MRSA infections are associated with significant morbidity, patient and family suffering and costs. One NICU MRSA infection has been estimated to cost as much as $27,540. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) which is a common part of human nasal flora, continues to be a leading cause of outbreaks and health-care-associated infections in neonatal intensive care units. Studies have reported that nasal and skin decolonization has reduced MRSA infections and associated healthcare costs.Colonization of the nasal passage with MRSA increases the risk of infection to the patient and transmission to other patients on the hands and equipment of healthcare workers. The webinar will detail the costs and challenges of the current approach of nasal screening patients and then placing them in isolation or contact precautions. In addition, an alternative approach called universal decolonization will be described in detail.
