Objetivo: Este trabalho teve por objetivo a caracterização do tipo de infeções adquiridas na população idosa internada em duas tipologias distintas da Rede Nacional de Cuidados Continuados: a Unidade de Média Duração e Reabilitação e a Unidade de Longa Duração e Manutenção. Metodologia: Foram recolhidos os seguintes dados na Unidade de Cuidados Continuados do Hospital Escola da Universidade Fernando Pessoa, durante o período compreendido entre Janeiro de 2017 e Dezembro de 2020: infeções adquiridas, tipo de tratamento, classe de antibióticos prescrita assim como a duração do tratamento, e, nos casos de terapêutica dirigida foram recolhidas informações sobre os microrganismos causadores da infeção e possíveis resistências a antibióticos. Resultados: Das 415 infeções observadas nas duas tipologias, verificou-se que 159 ocorreram na Unidade de Média Duração e Reabilitação e 256 na Unidade de Longa duração e Manutenção. Destas infeções as mais prevalentes foram as Infeções do Trato Urinário (n=218), seguindo-se as Infeções Respiratórias (n=137) e por fim as Infeções de Pele e Tecidos Moles/Úlceras de Pressão (n=43). Conclusão: A avaliação e consequentemente a caracterização das Infeções Associadas aos Cuidados de Saúde, tem sido cada vez mais relevante com o intuito de minimizar a utilização de antimicrobianos, de modo a reduzir as resistências aos antibióticos e utilizar terapêuticas mais dirigidas para cada tipo de paciente e para cada tipo de patologia. Infelizmente nem sempre é possível realizar uma terapêutica dirigida pois na maior parte dos casos os pacientes que integram a Rede Nacional de Cuidados Continuados, são pacientes com comorbilidades, muitas vezes polimedicados, sendo, nestes casos, fundamental implementar uma estratégia terapêutica assim que possível para tratar a infeção.
Objective: This work aimed to characterize the type of infections acquired in the elderly population hospitalized in two distinct typologies of the National Continuing Care Network: the medium duration and rehabilitation unit and the long-term and maintenance unit. Methodology: The following data were collected at the Continuing Care Unit of the Hospital School of the Fernando Pessoa University during the period from January 2017 to December 2020: acquired infections, type of treatment, prescribed class of antibiotics, as well as the duration of treatment. In cases of targeted therapy, information was collected on the microorganisms causing infection and possible antibiotic resistance. Results: Out of the 415 infections observed in the two types, 159 were found in the Medium Duration and Rehabilitation Unit and 256 in the Long-term and Maintenance Unit. Among these infections, the most prevalent were Urinary Tract Infections (n=218), followed by Respiratory Infections (n=137) and finally Skin and Soft Tissue Infections/Pressure Ulcers (n=43). Conclusion: The evaluation and, consequently, the characterization of Healthcare Associated Infections has become increasingly relevant in order to minimize the use of antimicrobials, reduce antibiotic resistance and employing more targeted therapies for each type of patient and each type of pathology. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to implement targeted therapy, as most patients in the National Network of Continuing Care have comorbidities and are often polymedicated. In these cases, it is essential to implement a therapeutic strategy as soon as possible to treat the infection.
