital strains of microorganisms that are resistant to the hospital environment (UV, the action of disinfectants and drugs).

  • An increase in the number of patients being cared for and cured due to the advancement of modern medicine, an increase in the number of elderly people and the presence of a large number of newborns and children with weakened immune systems.

  • Introduction of new diagnostic and therapeutic procedures using complex technique, which requires special processing methods.

  • Underestimation of the problems of nosocomial infections and economic difficulties in the country.

  • The sanitary condition of medical institutions and the hygienic culture of both patients and staff, the effectiveness of disinfection measures and sterilization.

  • The state of catering and water supply.
The main goal of the national concept for the prevention of infections associated with the provision of health care is to define a strategy for the prevention of HCAI in order to reduce the incidence and associated disability, patient mortality, and social and economic damage. For this, it is necessary to develop theoretical basis management of HCAI and the introduction of scientifically sound system epidemiological surveillance and a complex of effective organizational, preventive, anti-epidemic and therapeutic and diagnostic measures.
Types of pathogens that cause nosocomial infection
Currently, about 100 nosological forms of nosological infections associated with more than 200 types of microorganisms have been described (bacteria - 90%; viruses, molds and yeast-like fungi, protozoa - 10%).

The causative agents of nosocomial infections, depending on the degree of pathogenicity for humans, are divided into two groups:


  1. obligate pathogenic, which account for up to 15% of all nosocomial infections;

  2. opportunistic pathogens, which are the cause of 85% of nosocomial infections.
VBI Group obligate pathogenic nature presented parenteral viral hepatitis (B, C, D), the risk of infection with which exists in all types of hospitals. This group also includes salmonellosis, shigellosis, chlamydia, influenza, acute respiratory, acute intestinal viral infections, HIV infection, herpetic and etc.

Obligate pathogenic microorganisms have factors of active penetration into the internal environment and suppression of the body's defenses, they release exotoxins. The development of the epidemic process of nosocomial infection caused by obligate pathogenic microorganisms occurs more often as a result of the introduction of infection into the hospital from the outside due to non-compliance with the anti-epidemic regimen.

The bulk of the nosocomial infections at the present stage is called opportunistic pathogens. These include representatives of the following genera of microorganisms:

a) Gram-positive bacteria: aureus and epidermal staphylococci(up to 60% of all cases of nosocomial infections), streptococci and etc.; b) Gram-negative bacteria: Enterococcus, Escherichia, Klebsiella, Proteus, Citrobacter, Pseudomonas and others (Fig. 6).

Most types of opportunistic microorganisms are normal inhabitants of the skin, mucous membranes, intestines, and are observed in all or many people and in large quantities, without pathogenic effects on a healthy organism. They are often found in water, soil, food products, on objects and other objects external environment. Opportunistic microorganisms cause disease in weakened people when they enter normally sterile cavities and tissues in an unusually large infectious dose. The term "purulent-septic infections" is often used for them.

The emergence and spread of diseases caused by opportunistic microorganisms are entirely determined by causes that act only in hospital conditions. A pathogen of a certain type, adapted to the specific conditions of a hospital, resistant to therapeutic and disinfection-sterilization measures is called hospital strain.

Characteristics of causative agents of nosocomial infectionsby localization

pathological process
VBI of the urinary tract. Most commonly caused by Gram-negative bacteria ( E. coli, Klebsiella, Proteus, Serration, Pseudomonas etc.), among gram-positive there are enterococci, staphylococci, group B streptococci. Urinary catheters are the main factor in urinary tract infection. The risk of infection increases with the length of time the catheter is in the urethra.

Respiratory infections. Previously, the main reason was considered streptococci and staphylococci, there is now a clear predominance Gram-negative bacteria, and nosocomial pneumonia caused by these pathogens is more severe than those caused by gram-positive ones, with a mortality rate of up to 50%. At present, there is no doubt that the causative agent of pneumonia is legionella. Sporadic outbreaks of nosocomial pneumonia can cause acinetobacter, pseudomonas. Pneumonia caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. A predisposing factor for pneumonia is endotracheal intubation. The risk of pneumonia after surgical interventions is high.

Surgical area infections. The leading role in the development of these infections (up to 15% of all nosocomial infections) is played by the banal cutaneous endoflora ( staphylococci, enterococci others); in debilitated and elderly patients, mixed infections are often observed (a combination of several pathogens of a specific infection). In burn hospitals, the leading causative agent of nosocomial infections also remains Staphylococcus aureus, In second place - Pseudomonas aeruginosa and enterobacteria.

Infections of the digestive tract. The causative agents of nosocomial gastroenteritis are salmonella, shigella, coli, aeromonads, campylobacter.

bacteremia and sepsis. Bacteremia is most often caused enterobacteria, These include: coli, klebsiella, enterobacter, serration, Proteus, besides, pseudomonads. The primary sources of infection are often the gastrointestinal tract, the genitourinary system and the skin. Predisposing factors are surgical interventions, medical manipulations.

Among gram-positive pathogens, the main one is Staphylococcus aureus, less often epidermal and saprophytic. The cause is abscesses of the skin. Contamination occurs through various medical instruments.

Methods of transmission of some causative agents of nosocomial infections

Visitors often bring food to the sick. In general, this is not prohibited, but there is a list of what cannot be brought. This must be controlled by employees. At the same time, you must remain polite and courteous. Their task is to protect the patient from the harm that a visitor can unintentionally inflict on him. For example, he can talk for a long time, not noticing that the patient is tired of talking and wants to rest.

Evening duties of a junior nurse

The patient's day ends with dinner and treatments. After the last meal, the third wet cleaning of the room is done. During cleaning, do not forget to ventilate the room. In addition to cleaning, the junior nurse must help her colleagues in performing the necessary medical and sanitary procedures. When patients fall asleep, she controls their sleep.

In order to maintain a restful sleep for patients, the ward must be quiet. Therefore, telephones are not placed next to the beds of patients. Sound sirens are replaced by light alarms. The furniture is equipped with rubber feet so that it can be moved silently. During sleep, no cleaning is carried out, and medical procedures, if they are not urgent, are postponed until morning. If something bothers the patient at night and you need to turn on the light, then he can turn on the nightlight.

Requirements for a candidate for the position of a junior nurse

In order to qualify, you need to have a secondary (complete) education and take courses. These may be refresher courses or retraining courses. The duration of the course is at least 16 hours. Work experience is not required. This is due to the fact that the necessary theoretical base and work skills are acquired already in the learning process.

The position of "junior nurse for patient care" is accepted by specialists who have completed one of two courses:

  • advanced training courses, duration - 16 hours
  • professional retraining program, duration - 250 hours.

  • the applicant received basic general education. Then the training period will be 2 years 10 months.

The duration of training in the future may decrease or increase. It depends on how the general standard in education changes. For example, remote learning is now actively developing. Perhaps new technologies will significantly change the approach to training young professionals. The level of training when applying for a job may be different. Later, when moving along career ladder the person with the best level of education will have an advantage.
