Effect of daily pillow cover replacement on the incidence of carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) in the medical intensive care units (MICU): a comparative study
When integrated into existing IPC bundles, daily pillow-cover replacement may reduce CRAB cross-transmission in the MICU. This simple, low-cost intervention with high compliance offers a promising strategy for improving environmental hygiene and infection control in high-risk settings.
