AB  - Critically  ill  patients  are  at  very  high  risk  of  developing  severe  infections,  with  incidence  rates  five  to  ten  times  higher  than  general  wards.1  Data  from  US  hospitals  covering  2009  to  2010  showed  that,  although  patients  in  critical  care  wards  represent  only  15.1%  of  the  hospital  population,  they  developed  almost  43%  of  healthcare-associated  infections  (HAIs).  Approximately  65%  of  all  device-related  HAIs  occurred  in  intensive  care  unit  (ICU)  settings.1,2
