is concerned at the infusions, according to Professor Pfeiffer to nutrition solutions were prepared individually from various external components manufacturer in the pharmacy of the University Hospital Mainz for each patient.

called National health conditions
After the death of three babies at the Mainz University Hospital of the German Society for Hospital Hygiene a nationally uniform health regulation required. Klaus-Dieter Zastrow told the Radio Germany " a reorganization is long overdue. Zastrow that there are in Germany every year up to one million hospital infections and up to 40,000 deaths. Half of these cases is preventable by proper hygiene and with it most of the costs in the billions.
Will improve hygiene: Federal Health Minister Philippe Rösler
"bacteria know no boundaries"
Zastrow criticized that so far each country has its own health regulations. "Federalism has no place on the site nothing. Bacteria know no boundaries." The case in Mainz with contaminated fluids is estimated by the doctor's very strange. It was unclear how the bacteria in the solution could get. Probably it was a matter of human error.
Also Federal Health Minister Philippe Roesler sees need for correction. Rösler announced in Berlin to bring the topic of hospital hygiene at the next Health Ministers Conference.
warning against panic
contrast, warned the German Hospital Federation against the deaths in Mainz cost as a sign of general lack of hygiene in hospitals. CEO Georg Baum said MDR INFO, there were patients and treatment situations that are highly prone to infections. As an example he cited weeks of treatment in intensive care, transplantation, or blood diseases. Certain risk ratios were not preventable. Yet everything must be done to ensure infection-free delivery and application chain. Baum also complained too much antibiotic use, which formed multi-resistant germs.
Four other babies on the road to recovery
the Mainz University Hospital expects no further deaths. As the clinical director of the University of Medicine, Norbert Pfeiffer told, are the other four with a contaminated infusion infected children on the road to recovery. The third baby had died on Monday evening. However, it must be recognized that all children have already had serious pre-existing conditions. Whether the babies actually engaged in Infection died, should clarify microbiological tests. The cause of the contaminated infusions is unclear.

cause of death is still open
The preliminary results of the autopsy of the two babies who died on Saturday, according to the Chief Public Prosecutor of Mainz, Klaus-Peter Mieth, still uncertain whether the germs were todesursächlich. The autopsy had been confirmed only serious pre-existing conditions, Mieth said. The two-and eight-month-old baby had been due to heart failure in treatment. The younger it was a premature birth.
Eleven children lying in the ICU, the nutrient solution contaminated with intestinal bacteria had received on Friday. The office is investigating, among other things on suspicion of negligent homicide.
Second seed identified • A
such tubing may have been contaminated
The path of the contamination is still unclear, according to Pfeiffer: "It's still the whole chain from receiving the infusion of the mixture in suspicion." The investigations were still ongoing, we do not expect quick results. Clarity there but the second seed, who had been identified. If they were "Escherichia hermannii, a normally harmless germs that everyone wear in the intestine. "But if he gets the wrong place in the body, it can make you sick." The other seed is "Enterobacter cloacae".
had for the other microbiological investigations, the investigator in the hospital pharmacy provided by outside suppliers for raw materials in the original packaging to ensure the nutrient solution. Also, the tubing from the mixing of the automatic machine to which the infusion was made, will be closely examined. The prosecution of Mainz and the University Hospital will now assume that may have occurred at this point to contamination of the nutrient solution. As a consequence of the cases, the government plans a uniform law for hospital hygiene.
country plans for hospital hygiene regulation
The government, meanwhile, is planning a hygiene regulation for hospitals. The provision is included in the amendment to the state hospital law. The Health Ministry said, however, that the new legislation was related to the current events at the Mainz University Hospital. Basically, the University Hospital was well placed. This was also the great efforts and the sincerity with which the tragic cases were solved, said a spokeswoman for the Health Ministry.
Other products and alternative manufacturing processes
As the clinic reported that the contamination had been identified during a quality monitoring that is performed daily. The use of eligible production systems and solutions, was reportedly stopped immediately. Until the cases have been resolved, would Products from other manufacturers used and produced in an alternative method. There would also be mixed together now infusions of other employees to avoid any risk, "said hospital board member Pfeiffer.

background in "clean room labs" mistakes can happen
contamination of infusion solutions are not uncommon. The alleged head of the Hygiene Institute at the University Hospital Rostock, Andreas Podbielski. In most cases, errors of the laboratory personnel were the cause of this.

All employees in these labs are indeed well trained, and control of laboratory methods was extensive. In the preparation of nutrient solutions but very many actions are necessary. "Even in clean room laboratories working people, and then you can just make mistakes," said the expert.
infusion is urgently needed
newborns are extremely vulnerable to any kind of germ. Smallest amounts can cause serious illnesses. This is particularly true for premature infants as one of the two in the Mainz University Clinic, who died infants.
in each laboratory according to Podbielski be random checks made to verify the sterility among others. The solutions would, however, a few hours after the order administered intravenously, he said. It is because of this time pressure is not possible to wait several days before examinations available to the sterility of the solutions.
The expert confirmed that the Mainz case had nothing to do with the discussion on hospital hygiene and so-called multi-drug resistant bacteria. It must now be examined whether a systematic error is the cause of the tragic events. Of this he was going but not enough.
hospital hygiene is a matter
countries to hospital hygiene, there are only guidelines of the Robert Koch Institute, informed the speaker of the German Society for Hospital Hygiene, Karl-Dieter Zastrow. There was indeed an infection protection law of the covenant, which every hospital a hygiene plan prescribes - the device, however, remain to decide how they implement it. "Every patient thinks there is a federal law on hospital hygiene, but the truth is hygiene land thing," adds Zastrow. So far only five countries have hospital hygiene regulations laid down by law: Berlin, Bremen, Saxony, Saarland and North Rhine-Westphalia.
The hygiene in German hospitals stand despite the lack of laws but the very top. According to Zastrow is it because the hospital staff is trained very well and has internalized health strategies at work. Adequate is the current situation yet not: the German Society for Hospital Hygiene demand a law that ensures the nationwide hygiene in hospitals.
Association of Hospital Pharmacists: Hygiene standards are high
Also for the in-house pharmacies in hospitals, there are no legal hygiene requirements of the federal government. The Federal Chamber of Pharmacists pretend guidelines and recommendations for standard operating procedures, says the Vice President of the German Society of Hospital Pharmacists, Torsten Hoppe-Tichy.
The hospital pharmacist to decide whether to incorporate them into their statements. "Mostly, however, the internal rules of the hospital pharmacist stringent than the established guidelines of the Board have," says Hoppe-Tichy. The standards in Germany are subject extremely high - so it came to such incidents as rare as in Mainz.
weak immune systems of premature births
"preemies" who were not 40 weeks in the womb are weak and "immature". Your immune system can not ward off attacks by infections.
If the lung is still not mature the baby after a premature birth, can the lack of oxygen and result in respiratory distress. If the kidney is still underdeveloped, it does not produce urine. Too early babies can not drink often because they are so powerless. Many can also be the first breast milk is not properly digest. Therefore they are with a nutrient solution supplies.
This solution is initially liquid addition of glucose, carbohydrates, proteins and salts - which is the babies given by infusion directly into the blood. Gradually come to fats, vitamins and trace elements. Such liquid food is for each baby individually to the respective needs. "
