Objectives: Healthcare-associated infections are the most common problem in intensive care unit worldwide. Children with congenital heart diseases have many complications such as developmental problems, respiratory tract infections, endocarditis,pneumonia and after long-term hospital and intensive care stays and surgeries patients become vulnerable to healthcare-associated infections. Patients and Methods: The study presents the frequency of infection, microorganisms in patients hospitalized at SBÜ Koşuyolu High Spesialization Research and Training Hospital pediatric cardiovascular surgery intensive care unit between 2016-2020. Results: One hundred-eight HAI episodes were seen in 83 of 1920 patients hospitalized in pediatric cardiovascular surgery intensive care unit between 2016-2020.HAI rates varied between 4.8% and 7.77%. In the 5-year period,a total of 118 different microorganisms were detected.Among all microorganisms, Candida species (n: 43, 36.4%) ranked first. central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) 53 (49%), ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP)40 (37%), surgical site infection (SSI) 8 (6.5%), catheter -associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) 7 (6%) Conclusion: Healthcare-associated infections are require special attention in pediatric cardiovascular intensive care units. In order to prevent, innovations such as bundle applications should be implemented as well as personnel training.

Hand Massage

BackgroundIn intensive care environments, patients’ families are often encouraged to participate in their loved one’s care; however, many family members feel anxious, depressed, and unsure about how to help patients.ObjectivesTo determine (1) the feasibility of teaching family members a simple intervention combining hand massage with essential oils in a trauma intensive care unit and (2) an effect size for use in designing a more powerful trial.MethodA quasi-experimental pilot study of the effect of a family-delivered touch treatment on anxiety and depression of family members of patients. Fifteen family members were assigned to a treatment group, and 15 family members were assigned to a control group. The treatment consisted of the application of hand massage with essential oils for 6 sessions. Each session lasted 5 minutes and was presented twice a day for 3 days.ResultsThe 5-minute intervention was associated with positive change in anxiety and depression scores on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) among family members visiting patients. The magnitude of change (improvement) in anxiety scores within the group of treated family members was significantly greater than within family members in the control group.ConclusionAdministering a brief hand massage using pleasant-smelling oils to patients in an intensive care unit may reduce anxiety of family members who administer the treatment.

Icu Discharge

IntroductionThe ongoing pandemic could affect the duration, variety and severity of the mental, physical, and cognitive impairments intensive care unit (ICU) survivors and their families frequently present. We aim to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental, physical, and cognitive health of survivors, the experience of their families and their treating healthcare professionals.Methods and analysisProspective, multicentre, mixed-methods cohort study in seven Chilean ICUs. Sample: 450 adults, able to walk independently prior to admission, in ICU and mechanical ventilation >48 hours with and without COVID-19. Clinical Frailty Scale, Charlson comorbidity index, mobility (Functional Status Score for the Status Score for the Intensive Care Unit) and muscle strength (Medical Research Council Sum Score) will be assessed at ICU discharge. Cognitive functioning (Montreal Cognitive Assessment–blind), anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), post-traumatic stress (Impact of Event Scale-Revised) symptoms, disability (WHO Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0), quality of life (European Quality of Life Health Questionnaire), employment and survival will be assessed at ICU discharge, 3 months and 6 months. A sample will be assessed using actigraphy and the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire at 6 months after ICU discharge. Trajectories of mental, physical, and cognitive impairments will be estimated using multilevel longitudinal modelling. A sensitivity analysis using multiple imputations will be performed to account for missing data and loss-to-follow-up. Survival will be analysed using Kaplan-Meier curves. The perceptions of family members regarding the ICU stay and the later recovery will be explored 3 months after discharge. Healthcare professionals will be invited to discuss the challenges faced during the pandemic using semistructured interviews. Interviews will be thematically analysed by two independent coders to identify the main themes of the experience of family members and healthcare professionals.Ethics and disseminationThe study was approved by the Clinica Alemana Universidad del Desarrollo Ethics Committee (2020–78) and each participating site. Study findings will be published in peer-reviewed journals and disseminated through social media and conference meetings.Trial registration numberNCT04979897.
