Risk factors for KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae enteric colonization upon ICU admission.
OBJECTIVES To identify risk factors for KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPC-Kp) enteric colonization at intensive care unit (ICU) admission. Recently, the emergence and spread of KPC-producing Enterobacteriaceae in healthcare facilities has become an important issue. Understanding the extent of the reservoir in ICUs may be important for targeted intervention. METHODS A prospective observ...
متن کاملICU admission and severity assessment in community-acquired pneumonia
The past 15 years have seen major advances in our understanding of severity assessment in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Prognostic tools have been promoted to guide all major management decisions in CAP, including admission to the critical care unit. Several recent studies, including the study by Renaud and colleagues, have challenged us to re-evaluate how we consider severe CAP, a concep...
متن کاملEtiology and diagnosis of pneumonia requiring ICU admission.
The spectrum of pathogens and the microbiologic investigations used to obtain a diagnosis in 178 patients with severe pneumonia (88 percent requiring intermittent positive-pressure ventilation) are reviewed. Ninety-five patients had primary pneumonia, 31 had nosocomial pneumonia, 24 were immunocompromised patients, and 28 had aspiration pneumonia. While the spectrum of isolates conformed to the...
متن کاملRates and risk factors associated with hospitalization for pneumonia with ICU admission among adults
BACKGROUND Pneumonia poses a significant burden to the U.S. health-care system. However, there are few data focusing on severe pneumonia, particularly cases of pneumonia associated with specialized care in intensive care units (ICU). METHODS We used administrative and electronic medical record data from six integrated health care systems to estimate rates of pneumonia hospitalizations with IC...
متن کاملPersistent lymphopenia is a risk factor for ICU-acquired infections and for death in ICU patients with sustained hypotension at admission
BACKGROUND Severely ill patients might develop an alteration of their immune system called post-aggressive immunosuppression. We sought to assess the risk of ICU-acquired infection and of mortality according to the absolute lymphocyte count at ICU admission and its changes over 3 days. METHODS Adults in ICU for at least 3 days with a shock or persistent low blood pressure were extracted from ...
