Stop getting sick because you are trying to get better. Healthcare associated infections, especially those caused by antibiotic resistant bacteria present a major flaw in hospital care that needs to be addressed.
Physicians need to prioritize preventing infection every single time they treat a patient. They have the power to reverse the direction of antibiotic resistance.
1 in 25 patients gets a healthcare-associated infection and resistant organisms are likely the cause. You are getting an sick while you should be getting well.
There are 4 main types of infection to be cautious about. Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI), catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI), surgical site infections (SSI), and Clostridium difficile infections (CDI).
Although the incidence of CLABSI has fallen by about 50% since 2008, 1 in 6 of the remaining cases are caused by the antibiotic resistant bacteria.
SSI's have also fallen, but 1 in 7 of these cases and 10% of CAUITI's are caused by the antibiotic resistant bacteria.
Hospitals need to be taking steps for prevention by practicing good hygiene, using sterile gowns and gloves.The utmost care should be taken to ensure that catheters are kept sterile and used when absolutely necessary. Only use the best antibiotic when absolutely necessary.
There is an antibiotic alternative. Our patients know about it. Ozone therapy.
Six antibiotic-resistant bacteria are resistant to methicillin, vancomycin, carbapenem, and some are multi- drug resistant.
If an infection is antibiotic resistant it can be hard to treat, but we do not use antibiotics to treat infection.
We use Ozone therapies to treat infections. It is safe and effective at eliminating viruses, bacterium and infections.
