神经重症病房疑似耐碳青霉烯类肺炎克雷伯菌感染暴发的调查与控制

Investigation and control of a suspected outbreak of healthcare acquired infection caused by carbapenem-resistant klebsiella pneumonia in intensive care unit of neurology department

目的调查某院神经重症病房一起疑似耐碳青霉烯类肺炎克雷伯菌(CRKP)感染暴发的原因,查找传染源与传播途径,为预防和控制医院感染的发生提供依据。方法对某院神经重症病房2020年8月4日—8月20日发生的4例CRKP感染患者进行流行病学调查以及病房环境卫生学监测,采取综合措施控制暴发流行。结果4例发生CRKP感染的患者均为医院感染,且分离菌株药敏试验结果一致,为相同克隆株。通过环境卫生学监测,分别从病人床旁物品,吸引装置,氧疗仪,医务人员随身用品的标本中检出了相同克隆株,采取综合整改措施后,未再出现新发CRKP感染病例,随后多次进行物表采样,未再分离出CRKP菌株。结论神经重症病房环境物表污染,消毒环节不到位可能是导致此次CRKP疑似感染暴发的主要原因,及时识别暴发,启动暴发应急预案,制定整改措施是控制多重耐药菌医院感染暴发的重中之重。

Objective To investigate the cause of a suspected outbreak of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae infection(CRKP)in the neurological ICU,to find out the reason for infection and the way of transmission to provide evidence for the prevention and control of nosocomial infection.Methods Four patients with CRKP infection in the department of neurological ICU of a hospital from August 4 to August 20,2020 were investigated epidemiologically and environmental hygiene monitoring of the ward was carried out.Comprehensive measures were taken to control the outbreak.Results All four CRKP infection cases were hospital-acquired,and the isolated strains showed consistent drug susceptibility test results,indicating they were the same clone.Environmental hygiene monitoring revealed the presence of the same clone in samples from patient bedside items,suction devices,oxygen therapy equipment,and personal belongings of healthcare workers.After implementing comprehensive corrective measures,no new cases of CRKP infection occurred,and subsequent surface sampling did not isolate any CRKP strains.Conclusion Environmental surface contamination in the neurointensive care unit and inadequate disinfection procedures were likely the main causes of the suspected outbreak of CRKP infection.Prompt identification of the outbreak,activation of emergency response plans,and implementation of corrective measures are crucial for controlling the outbreak of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections in hospitals.After adopting comprehensive measures,there were no new CRKP infection cases.
