A survey of infection in an intensive care unit. "Forewarned is forearmed".

J M Thorp, W C Richards, A B Telfer.   

Abstract

The infection (36%) and mortality rates (28%) were investigated in 433 patients admitted to a Respiratory Intensive Care Unit. It was found that the mortality rate was higher (45%) in the infected group than in the non-infected group (19%) and particularly so in patients who had had intra-abdominal surgery or who remained in the unit for longer than a week.
