- W4385602178 abstract "We describe an outbreak of Acinetobacter baumannii in a 15-bed regional burn unit in an academic tertiary care medical center, and the investigations and control measures used to halt the outbreak are described. Nine cases of A. baumannii were reported in our burn unit in a one-year period, which was higher than our expected number of two-three cases per year. Our burn unit director requested an outbreak investigation, and our hospital’s infection control department investigated thoroughly and found a source for that outbreak, which was never reported as a source in the previous literature. We identified table fans as the source of this outbreak. We then developed a strict fan policy, and after implementation of the policy, and terminal cleaning of rooms, only two cases per year of A. baumannii were reported in the next three-year period. We concluded that the table fans were colonized with A. baumannii and since they were used interchangeably in all patient rooms, caused this outbreak. There are no specific joint commission guidelines for the use of fans in hospitals. While fans can be used for the comfort of the patient, we should be cautious not to spread infections." @default.
