Abstrak :
Demam neutropenia merupakan salah satu kegawatan yang terjadi pada kasus anak kanker yang sedang menjalani kemoterapi. Demam neutropenia dapat meningkatkan risiko infeksi pada anak dan dapat memperburuk keadaan umum anak. Perawat berperan dalam meningkatkan kapasitas anak dan keluarga untuk upaya pengendalian infeksi selama di rumah sakit dan sebagai persiapan perawatan di rumah. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan kuasi-eksperimen dengan pendekatan pre-post without control group. Sampel penelitian ini berjumlah 30 anak dengan kanker yang dirawat dengan demam neutropenia. Intervensi manajemen pengendalian infeksi terdiri dari edukasi dan pemantauan perilaku pengendalian infeksi selama lima hari. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan adanya perbedaan yang bermakna pada tingkat pengetahuan orang tua dan ada perubahan perilaku setelah diberikan intervensi manajemen pengendalian infeksi pada anak dengan demam neutropenia. Penelitian selanjutnya dapat dilakukan dengan metode pemantauan yang lebih efektif sehingga manajemen pengendalian infeksi dapat berjalan optimal. ......Febrile neutropenia is one of the main causes of cancer children who are undergoing chemotherapy. Febrile neutropenia can increase the risk of infection in children and can worsen the general condition of children. Nurses play a role in increasing the capacity of children and families for infection control efforts while in the hospital and as preparation for home care. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pre-post without control group approach. The study sample consisted of 30 children with cancer who were treated with febrile neutropenia. The infection control management intervention consisted of education and monitoring of infection control behavior for five days. The results showed a significant difference in the level of knowledge of parents and there was a change in behavior after being given an infection control management intervention in children with febrile neutropenia. Further research can be carried out with more effective monitoring methods so that infection control management can run optimally.

Thoroughly revised and updated for its Fourth Edition, a comprehensive reference on hospital epidemiology and infection control. Written by over 150 leading experts, this new edition examines every type of hospital-acquired (nosocomial) infection and addresses every issue relating to surveillance, prevention, and control of these infections in patients and in healthcare workers. This new edition features new or significantly increased coverage of emerging infectious diseases, avian influenza, governmental regulation of infection control and payment practices related to hospital-acquired infections, molecular epidemiology, the increasing prevalence of community-acquired MRSA in healthcare facilities, system-wide infection control provisions for healthcare systems, hospital infection control issues following natural disasters, and antimicrobial stewardship in reducing the development of antimicrobial-resistant organisms.

This book is unique in approaching multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) from the perspective of its pathophysiological mechanism, and addressing aspects that are overlooked in most of the available literature. Eminent experts in the field from Europe and beyond offer new insights into risk stratification, severity assessment, and management of critically ill patients with sepsis. The principal focus is on recently developed concepts in infection management and in antibiotic use, bearing in mind that in these patients the pharmacokinetics of antibiotics are altered, affecting renal clearance and requiring dosage adjustments. The significance of the PIRO (predisposing factors, infection, response, organ dysfunction) model in the development of effective treatment strategies is emphasized.

Intensive care is a rapidly changing area of medicine, and after four years from the 2nd edition the volume editors and authors have deemed necessary to update it. In the recent years, in fact, five new randomised controlled trials and five new meta-analyses demonstrate that selective decontamination of the digestive tract [SDD] is an antimicrobial prophylaxis to prevent severe infections of not only lower airways but also of blood. Additionally, SDD has been shown to reduce inflammation including multiple organ failure and mortality. An intriguing observation is the evidence that SDD using parenteral and enteral antimicrobials reduces rather than increases antimicrobial resistance. Moreover, a new chapter on microcirculation had been added.
