ABSTRACT

Objective: To describe the incidence rates of invasive methods-associated infections at the National Institute of Pediatrics.
Material and methods: A prospective, descriptive, observational study of the epidemiological monitoring nosocomial infection at the National Institute of Pediatrics, using nosocomial infection site definition of project of Mexican Official Norm for the Monitoring and Control of Hospital-acquired Infections 2005 and Central Disease Control. Site specific nosocomial infections rates were calculated.
Results: The overall nosocomial infection rate was 4.41 (363/7138) per 100 patient discharge. The most common infection was invasive method-associated systemic infection (48%), follow by ventilator associated pneumonia (37%), and finally catheter-associated urinary tract infection (15%), that change when rates per 1,000 invasive method were calculated; the first place was urinary tract infection 8.19 per 1000 catheter days, follow by pneumonia 7.15 per 1000 device days, and the last was blood stream systemic infection 6.03 per 1000 catheter days.
Conclusion: Device nosocomial infection rates were less than 10 per 1000 device days what denotes how important is involved the hospital services interaction and their commitment to prevent and control the nosocomial infection in the institution to achieve this results.
