Healthcare Associated Infections
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) represent a significant challenge within healthcare settings, posing risks to patients, healthcare workers, and public health. These infections occur during the course of medical treatment and can result from various factors such as invasive procedures, medical devices, or exposure to healthcare environments harboring infectious agents. Common examples of HAIs include surgical site infections, catheter-associated urinary tract infections, and ventilator-associated pneumonia. Preventing HAIs requires a multifaceted approach, including stringent infection control practices, appropriate antimicrobial stewardship, and surveillance to monitor infection rates and identify potential outbreaks. By implementing comprehensive prevention strategies, healthcare facilities can mitigate the risk of HAIs and improve patient safety outcomes.
