Biosafety in Health Care Practices to Prevent Health Care Associated Infectio...Dr. Rakesh Prasad Sah
This document discusses hospital infection control and prevention of healthcare-associated infections. It covers major types of infections, transmission modes, and key infection control practices like standard and transmission-based precautions. Standard precautions include hand hygiene, personal protective equipment, and respiratory etiquette. Transmission-based precautions include contact, droplet, and airborne precautions used based on infection type and transmission mode. Proper implementation of infection control protocols can help reduce the risk of transmitting infections to patients and healthcare workers.
The document outlines the 5 moments for hand hygiene which are designed to prevent the transmission of harmful microorganisms in healthcare settings. The 5 moments are: 1) before touching a patient, 2) before a procedure, 3) after a procedure or body fluid exposure risk, 4) after touching a patient, and 5) after touching a patient's surroundings when the patient has not been touched. Adhering to hand hygiene at these 5 moments helps reduce the spread of infection among patients and healthcare workers.
This document discusses hand hygiene in healthcare settings. It explains that hand hygiene is the most important way to prevent the transmission of harmful germs and healthcare-associated infections, as hands are the main way germs spread. It describes how and when healthcare workers should clean their hands, either by rubbing with an alcohol-based handrub if hands are not visibly dirty, or washing with soap and water if dirty. The five key moments for hand hygiene are outlined as before touching a patient, before clean procedures, after body fluid exposure risks, after touching a patient, and after touching the patient's surroundings. Glove use does not replace hand hygiene.

Ic lecture for general hospital orientation program updatedNashwa Elsayed
This document provides an overview of an infection control orientation program. It discusses the importance of infection control in healthcare settings and the roles and responsibilities of an infection control department. It covers key aspects of an infection control program including standard and transmission-based precautions, healthcare-acquired infections, the chain of infection, multi-drug resistant organisms, isolation techniques, and management of exposures. It also addresses specific policies around hand hygiene, personal protective equipment, laboratory specimens, cleaning, waste disposal, and management of needlestick injuries.
Hand hygiene is the most important measure to prevent the transmission of harmful germs and healthcare-associated infections. It explains the 5 key moments when hand hygiene should be performed: 1) before touching a patient, 2) before clean/aseptic procedures, 3) after body fluid exposure risk, 4) after touching a patient, and 5) after touching patient surroundings. Hand hygiene should be performed by either rubbing hands with an alcohol-based formulation or washing with soap and water depending on the situation. Proper hand hygiene and glove use are essential to reduce infection risk.
The document discusses hand hygiene and its importance in preventing the spread of infections in healthcare settings. It provides background on Ignaz Semmelweis's pioneering work demonstrating that hand washing with chlorinated lime solution reduced maternal mortality at a Viennese hospital in the 1840s. It discusses the difference between colonization and infection, and how bacteria can be transmitted from colonized patients via healthcare workers' hands even without symptoms of infection. It emphasizes that hand hygiene, especially with alcohol-based sanitizers, is effective at removing transient bacteria and preventing transmission between patients or from the healthcare setting to the home.
Healthcare-associated infections affect millions of patients worldwide each year. According to the WHO, on average 8.7% of hospital patients suffer from healthcare-associated infections. Preventing the spread of infections requires proper knowledge, skills, and adherence to infection control practices among healthcare providers. This includes appropriate hand hygiene, use of personal protective equipment, respiratory hygiene, safe disposal of sharps, cleaning of the environment, and handling of contaminated linen. Adhering to infection control protocols can help reduce the risk of transmitting infections to patients and healthcare workers.
This document discusses the principles and practices of asepsis, including hand hygiene and environmental cleaning. It defines medical and surgical asepsis, noting that medical asepsis aims to reduce pathogens between patients while surgical asepsis prevents any organism introduction. Key principles of both include maintaining cleanliness of healthcare providers, equipment, and patient surroundings. Proper hand hygiene, including rubbing with alcohol or washing with soap and water, is critical before and after contact with patients or surfaces. Thorough environmental cleaning and disinfection using appropriate agents and durations can reduce pathogens on surfaces.
