Abstract
care services in Benha University Hospital through systematic surveillance approach for situation and gap analysis at PICU. Methods: The surveillance procedures were based on observational scoring meeting with staff and data collection by questionnaires. The surveillance activities were repeated for 9 times (from November, 2009 to March, 2010) for assurance of accuracy of collected data. Results: In the current study the overall assessment of infection control standards in all surveillance cycles (nine cycles) revealed that 6 audits were interpreted as "moderate compliance" (66.7 %) and 3 audits were interpreted as low compliance (33.3 %). As regards total sterilization standards, surveillances revealed, moderate compliance was achieved in 6 audits (66.7%) and high compliance was achieved in 3 audits (33.3%). The repeated nine audits were interpreted for personnel and structure as having moderate compliance (100%). The current study assessment of mechanical ventilation standards revealed variation through different audits that could be summarized as follows ; high compliance of 6 audits (66.7%) and moderate compliance of 3 audits (33.3%). Conclusion: There are variable degrees of compliance with the national and international standards of infection control, sterilization and personnel and mechanical ventilation in Benha University Hospital PICU.
