Rate of Contamination from Blood Culture in Suratthani Hospital Suratthani Province
Keywords:
hemoculture, contamination, bacteremia, sepsisAbstract
This research was survey research by cross sectional study. The objective was to study the contamination rate and type of contaminants in the hemoculture of patients admitted to the emergency department in Suratthani hospital, Suratthani province during January - December 2022. Patient data and laboratory hemoculture results were analyzed by calculating the percentage of contaminants from blood samples of 3,182 patients. The results showed 237 (7.45%) positive hemoculture samples for contaminants. The most hemoculture contaminants was the coagulase-negative Staphylococci (16.00%). The most cases of hemoculture contaminants were elderly patients aged 61 years and over (8.79%) and the least contaminated were among patients aged 21-40 years (4.35%). The hemoculture contaminants from each groups were predominantely gram positive bacteria found as the human skin flora.
