A Multidisciplinary-Based and Bundle Intervention for Controlling Carbapenem-Resistant Organisms in Neurosurgery by Zhu W, Liang Y, Xu J, Weng C

“…After the implementation of PDCA cycle management, the measures including timely completion of multi-drug resistance prevention and control registration, and issuance of contact precaution orders, were significantly improved (p < 0.05). The total detection rate of CRO strains was 52.25%, which was significantly lower than 66.45% before intervention (RR = 0.786; 95% CI, 0.678– 0.912; p < 0.05), and the incidence density of patients infected or colonized with CROs showed significant decrease from 18.75 per 1000 patient-days to 15.09 per 1000 patient-days (IRR = 0.563; 95% CI, 0.449– 0.707; p < 0.05).Conclusion: The multidisciplinary and bundle interventions based on PDCA cycle management tool had a good effect on the prevention and control of CROs in neurosurgery.Keywords: PDCA, carbapenem-resistant organisms, neurosurgery, intervention…”
