Professional Sports Teams Should Use MRSA Screening And Other Aggressive Methods To Prevent Staph Infections
"The NFL and other
professional sports organizations should be using the most effective tool
to protect their players from Staph infections, MRSA screening," says Betsy
McCaughey, Ph.D., Chairman of the not-for-profit Committee to Reduce
Infection Deaths (RID), whose advisory board includes NFL-team physicians.
Today, RID is releasing a new 12-Step brochure that explains how
screening and other precautions can eradicate MRSA from a sports team's
environment. The brochure is being sent to all NFL teams.
Players can be carriers of the MRSA germ without realizing it. The germ
doesn't make them sick until it gets inside their body, usually via a cut
or turf burn.
There are several websites that address the dangers of MRSA
(methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) infections contracted in the
gym or on the playing field, but none mentions screening players for the
bacteria once an infection has occurred. The screening test is a
noninvasive and inexpensive skin or nasal swab. When a player tests
positive, simple steps can be taken to remove the bacteria before it gets
inside the player's body and causes an infection.
In addition, players are at risk for a slightly different type of MRSA
when they are hospitalized for orthopedic surgery. The 12-Step brochure
also includes highly effective precautions to protect players from
hospital-acquired MRSA. These precautions need to be started several days
in advance of surgery. Players should choose surgeons with a low infection
rate and get tested for the MRSA germ in advance. Players who test positive
should bathe with chlorhexidine soap for three to five days to remove the
bacteria from the skin before the operation and, in some cases, use
mupirocin ointment in the nose, where MRSA tends to live.
In a 2007-study at New England Baptist Medical Center, these
precautions reduced the risk of post-surgical Staph infections after
orthopedic surgery by more than 50%. Screening for MRSA before orthopedic
surgery is the standard care in the British national health service. Teams
that fail to implement these readily available precautions will be
vulnerable to lawsuits when players contract MRSA.
