- W4310796475 abstract "Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection causes high morbidity and mortality, especially in immunocompromised patients. Pseudomonas can develop multidrug resistance. As a result, it can cause serious outbreaks in hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) settings, increasing both length of stay and costs. In the second quarter of 2020, in a community hospital's 15-bed ICU, the P. aeruginosa-positive sputum culture rate was unacceptably high, with a trend of increasing prevalence over the previous 3 quarters. We performed a multidisciplinary quality improvement (QI) initiative to decrease the P. aeruginosa-positive rate in our ICU. We used the Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control model of Lean Six Sigma for our QI initiative to decrease the P. aeruginosa-positive sputum culture rate by 50% over the following year without affecting the baseline environmental services cleaning time. A Plan-Do-Study-Act approach was used for key interventions, which included use of sterile water for nasogastric and orogastric tubes, adherence to procedure for inline tubing and canister exchanges, replacement of faucet aerators, addition of hopper covers, and periodic water testing. We analyzed and compared positive sputum culture rates quarterly from pre-intervention to post-intervention. The initial P. aeruginosa-positive culture rate of 10.98 infections per 1,000 patient-days in a baseline sample of 820 patients decreased to 3.44 and 2.72 per 1,000 patient-days in the following 2 post-intervention measurements. Environmental services cleaning time remained stable at 34 minutes. Multiple steps involving all stakeholders were implemented to maintain this progress. A combination of multidisciplinary efforts and QI methods was able to prevent a possible ICU P. aeruginosa outbreak." @default.
