Abstract:

Human infections with Ehrlichia species have been found worldwide. It appears that at least six different species infect humans, and clinical and epidemiological data are highly suggestive of sole transmission by ticks. The clinical illness is a nonspecific febrile syndrome, often accompanied by cytopenias, abnormal liver enzymes, and “aseptic” meningitis. When diagnosis is delayed, it is occasionally fatal. Currently, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique is the most rapid technique to confirm the clinical diagnosis. The infection is responsive to tetracyclines and chloramphenicol. Increased physician awareness, readily available rapid diagnostic techniques, and tick-bite preventive measures will help lessen the impact of this infection.

Abstract:

Neuraxial techniques for obstetric analgesia and anaesthesia are widespread, and serious complications are extremely rare. The most common of all complications following neuraxial blockade is postdural puncture headache, but headache may also be present in pathological conditions such as pre-eclampsia and sinus vein thrombosis. Headache may also be a symptom of cranial subdural haematoma, meningitis, and epidural abscess, all rare complications of central blockade, thus introducing a potential confounder in the newly delivered woman complaining of headache. Vertebral spinal haematomas are extremely rare in the healthy obstetric patient, but haemostatic disorders might develop following placement of an epidural catheter, thus increasing the possibility of spinal haematomas. Anaesthetists must be familiar with these rare complications, and perform neuraxial blockade avoiding traumatic damage, and using aseptic techniques. The anaesthetist will be involved in diagnosing a woman with neurological symptoms after labour and delivery, and must be familiar with common intrinsic obstetric neuropathies and clinical diagnostic procedures. This chapter describes complications following neuraxial blockade, as well as preventive and diagnostic procedures.

Abstract:

Infection prevention, control, and treatment are vital elements of all healthcare environments. The nurse should have a good working knowledge of policies and procedures to ensure patients are cared for in a clean and appropriate environment. The surgical patient is at risk of developing infections, particularly surgical site infections. Most infections are preventable, and measures should be taken at every stage of a patient’s care to reduce the risk of infection.This chapter discusses infection prevention, control, and treatment, including key policies and procedures in the United Kingdom. It provides an overview of microbiology, aseptic technique, antibiotic therapy, and cleanliness standards.

Abstract:

♦ Total hip replacements (THRs) may fail in various ways. They may become infected, they may be subject to aseptic loosening, they may dislocate, or a periprosthetic fracture may occur. The patient with a failed THR must be thoroughly assessed before treatment is contemplated♦ Infection may be acute or chronic. Assessment involves clinical assessment, plain radiographs, blood tests (C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate), hip aspiration, and, sometimes, nuclear medicine. The acutely infected hip may be treated with one-stage revision. This involves thorough lavage, debridement, and exchange of all modular components as well as long-term antibiotic therapy. The gold standard of treatment for a chronically infected THR is a two-stage revision. Success rates of 80–90% can be expected♦ Aseptic loosening typically occurs at the cement bone interface in hips where a metal-on-polyethylene bearing couple has been used. Bone resorption takes place as a result of an inflammatory response to small wear particles. After infection has been excluded the treatment of choice is a single-stage revision♦ Dislocation may be the result of patient factors, implant factors, or poor surgical technique. It is imperative for the clinician to minimize the risk by selecting patients carefully, using the correct combination of implants and performing surgery accurately♦ The management of periprosthetic fractures depends on how well the implants are fixed and quality of bone stock. Treatment ranges from simple fixation of the fracture through to revision augmented with strut allograft.

Full text

Abstract:

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) account for the majority of hospital-acquired infections (HAI), and most of these occur in catheterized patients. However, for most the presence of bacteria in the urine (bacteriuria) is asymptomatic, yet in many institutional and national surveillance studies it is still attributed as ‘infection’. Although guidance is that only symptomatic UTI should be treated, except in pregnancy, bacteriuria in catheterized patients is frequently overinvestigated and antibiotics overused. Most infections are caused by enteric bacteria such as Escherichia coli, but other bacteria such as Proteus mirabilis and staphylococci are more prominent in HAI. Aseptic technique for catheter insertion and during subsequent catheter care together with minimizing catheter duration are very important to prevent catheter-associated UTI (CAUTI). Prophylactic antibiotics should be avoided. National and international action to adopt evidence-based consensus protocols for management of catheterized patients and judicial use of antimicrobial chemotherapy promise to be of greatest benefit.

Abstract:

Many patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) suffer from health care-associated infections. Age, immunosuppression, neutropenia, or multi-organ failure are preconditions, but health care-associated infections are largely related to the use of medical devices. Breaches of aseptic technique are the most important risk factor. Central line-associated bloodstream infections, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and catheter-associated urinary tract infections represent up to 75% of all health care-associated infections in the ICU. Ease of diagnosis and effective prevention strategies make the central line-associated bloodstream infection a model of how to diagnose, treat, and prevent health care-associated infections. Identification of ventilator-associated pneumonia is less straightforward and suffers from inconsistent definitions, making surveillance and benchmarking difficult. Catheter-associated urinary tract infection is underestimated in the ICU because clinical signs cannot be assessed in sedated patients. Antibiotic overuse in the ICU selects for multidrug-resistant micro-organisms and thus, broad-spectrum antibiotics must be used to offer empiric treatment of health care-associated infections. Accurate microbiology testing aiming at isolating causative micro-organisms is key to de-escalate antibiotic therapy. Health care-associated infections are preventable, many factors. Successful prevention programmes offer a comprehensive protocol, follow a multidisciplinary approach in preparation, and a multimodal training and education programme in implementation.
