AbstractBacteria-controlled nursing units (BCNUs) are laminar air-flow patient isolation units. The rate of cross-colonization with resistant organisms in 66 critically ill pediatric burn patients with massive open wounds and ventilators housed in BCNUs during 5 years was examined and found to be extremely low (3.2 cases per 1,000 patient-days).
