Prevention of Healthcare Associated Infections in Bone Marrow Transplant Patients
Study Overview

Conditions
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Bacteria and other microbes are everywhere, the majority of which are harmless. They live on our bodies, on everyday objects, in food, and in our environment. They are passed around through the many interactions with other people and our surroundings. Some are even beneficial, helping us digest our food or protecting us from infections caused by harmful microbes.
In rare instances, some of the harmful microbes can cause infections. When a microbe causes an infection while we are in healthcare facilities, they are called "Healthcare-associated infections", or "HAIs". Examples that you may have heard of include Clostridium difficile, and MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). Vancouver General Hospital already has some of the lowest HAI rates in the country. We have dedicated hospital workers that do a great job at preventing HAIs, but we are always looking for ways to be even better.
