- Safe
Significance
ARO can cause significant morbidity and mortality. The spread of these organisms can be decreased with good hand hygiene and antibiotic stewardship.
Sampling Plan / Procedure
100 % of all patients will be monitored for acquired resistant organisms to antibiotics.
Includion Criteria
All
Exclusion Criteria
None
Frequency
- Recorded once per patient
- On quarterly basis based on discharge dates, tabulate the number of cases on acquired and total number of patient days or Total ICU_LOS in Length of Stay (ICU Report)
Definition and Derivation
Identification of new MRSA, VRE or ESBL colonization in ICU patient
Is it still defined just around those? Should it now be defined around Category:Antibiotic resistance? |
New ARO Colonization per 1000 ICU patient days
Is it really only colonization, or does/should this include infections? Category:Antibiotic resistance? |
