Use of repeated point prevalence surveys for the prevention and control of healthcare associated infections and antimicrobial use: an Italian region experience
No full textBackground. Friuli Venezia Giulia (FVG) has a regional patient safety programme that involves all the public and private healthcare facilities. In this context infection control is one of the most important topics in particular the prevention and control of Healthcare Associated Infections (HAI) together with the management of antimicrobials.
Aim. The aim of our study was to collect data to evaluate the effectiveness of FVG infection control programmes and to set up the future steps.
Methods. In October 2011 all acute hospital of FVG participated to the ECDC European point prevalence survey (PPS) of HAI and antimicrobial use (AU). In October 2013 the PPS was repeated according to the ECDC protocol.
Results. Included patients were 3267 (2011) and 3360 (2013). HAI prevalence was 6.9% (2011) and 6.2% (2013), while AU was 40.7% (2011) and 39.0% (2013). Most important results were the decrease in 2013 of surgical site infection in the third level hospitals (19/1878) versus 2011 (37/1902) (OR 0.52 IC95% 0.30-0.90), the increase of pneumonia in 2013 in the first and second level hospitals (24/1105) versus 2011 (10/1023) (OR 2.22 IC95% 1.07-4.62) and the increase of one shot and less than 24 hours procedures for the surgical prophylaxis in 2013 (182/284) versus 2011 (181/322) (OR 1.39 IC95% 1.00-1.93). Discussion.The repeated use of ECDC PPS can be a very useful tool to provide valuable data, both to single healthcare facility and regional government, to evaluate the quality of care provided to patients and the impact of the implemented programmes. Making public these data can fulfil the 24/2011/EU directive
Utilizzo delle prevalenze ripetute per la sorveglianza delle Infezioni nelle Organizzazioni Sanitarie (IOS): l’esperienza del Friuli Venezia Giulia.
No full textObiettivi. Tra i programmi del governo clinico per la sicurezza del paziente della regione Friuli Venezia Giulia quello riguardante il controllo e la prevenzione delle infezioni ricopre un ruolo molto importante; in questo contesto una sorveglianza puntuale sulle Infezioni nelle Organizzazioni Sanitarie (IOS) e sull’utilizzo degli antibiotici (UA) estesa a livello regionale riveste un ruolo fondamentale per stimarne dimensioni e caratteristiche in modo da identificare le priorità e attuare azioni di miglioramento condivise. Metodi. Sono state eseguite due Point Prevalence Survey (PPS), la prima nell’ottobre 2011 e la seconda nell’ottobre 2013. Le rilevazioni hanno coinvolto tutte le strutture per acuti della regione sia pubbliche che private accreditate. In entrambe le rilevazioni è stato utilizzato il protocollo sviluppato per la PPS promossa dall’ECDC nel 2011. Prima di ogni PPS sono state organizzate due giornate formative sull’utilizzo del protocollo ECDC che hanno contribuito a formare circa 140 professionisti sanitari. Risultati. Nel 2011 i pazienti inclusi sono stati 3267 con una prevalenza di IOS del 6,9% e di UA del 40,7%, nel 2013 i pazienti inclusi sono stati 3360 con una prevalenza di IOS del 6,2% e di UA del 39%. Nel 2011 su un totale di 248 IOS le più frequenti sono state le infezioni delle vie urinarie (IVU) 62, le polmoniti 49 e le infezioni del sito chirurgico 42, nel 2013 su 223 IOS le più frequenti sono state le polmoniti 56, le IVU 54 e le sepsi 32. Discussione. L’utilizzo ripetuto delle PPS consente di valutare, a livello regionale l’impatto dei programmi in essere e di individuare le possibili aree di miglioramento, a livello delle singole aziende fornisce un valido strumento per il benchmark

« Il Naviglio mi vuole anche di notte » : Milano nei versi di Alda Merini
No full textIl contributo si concentra sulle rappresentazioni di Milano nell’opera di Alda Merini. Del tutto assente nelle prime raccolte poetiche, improntate a un lirismo astratto, la realtà
ambrosiana dilaga a partire dagli anni Ottanta, quando l’autrice torna alla letteratura dopo gli anni bui dei ricoveri in ospedali psichiatrici. Il Naviglio in particolare diviene una presenza ossessiva in versi e prose. Lungi dall’offrire le rassicurazioni di un ambiente familiare e occasioni per bozzetti nostalgici, il lento, inesorabile, rettilineo scorrere del canale emblematizza un’opprimente ragion produttiva. Nel contempo, la fauna pittoresca che abita i dintorni è sottoposta a un trattamento deformante, che tramuta le lavandaie – regine del folclore locale – in sinistre erinni avvinazzate. Solo fra i lumpen è dato cogliere qualche lampo residuo di umanità. L’estraneità dell’autrice ai valori fondanti della capitale morale non potrebbe essere più esplicita.« Il Naviglio mi vuole anche di notte ». Milan in the poetry by Alda Merini · This article focuses on the way Milan is portrayed in Alda Merini’s writings. Totally missing in her first
collections of poetry, which were imbued with abstract lyricism, real Milanese life starts to run wild in the Eighties when the author goes back to fiction after the dark years of psychiatric hospitalisation. It is especially the Naviglio that becomes an obsessive feature in her poems and novels. Far from providing the reassurance of a familiar place or opportunities for wistful sketches, the slow, steady, unswerving flow of the canal symbolises an oppressive productivepurpose. Meanwhile, the quirky crowd that lives in the surroundings is exposed to a distorting treatment that turns the laundresses – the queens of local folklore – into grim drunken Furies. Only amidst the lumpen can any remnant of human dignity be glimpsed. The author’s separation from the fundamental values of the ‘moral capital’ could not be more unequivocal
