Infection Control in the Intensive Care Unit: A Comprehensive Guide for Anesthesiologists and Critical Care Specialists

Infection control in the intensive care unit (ICU) is a critical aspect of patient care. The ICU is a high-risk environment for healthcare-associated infections (HAIs),due to the presence of critically ill patients with compromised immune systems, the use of invasive devices, and the close proximity of patients and healthcare workers. HAIs can lead to increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs.
