RESUMEN
Since prevention and control of hospital-generated infections comprises one of the priorities in today's hospitals, the authors analyze how two infusion kits function; one kit is the classical version normally used in the hospital where this study took place and the other is a new kit which incorporates a security system. After carrying out a statistical and cost analysis, the authors conclude that the new perfusion system is cost effective, providing, among other factors, a savings of 62.083 Euro per hospitalized patient.

Puesto que la prevención y control de la infección hospitalaria constituye una de las prioridades de los hospitales actuales, se analiza el funcionamiento de dos tipos de equipos de infusión: el clásico, utilizado normalmente en el hospital donde se desarrolla el estudio, y uno nuevo que incorpora un sistema de seguridad. Tras efectuar un análisis estadístico y de costes se concluye que el nuevo sistema de perfusión resulta coste-efectivo, consiguiendo -entre otros elementos- un ahorro por paciente hospitalizado de 62,083 (AU)
