Abstract
The increase in nosocomial infections observed in recent decades is due not only to a decrease in the immunobiological resistance of the body, but also to changes in the biological properties of microorganisms that cause diseases. In the structure of nosocomial infections, 85% are due to purulent- inflammatory diseases and only 15% to infections (salmonellosis, escherichiosis, viral hepatitis). Purulent-septic complications can affect up to 35% of surgical patients; on average, they occur in 15.7% of patients in general surgery departments. A correlation has been noted between the duration of anesthesia during surgery and the incidence of postoperative infection . The occurrence of hospital infections in patients with diseases of the larynx is often associated with various diagnostic and therapeutic manipulations on this organ. During intubation and tracheotomy, such complications are observed in 18.7% of patients. The frequency of nosocomial infections in intensive care units is higher than in others and reaches 27% .
