Standard Precautions Versus Contact Additional Precautions Against Multi-drug Resistant Bacteria in Intensive Care Unit (PSBMR)

Are Standard Precautions as Efficient as Contact Additional Precautions Against the Transmission of Multi-drug Resistant Bacteria in Intensive Care Unit ?

The national recommendations promote the applying of the Contact Additional Precautions (CAP) with the Standard Precautions (SP) to limit the transmission of multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria. However, that could entail more costs and a reduction of quality of the patient care.

The national recommendations promote the applying of the Contact Additional Precautions (CAP) with the Standard Precautions (SP) to limit the transmission of multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria. However, that could entail more costs and a reduction of quality of the patient care.

This study seeks showing it in way of a non-interventional research in a resuscitation unit. Two periods are compared for noticing the rates of MDR bacteria contaminations.

Inclusion Criteria:

• hospitalization in resuscitation unit

Exclusion Criteria:

• opposition for gathering data
