To assess the effect of open radiant heaters on bacterial colonization of neonates, 24 infants were raised under radiant heaters and 34 in standard incubators. Cultures of the nose, groin, and umbilicus were taken daily for the first 3 days of life. For infants raised in incubators, colonization rates with Staph. aureus ranged up to 47%. Among infants raised under radiant heaters (8 of whom had topical antibiotics applied to the umbilicus), only one was colonized with this organism. Even if the 8 treated infants were excluded, the prevalence of Staph. aureus was significantly greater at the umbilicus and groin in infants raised in incubators.
为评估开放式辐射保暖器对新生儿细菌定植的影响,24名婴儿在辐射保暖器下养育,34名婴儿在标准培养箱中养育。在出生后的头3天,每天对婴儿的鼻腔、腹股沟和脐部进行培养。对于在培养箱中养育的婴儿,金黄色葡萄球菌的定植率高达47%。在辐射保暖器下养育的婴儿中(其中8名婴儿脐部使用了局部抗生素),只有1名婴儿被该菌定植。即使排除这8名接受治疗的婴儿,在培养箱中养育的婴儿脐部和腹股沟处金黄色葡萄球菌的感染率仍显著更高。
