  1. Group 4Infection & Patient Visibility

  2. Infection Case Study Hip hemiarthroplasty after displaced femoral neck fracture: a survivorship analysis • Femoral neck fracture – broken knee joint • Total Hip Arthroplasty – Yes….better results for patients than internal fixation and hemiarthroplasty. • Some Results for age group 60 + differ from this: “0-35 % dislocation cases” – quite high • REASON ? Major one is comorbidities!

  3. Infection Case Study Biomarkers as a Tool for Management of Immunosuppression in Transplant Patients • Immuno-suppressive drugs • Without immunosuppression therapy, transplatationsurgery could be fatal. • Therapeutic drug monitoring – DOES NOT reflect adverse effects to immune cells. • Pharmacodynamicmonitoring (biomarkers)

  4. Infection Case Study Problem of infection in the ICU • Infections possible - ventilator-associated pneumonia, catheter-associated urinary tract infection, catheter-related bloodstream infection • Need to be attentive to horizontal infection and use proper antibiotics for multi-resistant bacteria like MRSA.

  5. Infections in the ICU • Managing infection in the critical care unit: how can infection control make the ICU safe? • Infection Control in the ICU • Device Related Nosocomial Infection In ICU

  6. Types of Infections Antibiotic Resistance Pathogens Ventilator Associated Pneumonia Catheter-related Infections

  7. Example: Ventilator Associated Pneumonia • Modifiable • Frequency of ventilator circuit changes • Antibiotic usage • Nonmodifiable • Patient age and gender • Severity of illness • Coma Risk Factors Prevention Bronchoscopic techniques Nonbronchoscopic techniques Balance between initial antibiotic and overuse
