  • Reduction of Healthcare Associated Infections Through the Use of Pulsed Xenon Ultraviolet Disinfection
    InfectionControl.tips Join. Contribute. Make A Difference. http://infectioncontrol.tips Reduction of Healthcare Associated Infections through the use of Pulsed Xenon Ultraviolet Disinfection By: Dr. Mark Stibich Reviewed by: Andrew Duong Date : May 13, 2016 Healthcare associated infections (HAIs) are a global problem, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths each year, life-long disability to some survivors, and requiring billions of dollars of additional care. While the rate of device- and procedure-associated infections have shown improvement within United States acute care facilities, greater consideration should be given to other well- established sources of infection; such as the contaminated hospital environment [1]. The link between the environment and HAIs is best explained by what is known as the ‘prior room occupancy risk’ [2]. Patients admitted to rooms that were previously occupied by patients infected with common multidrug resistant organisms (MDROs) such as Clostridium difficile [3] (C. diff), Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) [4] and Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) [5] have been found to be at a 2.5, 1.5 and 2.25 times increased risk for developing the same infection, respectively [6]. Since there is no direct contact between the two patients, this risk of infection is almost exclusively associated with the environment. If not properly disinfected, these MDROs can linger on high touch surfaces for weeks to months, serving as a continued transmission risk for many future patients [7]. A growing number of healthcare organizations have turned to an innovative pulsed xenon ultraviolet (UV) light technology to complement standard cleaning protocols, with a goal to decrease HAIs. Pulsed xenon UV (PX-UV) disinfection (introduced to the healthcare market in 2010 by Xenex Disinfection Services) is the only UV disinfection technology shown to help hospitals effectively reduce their HAI rates and the body of evidence continues to mount [5-12].

A defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the US Navy would expand its presence in the Mediterranean to four destroyers from three. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, en route to Asia, said Obama had asked the Pentagon for options on Syria, where an apparent chemical weapons attack that killed as many as 1,000 civilians has upped pressure on Washington to respond. “The Defense Department has responsibility to provide the president with options for all contingencies,” Hagel said. “And that requires posi- tioning our forces, positioning our assets, to be able to carry out different options - whatever options the presi- dent might choose.” He did not elaborate. The defense official, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said the USS Mahan, a destroyer armed with cruise missiles, had finished its deployment and was due to head back to its home base in Norfolk, Virginia.
