PERBEDAAN PENGAMBILAN SAMPEL DARAH SECARA BERURUTAN DAN BEDA WAKTU TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN KUMAN PADA PASIEN BAKTEREMIA

Abstract

Background : prevalence of severe septic are still high. Bacterial infection is the most common cause of septic shock that needs to be detected as soon as possible to reduce it’s mortality rate. Objective : to analyze the diference of bacterial growth between simultaneous blood sampling and sequential blood sampling among septicaemic patiens at RSDK Semarang.

Result : the study showed that 37,3% of patiens were positive in the result of their blood culture. The frequency of bacteremia is higher in older patient. The main ethiologies of bacteremia or sepsis are Staphylococcus, Enterobacter, E coli and Pseudomonas. Using fisher’s test was found blood sampling technique and blood culture result observation (p=0,323). Conclution : there were no significant relation between blood sampling technique and blood culture result. Key words : bacteremia, blood sampling technique, septicaemia.
