Core Tip This is a prospective, cohort, surveillance study on device-associated infection rates, mortality, length of stay and bacterial resistance conducted in intensive care units (ICUs) in Ecuador from October 2013 to January 2015. Device-associated healthcare-acquired infection rates in our ICUs from Ecuador are significantly higher than United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Healthcare Safety Network’s rates and similar to International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium’s international rates.
