Infection Control in the ICU

Health care workers must understand the serious consequences of infections acquired in the intensive care unit (ICU). The financial, medical, and social costs to hospitals and patients are enormous. Implementing and enforcing strict infection control measures is necessary to reduce the rate of ICU-acquired infections. It is imperative to use a multimodal approach that includes ongoing staff education programs, daily reassessments-intervention bundles, antimicrobial stewardship programs, infection prevention committees, and risk factor identification and minimization. A developing field of study in critical care is infection control in the intensive care unit.
