Infections in the Intensive Care Unit: Posttransplant Infections
Crit Care Nurs Clin North Am.
2017 Mar.
Abstract
Solid organ transplantation has become a well-established standard of care for end-organ failure, and the nurse in the intensive care unit may be exposed to these patients at any stage in the care continuum of pretransplant or posttransplant care. Knowledge of risk factors, timing, and treatments for infections may help to enhance clinical practices and optimize patient safety and clinical outcomes.
Keywords: Posttransplant ICU care; Posttransplant infections; Risk factors; Solid organ transplantation.
