520 _aThis book comprehensively addresses all aspects of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) in the ICU, emphasizing their control and management. This book emphasizes the immense value of practicing robust infection control measures, which minimize the morbidity and mortality associated with HAIs and prove cost-effective. Preventing healthcare-associated infections remains an ongoing and challenging task in India's medical care settings. With numerous hospital infection control guidelines available, this book encompasses various topics, catering to healthcare workers at all levels. It provides unique features that set it apart, including comprehensive coverage of basic principles of infection control, the pivotal role of healthcare workers, bio-waste management, and antimicrobial stewardship. It is extensively updated to reflect current clinical understanding and management practices. The book provides the latest guidelines for preventing and managing nosocomial infections in healthcare facilities. It represents the first-ever writing from the Indian context, incorporating ICMR and governmental study/project data and findings. It provides easy-to-follow algorithms for the management of clinical scenarios. Additionally, this book offers practical guidance on establishing effective infection control units in hospitals, complete with quality control and quality assurance measures. It serves as a valuable resource, drawing from the latest research and evidence-based practices while incorporating the specific needs and context of the Indian healthcare system. This book aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goal 3 - Good Health and Well-being and equips readers with the knowledge and tools to combat HAIs effectively. It is an essential reference for clinicians, healthcare professionals, including nurses, ICU technicians, allied caregivers, medical technologists, microbiologists, pharmacists, policymakers and governmental agencies, NABL labs, NABH accredited nursing homes, hospital infection control committees and students, facilitating the implementation of robust infection control practices and ultimately improving patient outcomes in ICU settings.
