— Explanation · 中文詳解 —
VRE 屬於多重抗藥性細菌,必須採取嚴格的接觸隔離(Contact Precautions)。隔離措施包括專用設備、隔離衣與手套。不需要空氣隔離(C、D),也不需完全限制訪客(B),僅需教育家屬洗手。
Contact precautions are required for Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) to prevent transmission, involving the use of gloves and gowns rather than respiratory protection or visitor restriction.
✦ 台美臨床差異
美國醫院對 VRE 的篩檢與隔離非常嚴格,常持續到出院或培養轉陰;台灣臨床上則常因床位限制採取群體 Cohorting 照護。
