Infection Control in Hospitals

Infection Control Services in Hospital
2
Hospitals in general go to great lengths to make
sure their buildings are sterile, but nearly 2
of the patients who die each year die of
infections they caught while in the hospital.
Hospitals usually go to great lengths to keep
sterile. In some cases, fatal hospital infections
are not completely preventable.
3
But in many cases, the hospital could have done
much more to ensure sanitary conditions. If
someone you love died from a preventable hospital
infection, you need the help of a lawyer. The
fact that hospital patients are typically very
ill means their immune systems are weaker than
when they are healthy.
4
Due to their weakened immune systems, hospital
patients are likelier to die from relatively
minor infections. An infection that would be
extremely unpleasant but not deadly for a healthy
person could easily be fatal for a hospital
patient.
5
Hospitals that do not act quickly enough can be
held liable for the preventable infection that
led to the death of your loved one. Of all the
patients who die in hospitals, roughly 2 die
from infections acquired while in the hospital.
6
With roughly 2 million deaths in hospitals in
America per year, that translates to roughly
100,000 dying from hospital infections every
year. Most of those deaths are from urinary tract
infections, infections where surgery was
performed, or pneumonia acquired while in the
hospital.
7
These infections are often caused by viruses that
would not be nearly as harmful for a healthy
person. This even includes many everyday medical
conditions, such as upper respiratory tract
infections, that healthy people might not worry
about at all.
8
Once these bacteria and viruses are allowed to
enter the body of a person with a weak immune
system, they can take over the body much more
easily than with healthy people.
9
Deaths from urinary tract infections are often
the result of catheters that are not sanitized
well or nurses who do not sanitize the area
before inserting it. Surgical infections are also
frequently the result of inadequate sterilization
before, during, or after the operation was
performed.
10
Pneumonia frequently develops after an infection
in the respiratory tract gets out of control,
something hospitals are usually able to prevent
by monitoring patients for infections and acting
quickly when one is noticed. Utopia provides
