Patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are at increased risk of infection. We present the first known report of nosocomial infection with Cupriavidus pauculus attributable to contamination from ECMO equipment and describe the measures taken to halt subsequent infections. A cluster of infections in ECMO patients should prompt team members to consider contamination of equipment with environmental pathogens as a possible cause.
接受体外膜肺氧合 (ECMO) 的患者感染风险增加。我们报告了首例归因于 ECMO 设备污染的铜绿假单胞菌院内感染,并描述了为阻止后续感染而采取的措施。在 ECMO 患者中出现感染群时,应促使团队成员考虑设备是否被环境病原体污染,这可能是感染的原因之一。
