Objective To evaluate the effect of bundle strategies on the prevention and control of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) in intensive care unit (ICU), in order to effectively prevent and control the severe situation of multiple drug-resistant bacteria in ICU.Methods We selected patients who admitted into the ICU from January 2016 to December 2017 as study subjects, and monitored 6 types of MDROs. Basic information was surveyed and collected from January to December 2016 (before intervention), while bundle strategies on MDROs were implemented from January to December 2017 (after intervention), including issusing isolation orders, hanging isolation marks, wearing isolation clothes, using medical articles exclusively, cleaning and disinfecting environment, implementing hand hygiene, etc. Then we compared the MDRO detection rate, nosocomial infection rate, MDRO nosocomial infection rate, and compliance rates of interventions between the two periods.Results The MDRO detection rate before intervention was 77.10%, and that after intervention was 49.12%, the difference between the two periods was statistically significant (χ²=69.834, P<0.001). The nosocomial infection rate of ICU decreased from 23.51% before intervention to 15.23% after intervention, the MDRO nosocomial infection rate decreased from 13.70% before intervention to 5.84% after intervention, and the differences between the two periods were statistically significant (χ²=8.594, P=0.003; χ²=13.722, P<0.001). The compliance rates of doctor’s isolation orders, hanging isolation marks, wearing isolation clothes, using medical articles exclusively, cleaning and disinfecting environment, and hand hygiene, as well as the correct rate of hand hygiene after intervention (92.12%, 93.55%, 81.77%, 84.24%, 82.90%, 77.39%, and 96.37%) were significantly higher than those before intervention (31.94%, 52.00%, 23.43%, 48.18%, 67.16%, 59.46%, and 88.64%), and the differences were all statistically significant (P<0.001).Conclusion The implementation of the above bundle strategies on the prevention and control of MDROs can decrease the MDRO detection rate and MDRO nosocomial infection rate.
