ObjectiveTo learn the current situation and feature of nosocomial infection (NI), so as to provide reference for making the prevention measures. MethodsPrevalence rate of nosocomial infection in patients hospitalized on December 18, 2012 was investigated by the combination of bed-side examination and medical record checking. ResultsA total of 1 083 patients were surveyed, and the prevalence rate of nosocomial infection was 6.00%. Intensive Care Unit had the highest NI prevalence (28.57%), followed by Hematology Department (20.00%) and Neurosurgery Department (20.00%). Lower respiratory tract (38.46%) was the main infection site, followed by superficial surgical incision (13.85%). The usage rate of antimicrobial agents was 30.56%, and 40 strains of pathogens were isolated, in which Klebsiella pneumonia (15.0%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (12.5%) and Escherichia coli (10.0%) were the main ones. ConclusionTarget monitoring management of key departments and key sites should be strengthened, and the management of antimicrobial agents should be stressed and invasive procedures should be decreased.
