Nosocomial infections are commonly encountered problems for all hospitalized patients. Patients admitted to the neuro intensive care unit (NICU) are at higher risk of developing life-threatening nosocomial infections. These patients are particularly vulnerable because of the serious nature of their illness, the frequency of associated trauma and the presence of invasive devices. In this study, the definition of neuro-intensive care unit nosocomial infections, affecting factors, pathogens, type of the nosocomial infections, and prevention of infection were reviewed.

Keywords: neurointensive care; nosocomial infection.

Hastane enfeksiyonu tüm hastalar için yaygın olarak karşılaşılan bir sorundur. Nöro-yoğun bakım ünitesine kabul edilen hastalar gelişmekte olan yaşamı tehdit eden hastane enfeksiyonları açısından yüksek risk altındadırlar. Bu hastalar tanıları, ilişkili travma ve invaziv cihazlar nedeniyle enfeksiyonlara hassastırlar. Bu çalışmada; nöro-yoğun bakım ünitesinde nosocomial enfeksiyonların tanımı, etkileyen faktörler, etken patojenler, enfeksiyon tipleri ve alınacak önlemler derlenmiştir.
