Fast 25 % der Patienten auf Intensivstationen in der Schweiz ziehen sich iatrogene Infektionen zu. Besonders hoch ist dabei der Anteil an Infektionen mit MRSA, einem besonders zähen Streptokokken-Stamm, der gegen gängige Antibiotika resistent ist. Die geschätzten Folgekosten solcher Infektionen belaufen sich auf 150 bis 300 Mio. Schweizer Franken (rund 1900 bis 200 Mio. Euro).
Mit 23,5 Prozent am höchsten war der Anteil infizierter Patienten in den Intensivstationen, gefolgt von Chirurgie (8,3%), Medizin (5,6%), Gynäkologie (3,3%) und Geburtshilfe (2,2%). An der Spitze der häufigsten Infektionsarten stehen chirurgische Wundinfektionen (28,7%), Pneumonien (19,7%) und Harnwegsinfektionen (19,6%). (via espace.ch)
Einer Schweizer Studie zufolge reinigen 43 % aller Ärzte ihre Hände nicht vorschriftsgemäß, ehe sie Patienten untersuchen.
