ICUs – high risk areas for patient where lifethreatening mistakes & omissions in care can occur. Checklist of care should be addressed daily. Critically ill patients highly vulnerable to health care associated infection, resulting in significant morbidity & prolonged length of hospital stay. Reponsibility of every member of the health care team to ensure compliance with hospital and unit infection control policies – like hand-washing before & after examining a patient; use of alcohol hand rubs; use of sterile barriers & disposable gloves; safe disposal of all sharps & patient consumables; & traffic control. Bedside Analysis – checklist use has reduced ALOS & improved infection control indices.
