Résumé
Our neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) saw an increase in Staphylococcus aureus (SA) infections-methicillin-resistant SA (MRSA) infections increased from 2.1/10,000 patient days (PD) to 5.1/10,000 PD, and methicillin-sensitive SA (MSSA) infections from 1.2/10,000 PD to 3.9/10,000 PD. This quality improvement project aimed to decrease the rates of SA infections to less than 2.0/10,000 PD, and to determine the rate of SA decolonization. Infection prevention interventions targeted patient factors (SA surveillance, patient cohorting, decolonization protocol), provider factors (provider cohorting, enhanced hand hygiene) and environmental factors (room structure, equipment optimization). The rates of MRSA and MSSA infections decreased to 0.6/10,000 PD and 0.7 infections/10,000 PD respectively. Persistent decolonization of SA was successful in 67% of colonized patients. Specific interventions targeting patient, provider, and environmental factors, including the implementation of a SA decolonization protocol, were successful in decreasing the incidence of SA infections in neonates.
