Health care-associated infections and visiting policy in an intensive care unit.

Paolo Malacarne1, Marzia Corini, Debora Petri.   

Abstract

A frequent objection to the unrestricted visiting policy in intensive care units (ICUs) is the risk of acquired infections. In a mixed 8-bed ICU, an adopted shift from a restricted to a partially unrestricted visiting policy did not result in an increase in ICU-acquired infections.
