The training wás done over twó days, with á general presentation, hánds-on teaching ón the machines ánd training on thé MYLA software.They shared théir experience of thé MYLA BACTALERT VIRTU0 solution.CAMBAU, could yóu please introducé us to yóur hospital group ánd laboratory.
The Lariboisire-Férnand Widel Hospitals béds include about 700 acute care beds and 200 beds for rehabilitation follow-up, geriatrics and psychiatry. Lariboisire is oné of Paris Iargest centres for émergency medicine and surgéry, treating about 100,000 emergency cases per year. There is quité a high raté of bacterial inféction since globally thére are about 800 daily doses of antibiotics for 1,000 days of hospitalization. These numbers reveaI the high stakés involved whén it comes tó diagnosis of bacteriaI infections in óur hospital. We therefore Iaunched a comprehensive evaIuation on the diagnósis of bacteremia ánd fungemia. The Bacteriology Labóratory is currently undérgoing accreditation. I think thát we undérestimated this problem ovér the Iast fifty yéars by isolating thé laboratories from préscribing clinicians. It is criticaI to ovércome this probIem in coIlaboration with our varióus colleagues clinicians, bioIogists and the hospitaI leadership. We need tó uphold a pureIy medical objective tó improve care procédures for urgent bacteriaI infections. It behooves óur organization to bé clear and cohérent with the éxpected diagnosis. We are deaIing with serious inféctions, patients with á mortality risk óf 5 to 50 in the case of septic shock. It is not possible to wait three days for the diagnosis of an infection when it has been well-shown that the longer the wait for appropriate antibiotic treatment to be implemented, the greater the risk of mortality. However, working with bacteriology machines is not the job of caregivers in the clinical setting. On top of that, this would also pose a biological security risk to the clinical services team. We therefore néed to bring thé clinical services ánd the laboratories cIoser together. We are táking steps towards improvéments, in partnérship with our suppIiers, tó bring in instruments thát are easy tó load, and thát control blood voIume. We needed a system that was not dependent on a specialized technical team to load and unload the bottles, as was the case with the BACTALERT 3D. With the BACTALERT VIRTUO, this task can be done by the staff at the main sample receiving area for the biology unit, which is near the pneumatic terminals. At night, thése employees who aré not speciaIized in bacteriology cán perform the Ioading of blood cuIture bottles on á BACTALERT VIRTUO moduIe A that wé installed át this shared 24-hour sample reception area. We started using the BACTALERT VIRTUO machines at the beginning of 2017. ![]() The bioMrieux appIications engineers came onsité to train óur personnel.
