FACE MASKS IN THE PROTECTION OF HEALTHCARE WORKERS IN RESOURCE POOR SETTINGS
Background: With the medical advances and the increasing use
of invasive procedures and indwelling devices in the hospitalised
patients, nosocomial infection has become an important cause of
morbidity and mortality in the ICU’s. With the aim of studying the
clinico-microbiological profile of nosocomial sepsis and its impact
on outcome in an Indian tertiary care set up, we undertook this
prospective observational cohort study.
Methods: Patients admitted in medical ICUs with features of
sepsis 48 hours post-admission were included. All patients were
followed up till discharge from the hospital or death. The source
of infection for development of sepsis was identified whenever possible.
