Utilisation Rate

The aim of our study was to determine the incidence, microbiological profile, risk factors and outcomes of patients diagnosed with ventilator-associated events in our tertiary care hospital. In this prospective study, intensive care patients put on mechanical ventilation for >48 h were enrolled and monitored daily for ventilator-associated event according to Disease Centre Control guidelines. A ventilator-associated event developed in 33/250 (13.2%); its incidence was 3.5/100 mechanical ventilation days. The device utilisation rate was 0.86, 36.4% of patients had early and 63.6% late-onset ventilator-associated pneumonia whose most common causative pathogen was Acinetobacter sp. (63.6%). Various factors were significantly associated with a ventilator-associated event: male gender, COPD, smoking, >2 underlying diseases, chronic kidney disease and elevated acute physiological and chronic health evaluation II scores. Therefore, stringent implementation of infection control measures is necessary to control ventilator-associated pneumonia in critical care units.

Life Saving

INTRODUCTION: Blood transfusion is an important concern for the society, as it is life saving for patients with bleeding disorders, accidents, surgeries, inherited/acquired hematological diseases and malignancies. Generally, donors are classied into the following categories: voluntary, family replacement, remunerated or paid donors, and autologous donor. AIMS & OBJECTIVES:To understand the importance of Blood & its safe Transfusion practice in a Teaching Hospital. METHODOLOGY: An Observational study was conducted over a period of 12 months from January 2019 to December 2019 in a 750 –bedded Tertiary Care Hospital of Jammu(UT). OBSERVATIONS: In addition to providing Blood-Transfusion Services to the patients admitted in SMGS Hospital Jammu & Other Associated Hospitals of GMC Jammu, the Blood-Bank is also catering to the needs of Registered Private Nursing Homes & Hospitals of Jammu(UT).This Blood-Bank has exceptionally maintained a record of consuming the whole stock of Blood without wasting even a single pint of blood. DISCUSSION: The Aim of Blood Transfusion Services is to supply good Quality of Blood & its Components to the Patients & avoid any risk to the Donors as well as Recepients. Hence it is extremely essential to institute strict Quality Control Measures RECOMMENDATIONS: Recommended that Upgradation of Blood-Bank is essential to cater with the needs of Additional bed-strength that SMGS Hospital is going to acquire in the coming future.
