Decontamination of the digestive tract and oropharynx: hospital acquired infections after discharge from the intensive care unit.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To determine the incidence rates of hospital acquired infections (HAI) during the first 14 days after ICU discharge after treatment during ICU-stay with Selective Decontamination of the Digestive tract (SDD), Selective Oropharyngeal Decontamination (SOD) or Standard Care (SC). DESIGN:Prospective observational study. SETTING:ICUs in two tertiary care hospitals. PATIENTS:Patients discharged from the ICU to the ward. INTERVENTIONS:None. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS:Post-ICU incidences of HAI per 1,000 days at risk were 11.2, 12.9 and 8.3 for patients that had received SDD (n = 296), SOD (n = 286) or SC (n = 289) respectively in ICU, yielding relative risks, as compared to SC, of 1.49 (CI(95) 0.9-2.47) for SOD and 1.44 (CI(95) 0.87-2.39) for SDD. Incidences of surgical site infections (per 100 surgical procedures) were 4 after SC and 11.8 and 8 after SOD and SDD (p = 0.04). Among patients that succumbed in the hospital after ICU-stay (n = 58) eight (14%) had developed HAI after ICU discharge; 3 of 21 after SDD, 3 of 15 after SOD and 2 of 22 after SC. CONCLUSIONS:Incidences of HAI in general wards tended to be higher in patients that had received either SDD or SOD during ICU-stay, but it seems unlikely that these infections have an effect on hospital mortality rates.
