7 intensiv-care-units (I.U.C.) were compared by analysing the charts of 100 patients from each station. They showed remarkable differences concerning the diagnosis of admittance, age and other factors related to the risk of infection. Consequently, kind and number of intensive care related medical procedures, the use of antibiotics, the duration of the patients stay on the station and the death rate differed widely. Some criteria concerning the layout, personnel, organisation and therapy on I.C.U. are named, which are mainly related to the patients condition and to the thereby given risk of infection.
通过分析来自每个科室的100名患者的病历,对7个重症监护病房(ICU)进行了比较。结果显示,在入院诊断、年龄以及其他与感染风险相关的因素方面,各科室存在显著差异。因此,与重症监护相关的医疗程序的种类和数量、抗生素的使用、患者在科室的停留时间以及死亡率也有很大差异。文中还列举了一些关于ICU布局、人员配备、组织管理和治疗的标准,这些标准主要与患者病情以及由此产生的感染风险相关。
