Abstract

There are many infectious diseases related to the treatment such as ventilator-associated pneumonia, catheter-associated urinary tract infection, catheter-related bloodstream infection, surgical site infection, and clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea, characteristic of the infectious disease in the ICU. As a complication of the use of the medical devices, you should consider the risk of the infection. For infection caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria such as MRSA, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, attention for horizontal infection in the ICU is necessary, and proper use of antibiotics and enforcement of the standard precaution are important.
