Zusammenfassung

Die Prävention von Infektionen ist die Aufgabe von Hygiene und geeignete Maßnahmen und Strategien sollen dies insbesondere auf Intensivstationen mit ihrer multimorbiden Patientenklientel leisten. Die stetige Zunahme sog. multiresistenter Erreger (MRE), die zu schwierig mit den gängigen Antibiotika behandelbaren Infektionen führen können, zeigt die Bedeutung von Prävention evident. Hinzu kommt, dass in der Ära der Qualitätsmedizin der Erfolg oder Misserfolg von Hygienemaßnahmen zu den wenigen sicher dokumentierbaren Qualitätsmarkern gehört und somit ein entscheidender Punkt für die Bewertung von Krankenhäusern geworden ist. Somit ist es durchaus ratsam, sich den Herausforderungen zu stellen und Hygienemaßnahmen als unverzichtbaren und essenziellen Beitrag für das Krankenhaus zu begreifen. In diesem Beitrag werden zentrale Themen einer modernen Prävention vorgestellt.

Abstract

The prevention of infections is the purpose of hospital hygiene/infection control using control and preventive measures and strategies to achieve this. Especially in intensive care units with seriously ill patients. The continuous increase of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) and as a consequence difficult to treat infections clearly shows the importance of prevention. Furthermore success and failure of hygienic/infection control activities is one of the few measurable quality and performance characteristics in the era of quality medicine and is therefore crucial for the evaluation of hospitals. Consequently it is recommended to meet the challenges and understand hygienic/infection control measures as vital and essential for the hospital. Central topics of present-day prevention are presented.
