Nosocomial Infections

Nosocomial Infections

Nosocomial infections, also known as healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), are infections that individuals acquire during the course of receiving medical treatment in a healthcare facility. These infections can occur in hospitals, clinics, or other healthcare settings and are often associated with invasive medical procedures, the use of medical devices, or exposure to healthcare personnel. Common types of nosocomial infections include urinary tract infections, surgical site infections, bloodstream infections, and respiratory infections. These infections pose a significant risk to patients, especially those with weakened immune systems or underlying health conditions. Several factors contribute to the occurrence of nosocomial infections, including the presence of drug-resistant bacteria, inadequate infection control practices, and compromised patient immunity. Preventive measures involve strict adherence to infection control protocols, proper hand hygiene, sterilization of medical equipment, and judicious use of antibiotics to reduce the risk of bacterial resistance. Healthcare professionals play a crucial role in preventing nosocomial infections by maintaining a clean and hygienic environment, using protective measures such as gloves and masks, and following established protocols for patient care. Surveillance programs and continuous monitoring help identify and address potential sources of infection within healthcare facilities.
