Infektionsprävention in der Neonatologie

Die Infektionsprävention spielt in der Neonatologie eine große Rolle, maßgeblich bedingt durch die Vulnerabilität der Patient*innen, die oft lange Liegedauer, die Notwendigkeit von invasiven Kathetern oder Beatmung, außerdem häufig enge räumliche Bedingungen, die Transmissionen begünstigenden können. In diesem Artikel sollen aktuelle Beispiele aus der Literatur aufgegriffen werden, um praxisrelevante Fragestellungen zu beleuchten.
