Enterococcal Bacteremia

ABSTRACT Background: Bloodstream infection (BSI) and bacteremias due to Enterococcus spp. are increasing worldwide with the current need to understand its causes among hospitalized trauma patients. Hence, the study was conducted. Methodology: A 3-year retrospective laboratory cum clinical based study was performed at a level I trauma center in India. Patients with health care associated enterococcal bacteremia were identified using the hospital database, their episodes of BSI/bacteremia calculated and their clinical records and treatment were noted. Results: A total of 104 nonrepetitive Enterococcus spp. was isolated of which Enterococcus faecium was the most common (52%). High-level resistance to gentamicin high-level aminoglycoside resistance was seen in all the Enterococcus spp. causing bacteremia, whereas a low resistance to vancomycin and teichoplanin was observed. Overall mortality was more in patients infected with vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (5/11, 46%) compared to those with vancomycin sensitive Enterococcus (9/93, 10%); though no significant association of mortality with Enterococcus spp. bacteremia (P > 0.05) was seen. The rate of bacteremia due to Enterococcus spp. was 25.4 episodes/1,000 admissions (104/4,094) during the study period. Conclusion: Enterococcal bacteremia is much prevalent in trauma care facilities. Here, a microbiologist can act as a sentinel and help in preventing such infections.

In India the organized trauma care services are restricted only to tertiary care centres and golden hour trauma care is often delayed. We decided to create awareness among the MBBS students by teaching basic trauma management skills since they are the first responders to a trauma victim brought to any hospital setup. This would help improve primary trauma care. Aim: To assess the improvement in knowledge, attitude and practice after primary trauma care workshop in MBBS students Methods and Material: A one day primary trauma care workshop was conducted in our institute for two consecutive years during the annual academic undergraduate conference 2018 and 2019 respectively. The MBBS students enrolled were given a questionnaire to solve before and after the workshop. They received a lecture on triage and hands-on practice on Primary survey, log roll & cervical spine stabilization, Airway management, Intravenous fluids & shock management and Basic life support. Statistical analysis: The pre and post workshop questionnaires were statistically analyzed by paired t-test using software version SPSS 20.0 and a P value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Pre workshop 9.9% and 10.5% of the students had above average total score in 2018 and 2019 respectively which increased to 67.6% and 78.5% post workshop. The mean Knowledge, Attitude and Practice scores also improved individually. Conclusion: We should include such workshops in the undergraduate curriculum, it would improve primary trauma care and will reduce trauma related morbidity and mortality
