 Abstract

Introduction: Health care associated infections (HCAIs) or hospital acquired infections (HAIs) are infections that occur after 48 hours of hospitalization but are neither present nor incubating upon hospital admission. Health care-associated infections (HAIs) have become a global patient safety concern. Device-associated infections (DAIs) like ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), central line-associated blood stream infections (CLA-BSIs) and catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CA-UTIs) together account for the majority of these infections. Aims and objectives--Medical device-associated candida infections at a tertiary care teaching hospital of U.P. India? with an aim to evaluate rate of medical device-associated candida infections. Materials and methods: This study was conducted in Department of Microbiology, Rama Medical College Hospital & Research Centre Kanpur from January 2018 to December 2018. In this study, the following three commonly encountered medical devices associated infections (MDAI), ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), central line associated blood stream infections (CLABSI) and catheter associated urinary tract infection (CA-UTI), as per the definition of CDCs National Nosocomial Infection Surveillance (NNIS) system criteria, were included. Results: During the study period, a total of 928 patients were exposed to different types of medical devices for a total duration of 3334 days. Out of these, 41 (4.4%) patients developed different types of Medical device associated infection (MDAI). Bacterial infection was noted in 31 (3.3%) patients, where candida spp. were isolated from 10 (1.0%) cases. The overall rate of MDAI in our hospital was 12.2 per 1000 devices days. The overall rates of bacterial and candida MDAI (1000 devices days) were 9.2 and 2.9 respectively. Conclusion: Systematic surveillance of device-associated infections has facilitated a reduction in the rates of DAIs and an increased compliance to preventive bundles and hand hygiene. Identification of priority areas, focused interventions and prompt information dissemination have aided in this reduction.

 Abstract

In the dynamic landscape of the hotel industry, the traditional manual checkout processes are being revolutionized by the proposed project leveraging Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) technology and NodeMCU microcontrollers. This research introduces a transformative solution aimed at enhancing guest experiences and operational efficiency. The innovative system issues RFID cards to guests, containing personalized booking and payment information, eliminating the need for conventional room keys and manual verification at the front desk. NodeMCU facilitates seamless communication between RFID readers and the hotel's web interface, creating a secure and efficient bridge between hardware and software components. By comparing the existing manual checkout systems with this RFID-based approach, the research harnesses the potential of technology to redefine the guest checkout experience. The project not only expedites the checkout process but also minimizes errors associated with manual procedures, significantly improving overall security. This groundbreaking solution reflects a paradigm shift in the hotel industry, addressing the evolving expectations of modern travelers for streamlined, contactless, and personalized services. The integration of RFID technology with NodeMCU positions hotels to embrace digital transformation, offering a more secure, efficient, and guest-centric approach to checkout procedures, thus contributing to the continual evolution of the hospitality sector.

Major Finding of The Study: From the finding of the study pre test 27 (54%) had inadequate knowledge, 23 (46%) had moderate knowledge and none of them had adequate knowledge. during post test 32 (64%) had adequate knowledge, 18 (36%) had moderate knowledge and none of them had inadequate knowledge. Comparison of mean and standard deviation score of level of knowledge and effectiveness of structured teaching program among parents of middle school children during pre-test and post-test. In parents pre test mean level of knowledge score was 10 with the standard deviation of 3.68 and post test mean level of knowledge score was 19.92 with the standard deviation of 3.77. The mean difference between the pre test and post test value was 33.18. The paired "t" test value of level of knowledge was 19.16 in the parents. the statistically significant value was P<0.05.
