INFECTION PREVENTION AND CONTROL
Why patients still catch hospital infections despite the practice of infection prevention and control
programs?
Huang Wei Ling
Medical Acupuncture and Pain Management Clinic, Brazil
Statement of the problem:
Very few publications provide sound scientific data used to determine which components are
essential for Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) programs in terms of effectiveness in reducing the risk of infection. In
recent years, a range of regional best practice or policy principles have been developed that address what could be considered
as core components of IPC programs. However there remains a major gap in relation to the availability of international best
practice principles for core components of IPC programs. The purpose of this study was to show why patients still catch
hospital infections despite IPC programs. A better understanding of a variety of theories is needed that could explain the
physiopathology of diverse diseases described in the medical past history, which are usually disregarded clinically today. A
broader view seems to show the necessity of seeing the patient as a whole; not only focusing on the disease in the prevention
of these hospital infections. The methodology used was a review of these theories such as those presented by Hippocrates
(“Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease.”), as well as others from oriental medicine, which explain that diseases
originate from three factors: external (exposure to cold, heat, humidity, wind and dryness), internal (emotional) and dietary.
Findings:
Having a broader view of the patient as a whole (Yin, Yang, Qi, Blood energy and Heat retention), we can understand
better the formation of hospital infectionwhich is a systemic energy reaction of our body undergoing normal hospital treatment.
Conclusion:
To understand better why a patient is still catching hospital infections, despite these IPC programs, we need to
broaden our view observing all emotional, environmental and dietary factors, as well as studying his energy situation at the
moment of admittance identifying his risk of hospital infection
