ABSTRACT

Introduction. Hospital nosocomial infections are a topical issue at the high tassa which are presented annually and the economic impact they generate. Cleaning the physical areas, a proper separation of infectious biological hazardous waste, the medical and nursing actions such as hand washing, the installation and care of catheters and good management of isolated substantially prevents the transmission of infectious agents in patients or health workers. General objetive. Evaluate some risk factors that may be associated with nosocomial infections. Material and methods The study covers the period 2005-2008 inthe CECan with a daily verification guide of some risk factors in hospital areas. Results. Cleanup at the hospital improved from 66% to 87%. In the separation of infectious biological hazardouswaste, there is also improvement from 85% to 93%. Regarding nursing techniques and procedures and improved handwashing increased 25 and 13 percentage points respectively in pediatrics. The trend of nosocomial infections rates in the CECan is down from 4.0 infections per 100 discharges in 2005 to 2.5 infections in 2008. Conclusións. This study demonstrates a causal relationship between the improvement of some risk factorsand the decrease in nosocomial infection rates, because, as the number of risk factors was decreasing, nosocomial infections rates fell sharply. This situation is appreciated particularly in pediatrics.
