TL;DR: HCU contamination with M chimaera at the LivaNova factory seems a likely source for cardiothoracic surgery-related severe M chimeera infections diagnosed in Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, the USA, and Australia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Markus Dettenkofer,W. Ebner,Thomas Els,R. Babikir,Carl Hermann Lücking,Klaus Pelz,Henning Rüden,Franz Daschner +7 more
TL;DR: In future, data on NI in NICUs should be assessed in greater detail, both to improve the quality of care and serve as a basis for identification and implementation of the most effective measures by which to prevent these infections in patients receiving intensive neurological care.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surveillance of nosocomial infections in adult recipients of allogeneic and autologous bone marrow and peripheral blood stem-cell transplantation.
Markus Dettenkofer,W. Ebner,Hartmut Bertz,R. Babikir,J Finke,Uwe Frank,Henning Rüden,Franz Daschner +7 more
TL;DR: The greatest number of NI in BMT and PBSCT recipients is acquired during neutropenia, and multicentre surveillance programmes should focus on this.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nosocomial infections in a neurosurgery intensive care unit.
Markus Dettenkofer,W. Ebner,F J Hans,D. H. Forster,R. Babikir,J. Zentner,K Pelz,Franz Daschner +7 more
TL;DR: Overall and site-specific nosocomial infection rates in patients receiving neurosurgical intensive care therapy, a prospective study was started in February 1997 in the eight-bed neuros surgical ICU of the University Hospital of Freiburg, Germany.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heater-cooler units: contamination of crucial devices in cardiothoracic surgery.
TL;DR: Exhaust air from HCUs may be a pathway of pathogen transmission to patients undergoing open chest heart surgery and only strict separation of the HCU from the operating room appears to enhance patient safety.
