Discussion with Melanie Hyte: How COVID-19 Impacted CAUTI and CLABSI Rates in Alabama We recently came across a fascinating study by Melanie Hyte, PharmD, BCIDP and colleagues published in the American Journal of Infection Control (AJIC). Their research sheds light on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare-associated infections in Alabama hospitals.Key findings:• Pre-pandemic: Significant decrease in CAUTI (7% per year) and CLABSI (13% per year) rates from 2015-2019. • During pandemic: Alarming increase in CAUTI (29% per year) and CLABSI (35% per year) rates starting in 2020.The study highlights the challenges faced by healthcare systems during the pandemic: - High volume of critically ill patients - Resource depletion - Staffing shortages - Potential impact on infection prevention practices This research underscores the need for robust infection prevention strategies, especially during healthcare crises. It's a must-read for healthcare professionals and administrators focused on improving patient outcomes and quality of care. #HealthcareResearch #InfectionPrevention #COVID19Impact #PatientSafety

Sharing insights from our comprehensive conference on infections in critical care, hosted by Kauvery Hospital Vadapalani at the Hablis Hotel on the 27th April 2024. With a diverse spectrum of topics ranging from MDR Infections in ICU to Solid Organ Transplant Peri-Transplant Infections, our event brought together experts and practitioners to delve into crucial aspects of patient care. Addressing pressing issues such as Empirical Antibiotic Choice, ARDS, Antimicrobial Stewardship, and Fever management in ICU settings, our discussions aimed at enhancing patient outcomes and advancing healthcare practices. With dedicated sessions on ECMO and Sepsis, as well as Fungal Infections in Critical Care, our conference underscored the importance of multidisciplinary approaches in combating infectious challenges. With an engaging audience of over 140 attendees, including medical professionals, researchers, and healthcare enthusiasts, our discussions were enriched by diverse perspectives and experiences. Additionally, the participation of 30 quiz groups, comprising PG students, added an interactive dimension to the conference. Together, we explored strategies for infection control, shared best practices, and highlighted the evolving landscape of critical care medicine. As we continue to navigate complexities in healthcare, our collective efforts in knowledge exchange and collaboration are pivotal for delivering excellence in critical care. #KauveryHospital #Conference #InfectionsInCriticalCare #CriticalCare #Emergency #Healthcare #InfectionControl

An Evaluation of Antimicrobial Prophylaxis for Transrectal Prostate Biopsies; a Potential Stewardship Target ____________________________________________________ Results of New study suggest a need for guideline adherence. There was no benefit to using the guideline-discordant regimens as they were not associated with a decreased risk of infection, and in many cases exposed patients to unnecessarily broad and prolonged antibiotic regimens.
