Abstract

Nosocomial INFECTIONs can elongate the duration of admission and increased mortality rate. The study and comparison of common microbial INFECTION in ICU will lead to decrease the financial load of hospitals. The poisoning center ICU in Loghman Hospital is the sole poisoning center in Tehran, so the study and comparison of INFECTION between toxic ICU and general ICU, advocate noticeable information.The survey had conducted in descriptive, cross sectional method. We gathered 46 site samples in each of the two ICU'S. The samples extracted in a random order from environment and instruments of ICU. We examined 3 times (every 45 days, one sample gathering). The samples were placed in Stewart media, then inoculated into McConkey and blood agar media. Colony count greater than 5 considered significant.The rate of INFECTION was 83% in toxic center and 96% in general ICU. That respectively 44% and 52% was gram negative. Coagulase positive staph, acinetobacter, bacillus and pseudomonas were the most prevalent organisms. According to this survey the rate of INFECTION in general ICU was not significantly greater than the other one. But variety of microorganisms was higher in toxic center ICU. In this study we found that pattern of resistance to Ceftazidim is very high and using of Ciprofloxacin could be a good alternative. Continuous study of microbial surveillance, microbial INFECTION and anti-microbial resistant pattern in ICU, seems necessary.
