Study by the AHRQ Renews Focus on Hospital Infections
Its web site (ahrq.
gov) indicates that its goal "Advancing Excellence in Health Care" and the various documents on the web site seem to bear that out.
So the question remains...
Why are there an estimated 100,000 deaths a year from hospital acquired infections that are resistant to cure with even our best antibiotics and antiviral drugs? And more importantly why are these pathogens so prevalent in our health care facilities? The reason seems to be that the pathogens are mutating into even harder to treat versions faster than the drug companies can develop cures and the FDA can approve drugs that can get ahead of the problem.
The real problem is that the American medical establishment is focused on cures in every aspect of patent treatment instead of prevention.
And this begs the question; "If we can't cure a patient with these infections, how can we hope to prevent them from becoming infected?" It is quite simple.
A recent development in packaging has turned a really old product into a really new and very useful product for fighting this seemingly unsolvable problem.
And the problem is not with the drug companies or the FDA, it is with the Sanitation and Janitorial industry.
It turns out that hospitals world wide are being cleaned and sanitized with products that do a pretty fair job of killing most of the easy to kill pathogens.
The problem is that what they don't kill are the same pathogens that are causing the estimated 100,000 hospital acquired infections deaths per year.
And as bad as 100,000 deaths in just the USA is, the number is tiny compared to the largely undocumented and unreported number of people who are permanently damaged by infections from MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), C.
diff (Clostridium difficile) and many other less recognizable pathogens commonly found in hospitals.
As an example of the problem, a small study was done in a small children's hospital with a 40% hospital acquired MRSA rate to see if the pathogens found in the patient area could be killed with this new product.
The study was run by a microbiologist, who took swab samples before and after standard cleaning and sanitizing by the hospital staff, and again after just 24 hours of treatment with this new product.
The results were astounding.
The pathogens found before the standard cleaning and satirizing were pretty much what you would expect to find.
The number pathogens found after the cleaning were reduced but no where near zero and much of what was found would not respond to antibiotic and antiviral drugs.
The astounding part was after low level treatment with the new product, no pathogens were found! The hospital's response to the results of the unauthorized test was just as astounding.
The microbiologist nearly lost his job and was forbidden from publish the test results! If you are interested in making you health care facility safer for patients and staff or if you are interested in making your self or family safer during a hospital stay you may want to follow the link below.
