Prevention of nosocomial infections in clinical practice

Nosocomial infections have a negative impact on healthcare, causing prolonged hospitalisation, increased treatment costs and higher mortality. It is therefore imperative that all healthcare workers know how to prevent these infections. The book Prevention of Nosocomial Infections for Practice contains specific medical and nursing procedures necessary for the prevention, early detection and treatment of the most common infections. The authors are based not only on the latest knowledge in the field, but also on the valid Czech and European directives. The book is intended for all doctors and nurses in practice, students of medical and nursing faculties. It also provides practical advice to hygienists and epidemiologists in the field, health care workers in nursing homes, home care agencies and other health care facilities.
