Hi Ruth,
We have a protocol for adults who are colonized with MRO who are in a
rehab unit who are required to enter shared areas in the ward. You may
be able to adapt this to the requirements of paediatrics.
Kind Regards

Hi there,
We are currently reviewing procedures for managing children who are
colonised with ESBL or other GNB MDRO, specifically in relation to them
going to the play room or other shared areas on the ward. I would like
to know what you may do across the ditch in paediatric wards for this.
There are only a few specific paediatric departments in New Zealand so
more experiences would be really useful.
Do you have exclusion or inclusion criteria for these children attending
the play room or other shared areas? An example may be that they can NOT
go if still in nappies and / or have a PEG feeding tube. A written
guideline/protocol would also be useful.
Kind regards
