Abstract

Objective: To study the clinical characteristics and preventive measures of liver failure with nosocomial septicemia.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of nosocomial septicemia seen between 2001 and 2002 was carried out in our hospital.

Results: Incidence of nosocomial septicemia was 0.61%, mortality was 14.29%, the main pathogen was Escherichia coli, the drug resistance occurred in most pathogens to the commonly used antibiotics.

Conclusion: In order to reduce nosocomial septicemia, antibiotics should be used rationally, should be paid attention to bacterial culture and antibiotic sensitivity, and preventive measures should be taken.
