Hello
Just hoping for quick survey for those site who have an ICU and the advice from the ACSQHC Table 2 – high risk units re MRO screening on admission , weekly and on discharge (especially VRE)
as I am getting mixed messages from one of our ICUs that other units no longer undertake weekly MRO screening despite the national guide so I am trying to get an understanding of what others unit may be doingQuestion – Do you currently screen ICU patients for MROs on weekly as well as on discharge and admission
Many thanks for your useful feedback
Kind regards
Lindy

Hi Lindy
CCLHD Screen MROs in our ICUs (on admission, weekly and on discharge).
Mind you compliance is a bit underwhelming.

Hi Lindy,
Here in Tasmania we have a statewide screening protocol which outlines the requirements for MRO screening. The process does reflect some of the regional epidemiological differences or specific risk groups/areas, I will outline the framework within my region of Hospitals South (Tasmania) which relate specifically to screening into and out of ICU.
As we do not have any local issues with CPE or C. auris, there are no specific ICU screening requirements relating to these pathogens
I hope that this assists?
Kind regards
Rachel

Hi Lindy
We only screen weekly in ICU for MRSA / VRE / CPE / ESBL. We stopped screening on admission and discharge because it wasn’t being done (too many things happening on admission and discharge for anyone to remember!). We currently screen every Sunday night at midnight and it works very well. We tend to have a lot of short stay patients in ICU post cardiac surgery, and that cohort are screened for MROs prior to surgery anyway.
We have an overall very low rate of positive MROs (both CAI and HAI), and this just helps us confirm that ICU is not adding to our burden.

Hi Lindy,
At Austin Health we screen:1. ICU upon admission and twice per week for MRSA, VRE and MRGNO.
2. High Risk Units upon admission and weekly for VRE/MRGNO.
3. Point Prevalence Survey for all inpatients (whole of organisation) every 6 months, for VRE/MRGNOWe risk assess patients upon admission for an overseas admission in the past 12 months or admission to a known CPE transmission area. These patients are screened for VRE/MRGNO.
We also screen patients for C.auris if they have had an overseas admission in the past 12 months.Kind regards,
John Greenough
