Critical care units are high-risk areas which contribute to
increased health care costs and increased patient morbidity and
mortality. Patients in critical care units are commonly confronted
with existing and the potential to develop infections. Critical
care practitioners play a crucial role as initial providers to
critically ill patients with infections through the delivery of
timely and appropriate therapies aimed to prevent and treat patient
infections. The responsibility of critical care practitioners
include prudent delivery of care to treat current infections as
well as ensuring the delivery of care does not increase the
development of new infections. Aggressive infection control
measures are needed to reduce infections in critical care settings.
Dissemination of scholarly work on the topic of infection in
critically ill patients can play a role in improving patient
outcomes. The information provided on infections in this issue of
Critical Care Nursing Clinics promotes the dissemination of current
literature on a series of timely and relevant infection topics in
critical care environments.
