Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To observe the prevalence of
Acinetobacter baumannii infections in ICU of neurosurgery department and analyze the drug resistance of the
A.baumannii and the risk factors for the infections so as to provide guidance for clinical treatment.
METHODS A total of 995 patients who were hospitalized the ICU of neurosurgery department of Central Hospital of Jinhua City from Jan 2013 to Dec 2015 were recruited as the study objects, 101 patients who were infected with
A.baumannii were assigned as the infection group, and 101 patients who did not have nosocomial infections were set as the control group.The prevalence of
A.baumannii infections in the ICU of neurosurgery department, drug resistance, and status of use of antibiotics were statistically analyzed, the clinical data of the two groups of patients were observed and compared, and the risk factors for the
A.baumannii infections were analyzed.
RESULTS Of 995 hospitalized patients, 101 had the
A.baumannii infection, with the infection rate 10.2%.Totally 164 strains of
A.baumannii were isolated.Totally 76 (75.2%) patients had single
A.baumannii infections, and 25 (24.8%) patients had mixed infections.There were 52 (51.5%) patients with multidrug-resistant organisms infections and 35 (34.7%) patients with pandrug-resistant bacteria infections. The drug resistance rates of the
A.baumannii strains to gentamicin, tobramycin, ceftazidime, aztreonam, cefuroxime, cefotaxime, sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim, and cefoperazone were 91.5%, 90.2%, 88.4%, 83.5%, 80.5%, 75.6%, 72.6%, and 70.1%, respectively; the drug susceptibility rates to imipenem and meropenem were 75.6% and 73.8%, respectively.Among the 101 patients, 4 (4.0%) patients used 1 type of antibiotic, 8 (7.9%) patients used 2 types of antibiotics, 18 (17.8%) patients used 3 types of antibiotics, 20 (19.8%) patients used 4 types of antibiotics, and 51 (50.5%) patients used no less than 5 types of antibiotics.The proportions of the patients with the albumin level less than 35 g/L and the GCS score no more than 8 points were significantly higher in the infection group than in the control group (
P<0.05).The rates of mechanical ventilation and head drainage tube were higher in the infection group than in the control group.The albumin level, GCS score, and head drainage tube were the independent risk factors for the
A.baumannii infections (
P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe prevalence rate of
A.baumannii infections is relatively high in the ICU of neurosurgery department, and the
A.baumannii strains are highly drug-resistant.The albumin level, GCS score, and head drainage tube are the independent risk factors for the
A.baumannii infections.
