Abstract

A cross-sectional descriptive study on 168 patients admitted to the ICU - Bach Mai Hospital within 48 hours from August 1, 2020 to August 31, 2021 to describe the patient's bacterial infection characteristics. Results: The rate of infection with multi-resistant gram-negative bacteria in patients newly admitted to the ICU accounted for a high rate of over 40%; especially, the rate of multi-resistant gram-negative bacteria was higher in patients transferred from other departments/centers in the hospital, accounting for 56.16% and from other hospitals accounted for 69.62% compared to patients from the community accounted for 43.75%; there was a difference in the rate of bacterial infection in the group of patients from the community and the group of patients transferred from other hospitals (p<0.05). 99.4% of the patients had SOFA score greater than or equal to 2. Conclusion: The patients who had an infection at the time of admission to the ICU - Bach Mai Hospital were in serious condition. Most of the patients transferred from other places had multi-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. The group of patients with community-acquired infections also had more than 40% of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria.
