1 Nosocomial and healthcare-associated infections David Lye FRACP, FAMS Senior consultant, Institute of Infectious Diseases and Epidemiology, Communicable Disease Centre, Tan Tock Seng Hospital Associate professor, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore

2 Definitions Hospital-acquired or healthcare-associated? Centre for Disease Control/National Healthcare Safety Network, January 2014 Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) Localized or systemic condition resulting from an adverse reaction to presence of an infectious agent(s) or its toxin(s) not present on admission to the acute care facility

3 Healthcare risk factors

4 Prevalence of healthcareassociated infections

5 183 hospitals patients 93.2%

6 83%

7 Nosocomial pneumonia

8 Nosocomial pneumonia (VAP HAP HCAP) Increased hospital stay by 7-9 days Excess cost >USD$40,000 25% of ICU infections >50% antibiotic use Attributable mortality 33-50%

9

10 HCAP vs.cap More MRSA (31%), Pseudomonas (26%), Non-fermenting GNB (10%), Other Enterobacteriaceae (9%) Less Pneumococcus, Haemophilus, Legionella

11 Risk factors and prevention General Hand hygiene and contact precaution to prevent crossinfection Mechanical ventilation Non-invasive ventilation, avoid intubation Continuous suction of subglottic secretions Endotrachel tube cuff pressure >20cm H20 Contaminated condensate emptied and prevented from entering ETT Sedation protocol to accelerate weaning Adequate ICU staffing Aspiration, body positioning, enteral feeding Semi-recumbent, degrees Enteral nutrition Colonisation Daily interruption of sedation and avoid paralytic agents Stress bleeding prophylaxis, transfusion and hyperglycaemia H2 antagonist or sucralfate Restricted transfusion trigger policy Insulin to maintain glucose mg/dl

12 Diagnosis CXR new or progressive Fever or leukocytosis Purulent sputum or desaturation CPIS 6 low probability of HAP

13 Culture-guided antibiotic therapy

14 Alternative diagnoses

15

16 Catheter-associated urinary tract infection

17 Catheter-associated UTI (CAUTI) 40% of HAI s 15-25% in general hospitals had urinary catheters for 2-4 days 5-10% nursing home residents had urinary catheters, some for years Bacteraemia 1-4% with mortality ~13% Extended length of stay 2 days Cost CAUTI USD$676, bacteraemia USD$2836

18

19 Extraluminal 66% GPC 79% GNB 54% Yeast 69%

20 Conditioning film of host urinary components Bacteria attach by hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions, and flagella Cell division, additional planktonic bacteria, extracellular matrix Loosely packed 3-D structure with fluid channels for nutrients and wastes Survival advantage: Resistance to sheer forces and phagocytosis Antimicrobial resistance

24 Silver alloy catheters A Cochrane Review of short-term urethral catheters in hospitalized adults: Silver alloy catheters significantly reduced asymptomatic bacteriuria in catheters inserted for less than (RR:0.54; 95%CI: 0.43 to 0.67) and more than one week (RR:0.64, 95%CI: 0.51 to 0.80) [Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2008;(2):CD004013] Confounding by comparators as benefit significantly reduced with different comparators In bacterial adherence study, no difference was found between silver alloy hydrogel urinary catheters and hydrogel catheters [Clin Infect Dis. 2010;51:550-60]

25 Antimicrobial-coated catheters Antimicrobial-coated urinary catheters including minocycline and rifampicin (RR:0.36; 95%CI: 0.18 to 0.73) and nitrofurazone (RR:0.52, 95%CI: 0.34 to 0.78) significantly reduced asymptomatic bacteriuria in catheters inserted for less than one week but not in those inserted for more than one week [Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2008;(2):CD004013]

26

27 Diagnostic criteria Urine culture or urinalysis was found to be nonspecific for CAUTI in 14 patients with long-term urinary catheters [Am J Infect Control. 1985;13: ] A study of 56 patients with spinal cord disorders: Cloudy urine had an accuracy of 83.1%, pyuria Sn 82.8%, and fever Sp 99% but Sn 6.9% for CAUTI [J Spinal Cord Med. 2009;32: ].

28 Urinalysis A study of 106 ICU patients: positive nitrite on urinalysis Sp 91.8% but Sn 29.5% Leukocyte esterase, white cells and presence of yeast or bacteria did not differentiate those with and without CAUTI [Intensive Care Med. 2006;32: ] A study of 144 ICU patients: combining leukocyte esterase and nitrite Sn 87.2%, Sp 61.6%, PPV 30.6% and NPV 96.1% [Intensive Care Med. 2001;27: ]

31 Evidence base: treatment In a randomised study of 119 women with CAUTI, resolution occurred in 36% without antibiotic, 81% with single dose co-trimoxazole and 79% with 10 days of co-trimoxazole, after removal of urinary catheters [Ann Intern Med. 1991;114:713 9] Another randomised study of 619 patients with pyelonephritis and complicated UTI of whom 68 had urinary catheters, 5 days of levofloxacin versus 10 days of ciprofloxacin resulted in microbiological eradication of 79% versus 53% in the subgroup of catheterised patients [Urology. 2008;71:17 22] In another randomised study of 60 spinal cord patients with predominantly intermittent catheterisation comparing 3 versus 14 days of ciprofloxacin, microbiological cure was lower, and microbiological and clinical relapse higher in the 3-day group; however clinical cure was similar [Clin Infect Dis. 2004;39:658 64]. In a randomised study of 54 patients with LT-UC in nursing home with CAUTI comparing replacement and non-replacement of urinary catheters before antibiotic, 93% in the group with replaced urinary catheters became afebrile by 72 hours [J Urol. 2000;164: ].

61 Pre-operative antibiotic prophylaxis ICHE 1999; 20: principles: Evidence of efficacy or effect of SSI catastrophic Antibiotic: safe, inexpensive, bactericidal, active against probable contaminants Time the infusion so bactericidal drug level in tissue and serum at skin incision Maintain therapeutic level until at most a few hours after incision is closed Indicated for all operations entering hollow viscus and clean operations where prosthetic material inserted or effect of SSI catastrophic Need for second dose depends on: tissue level by standard therapeutic dose, serum half life, MIC 90 of anticipated SSI pathogens Antibiotic given no more than 30 minutes before skin incision Vancomycin needs 1 hour infusion
