Action Period AssignmentRapid detection and precautions for C diff – test a process:

To expedite patients being placed on contact precautions when C diff is suspected or confirmed

- Test a flag, prompt, etc. to automatically initiate contact precaution when CDI test is ordered. (one unit, one nurse/unit clerk, refine based on initial test)

- Test a process to review patient placed on oral metronidazole or oral vancomycin, for need for contact precautions (one unit, one pharmacist/nurse, one day on MDR’s – refine based on initial test)

- Test a process to enhance STAT reporting of CDI, ie: critical value(one unit, one week, partner with laboratory – refine based on initial test)

What did you test/learn? Insights? Surprises?

Focus on an early and reliable diagnosis

Isolate patients immediately

Wear gloves and gowns for all contact with patient

and patient care environment

Assure adequate cleaning of the patient care

on a regular

basis

testing

Consider

protocols

Pair testing with

order for Contact

Precautions

Use more

sensitive testing

methods

10/16/2014

24

Optimizing Testing

Enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for toxin sensitivity 48%-

67%

More sensitive tests:

Nucleic-acid amplification tests (NAAT)

• Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)

• Loop-mediated amplification (LAMP)

2- or 3- step testing algorithms using GDH + toxin testing of

positive specimens

• GDH less sensitive (79%-98%) compared to NAAT or toxigenic

culture in a recent meta-analysis

Peterson et al. Clin Infect Dis 2007;45:1152-60

Shetty et al. J Hosp Infect 2011;77:1-6

First and Foremost…

• For any testing method, you need a favorable pre-

test probability of disease for optimal performance

– Diagnostic accuracy improves with increasing

prevalence of disease in the population tested

• That means testing appropriately:

– Watery/unformed stool (conforms to shape of

container)

– At least 3 unformed stools in 24 hours

– Avoidance of repeat testing, tests of cure

10/16/2014

25

Potential Benefits of More Sensitive Testing

Fewer isolation days for negative patients

Fewer repetitive tests performed (46% at one institution

with restriction rules in place)

In theory, earlier treatment initiation, reduced

complications, and improved infection control

Environmental Cleaning:

use of Sporicidal Agents

• EPA registered disinfectants with sporicidal claim:

http://www.epa.gov/oppad001/chemregindex.htm

• Limited data suggest disinfecting with bleach (1:10

dilution prepared fresh daily) reduces C. difficile

transmission in units with high endemic rates

• Therefore, sporicidal agents may be most effective

in reducing burden where CDI is highly endemic

Environmental Cleaning Evaluation

Toolkit

Assessing Environmental Cleaning: ATP Method Compared to Fluorescent Marker

30 rooms of recently discharged patients, pre- vs. post

cleaning

Larger relative light unit (RLU) and fluorescent marker (FM)

reductions seen on

Bed control panel, phone, TV remote, bedside table

compared to:

Bathroom flush handle/grab bar, IV pole, bedrail, door handle

Greater RLU reductions associated with FM removal for the

first set of surfaces

Discrepancies on other surfaces

Differential adherence to cleaning vs. surface characteristics vs.

limitations of methods?

Mechanical Spore Removal: Though

Much Can be Achieved, Still More to Be

Done• Wiping alone (25 sq.cm.)

– Nonsporicidal disinfectant: 2.90 log reduction

– Sporicidal disinfectant: 3.70 log reduction

• Spraying alone

– Sporicidal disinfectant: 3.40 log reduction

– Prolonged drying times and no removal of debris

“We believe the use of a wiping procedure with a sporicidal agent provides excellent removal and inactivation of spores and is an integral part of C. difficile control measures.”

Rutala et al. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2012;33(12):1255-1258

How Could Non-sporicidal Disinfectants

Fail in Practice?

• “Clean bench top surface” inoculated with 105 dried spores

• 10 second wipe with:

– Fresh hypochlorite wipe

– Used hypochlorite wipe (expended on 25 sq.ft. surface)

– Wipe saturated with quaternary ammonium agent

• Wipe (10 sec) of 4 successive “clean sites”

• 5 minute contact/drying

• Swab sampling of “sites”

– vortex in neutralizer,

– plated on agar

Success in Reducing CDI Using a

Sporicidal Wipe for Daily and Terminal

Cleaning• Before/after study in two high-risk medical wards

• Intervention:

– Daily and terminal cleaning of ALL rooms with ATP monitoring

before/after (similar pass rate)

– Quaternary ammonium compound before

– Hypochlorite wipes with 10 minute contact time after

• Results: 24.2 to 3.6 cases per 10,000 patient-days (85% decline)

Orenstein et al. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2011;32(11):1137-1139

Role of asymptomatic shedders in C. difficile transmission?

To what degree do asymptomatic carriers spread spores

to the environment?

How long do patients continue to shed after treatment?

31

Only ~30% of Hospital-associated CDI Linked to Previous Symptomatic Cases

Using advanced, highly discriminatory typing

At least 29% definitively linked to asymptomatic

carriers

Transmission between wards common

Limitation: study did not use molecular diagnostics

Expect a greater proportion linked to prior symptomatic patients

(CDI) with increased sensitivity

Implications?

Should we test for asymptomatic carriage?

Special measures for asymptomatic carriers – e.g., gloves,

sporicidal disinfectants?

Action Period Assignment

Role of the environment:

Test a checklist to assess terminal Environmental cleaning: |* your current internal checklist and/or:“CDC Environmental Checklist for Monitoring Terminal Cleaning”

- Does your current process/procedure address all the components of the CDC checklist? (ie: are there additional that your organization has identified as necessary/important? Are there components you can add to enhance your current process?)

- Request input/feedback on current process from:1) Environmental Services: current barriers/constraints they encounter in completing terminal cleaning (ie: adequate time to turn around room? Reliable notification of patient w/C diff being moved/discharged? Other? )

2) Nursing: are there current constraints(ie: ensuring Env Services are promptly & reliably notified if C diff? High census? Lack of private rooms? Other?)

Incorporate input from Nursing and/or Environmental Services to test a change to your current process
