As part of efforts to combat AMR, the World Health Organization has identified Antimicrobial Stewardship as one of the strategic objectives of its global action plan on antimicrobial resistance. This survey aimed to observe antimicrobial prescribing and usage patterns in the Rivers State University Teaching Hospital with the purpose of identifying gaps to inform the specific antimicrobial stewardship interventions necessary to address our specific needs. Methodology: A point prevalence survey was conducted using the protocol and web-based automated data management system designed by the Global Point Prevalence Survey of Antimicrobial Consumption and Resistance, University of Antwerp, Belgium, in November 2021. Results: A total of 69 adult medical and surgical patients were surveyed;27 males and 18 females. Antimicrobial prevalence was 65.2%. Third generation cephalosporins (24.4%;33.3%), fluoroquinolones (17.8%;22.2%) and imidazole derivatives (20%;36.1%) were most prescribed on the medical and surgical wards. Antimicrobial guidelines were completely unavailable, most antimicrobials (93.8%) were prescribed empirically and 64.4% of these remained empirical after 72 hours of commencement. Conclusion: Antimicrobial stewardship interventions are necessary to minimize sub-optimal antimicrobial prescribing practices in our facility. Most critical are education on appropriate use of antimicrobials, support for development of antimicrobial guidelines, diagnostic stewardship, and the drive for improved use of the laboratory to guide antimicrobial prescriptions. The antimicrobial stewardship committee and team must drive this, having the requisite support from the management and prescribers, with the primary outcomes being reduced antimicrobial prevalence and improved antimicrobial prescription patterns.展开更多

When these infections occur in patients in intensive care units, they are associated with a high mortality rate, additional hospital days and excess hospital costs. Because of multifactor of nosocomial BSIs, measurements of control nosocomial BSIs are wide variety and lead to some confusion in practice. The aim of this study was to explore special way in accordance with self-hospital base on common principle. Methods In one ward of the Intensive Care Unit, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, at first, we divided the all operation about bloodstream way into three sections used as keypoints. By surveying keypoints respectively, some operation faults of blood way were discovered. For decreasing the mobidity of nosocomial BSIs, some intervention measurements were executed. The rate of nosocomial BSIs was analyzed by chi-square test. Results According to the statistics from January to June, we received and cured 618 patients in total; among them, there were 13 cases of nosocomial BSI and the average occurrence was 2.3 cases/month. After intervention measurements from July to December 2011, we received and cured 639 patients in total with seven cases of nosocomial BSI, and the average occurrence was 1.2 cases/month （P 〈0.05）. From January to April 2012, no nosocomial BSI occurred in the investigated ward. Conclusion Removing the operation faults of bloodstream way might decrease the nosocomial BSI rapidly and efficiently by utilizing a key point survey.展开更多
