| Abstract:Background:One of the causes of morbidity and mortality in healthcare settings is Hospital associated infections.These infections are usually acquired after hospitalization and manifest 48 hours after admission to the hospital.Aim:To identify effect of Surveillance on health-care associated infections in intensive care unit at South Egypt Cancer Institute.Design:Descriptive observational study which was carried over period 6 months.Setting:This study was carried out in intensive care unit at South Egypt Cancer Institute - Assiut University.Sample:(132)patients admitted in intensive care unit over period 6 months.Tools:Tool(1):patient assessment sheet:included two parts,part (1):personnal demographic data,part (2):an observational check list tool and tool(2):surveillance tools.Results:More than half (56.1%) of patients are female.This study shows that about (45.8%) of patients in (50 – 65 yrs.) age group have pneumonia infection, with statistically significant difference (P-value .003*).More than half of patients (64.0%) with breast cancer have also pneumonia infection, with statistically significant difference (P-value .001*).Conclusion:The continuous monitoring of HAIs in intensive care patients is essential.Smart electronic surveillance plays a critical role in detecting and managing HAIs.Recommendations:Enhance smart surveillance systems expand the use of smart electronic surveillance systems to facilitate early detection and response to HAIs.Integration of real-time data and alerts can significantly improve infection control outcomes. | ||
