Today we are discussing Mitigating the risk of Staphylococcus aureus healthcare associated infections. Patients with Staphylococcus aureus nasal colonization - both sensitive and resistant strains (MSSA) and (MRSA) - are at dramatically higher risk of peripheral and central line bloodstream infections along with Surgical site infections. This is especially true in high-risk populations such as ICU patients. Sue talks strategies. Join Us!
