Infection prevention and control is required to prevent the transmission of communicable diseases in all health care settings.
Infection prevention and control demands a basic understanding of the epidemiology of diseases; risk factors that increase patient susceptibility to infection; and the practices, procedures and treatments that may result in infections.
The risk of acquiring a healthcare-associated infection is related to the mode of transmission of the infectious agent , the type of patient-care activity or procedure being performed and the underlying patient's host defenses.
Healthcare workers should be vaccinated against preventable diseases such as hepatitis B.
Personnel at risk for exposure to tuberculosis should be screened per recommendations.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT-Personal protective equipment (PPE) refers to a variety of barriers used either alone or in combination to protect health care workers from contact with transmissible pathogens.
These include single-use disposable gloves, aprons and long-sleeved gowns as well as facial protection for eyes, nose and mouth.
Facial protection, footwear and hair cover or cap.For PPE to be protective and considered appropriate, blood and body fluids must not be able to penetrate the PPE material.
The equipment must be accessible to the employee and must be worn whenever there is the potential for exposure to infectious material; it must be removed before leaving the work area and must be placed in an area designated for PPE.
Ensure sufficient supplies of appropriate PPE. HCWs should be trained on the use of PPE as part of the infection prevention and control (IPC) training.
PPE should be removed prior to leaving the isolation room and discarded into appropriate health care waste stream.
PPE should be put on and taken off in correct sequence and disposed in accordance with the Biomedical Waste Management and Handing Rules 2016, and 2018.
Hand hygiene should always be the final step following removal and disposal of PPE.
All respirators should be fit-tested for each individual so that each person is assured that his or hers is working properly. Males must have their facial hair to achieve a tight fit.
Uses-Healthcare workers (HCWs) who provide direct care to patients and who may come in contact with blood, body fluids, excretions, and secretions.
Support staff including cleaners, and laundry staff in situations where they may have contact with blood, body fluids, secretions, and excretions.
Laboratory staff, who handle patient specimens
Family members who provide care to patients and are in a situation where they may have contact with blood, body fluids, secretions and excretions.

Unveiling America’s Respiratory Workforce Challenges: A Closer LookbluetroyvictorVinay
Understanding the Landscape: At the heart of America’s respiratory workforce challenges lies a profound need for comprehensive understanding. From rural clinics to bustling urban hospitals, healthcare providers encounter a diverse array of respiratory hazards. Factors such as air pollution, occupational exposures, and emerging infectious diseases pose significant threats to respiratory health nationwide. As the demand for respiratory care continues to rise, healthcare systems face mounting pressure to address these challenges effectively.
The Impact of Environmental Factors: Environmental factors play a pivotal role in shaping respiratory health across America. From industrial emissions to vehicular pollution, the quality of the air we breathe directly impacts respiratory well-being. In urban areas, high levels of particulate matter and pollutants contribute to respiratory ailments, exacerbating conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Moreover, climate change poses new challenges, with wildfires and extreme weather events further compromising air quality and respiratory health.
Occupational Hazards and Healthcare Workers: For frontline healthcare workers, occupational hazards loom large in the realm of respiratory health. From nurses and respiratory therapists to emergency responders, these professionals face daily exposure to airborne contaminants and infectious agents. The COVID-19 pandemic, in particular, has underscored the risks faced by healthcare workers, highlighting the need for robust respiratory protection measures and training protocols. As shortages of personal protective equipment (PPE) persist, healthcare systems grapple with the imperative of safeguarding their workforce amidst unprecedented challenges.
Challenges in Respiratory Care Delivery: Beyond environmental and occupational hazards, systemic challenges in respiratory care delivery present formidable obstacles for healthcare providers. Limited access to specialized care, disparities in healthcare resources, and gaps in respiratory education and training all contribute to the complexity of the landscape. In rural and underserved communities, access to respiratory services may be particularly limited, exacerbating disparities in respiratory outcomes and exacerbating health inequities.
Addressing the Way Forward: Despite the daunting nature of America’s respiratory workforce challenges, opportunities for progress abound. Enhanced surveillance and data collection efforts can provide insights into emerging respiratory threats, guiding targeted interventions and resource allocation. Investment in research and innovation holds the promise of advancing respiratory diagnostics, therapeutics, and preventive strategies. Moreover, strengthening interdisciplinary collaboration and promoting respiratory health literacy can empower communities to mitigate risks and promote respiratory well-being.
Contrary to their reputation as havens of healing, hospitals are home to invisible dangers known as germs that pose harm to patients and healthcare professionals alike. Hospital germ exposure has a wide range of risks, including the potential for infections, worse patient outcomes, and difficulties in preserving a secure medical environment. We examine the many aspects of hospital germ exposure in this thorough analysis, providing insight into the possible outcomes and risk-reduction tactics.

Anesthesiologist’s Prospective on Self-protection, Therapy, and Managements i...asclepiuspdfs
During the beginnings of 2020, a virus has spread from China and caused a huge surge in severe acute respiratory cases globally. Due to the high contagiousness and anomalous course of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, caused by coronavirus disease, abbreviated as COVID-19, the World Health Organization (W.H.O) announced it as a pandemic and strict measurements were implemented to try and protect the vulnerable populations and those fighting on the frontline of this wave.[1] Scientific personnel all over the world began reviewing hundreds of articles published by scientific authors about the preexisting coronaviruses to assess the strain and pathogenesis of COVID-19 and explore possible effective therapies. At the beginning of the pandemic, the goal was clear: Support the immune system by using preexisting drugs such as antibiotics and antivirals to prevent superinfections and alleviate possible foreseen complications, in addition to the use of prophylactic vaccines in high-risk groups. Another therapy option was the use of convalescent sera, which is a passive antibody therapy used as prophylaxis.[2] In this review, we conclude the importance of adhering to the precautionary guidelines set by the W.H.O recommended for health care workers and the general population, as the most important factor for protection against further transmission of the virus. The extra respiratory manifestations of the virus will also be highlighted along with the therapy modalities that are already being used and the upcoming vaccines that will counteract the virus.

=== Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szeto) ===
Ever been curious about Real Estate Investing in the US?? At Volition, for the past 14 years, we have been focused on helping investors invest in over $250M of real estate and generate $100M of wealth in the Toronto market, but we are always open to learning more about other business models and learning from other investors.
The US has always been an intriguing market to invest in. But the US is a big place… if you’re interested in investing in the US, you probably have a lot of questions, like:
☑️ Specifically WHERE should you invest?
☑️ What are the best markets to invest in and why?
☑️ How much are property prices there?
☑️ What are the returns like?
☑️ What is cashflow like?
☑️ Compared to investing in Toronto or other cities in Ontario, what are the benefits / tradeoffs?
☑️ What ownership structure should I use?
☑️ What are the tax implications?
☑️ Can I get financing?
☑️ What are tenants like?
Enter Erwin Szeto, a longtime friend of Volition. Since 2005, Erwin Szeto and his team have navigated the challenging landscape of being landlords in Ontario. Now, they are shifting their focus and guiding their clients' investments toward the more landlord-friendly environment of the USA. This decision comes after assisting Canadian clients in transacting over $440,000,000 in income properties. Faced with issues like affordability constraints, tenant-friendly laws, rent control, and rental licensing in Canada, Erwin sees a clear opportunity in the U.S. Here, there is a significant influx of investments leading to the creation of high-paying manufacturing jobs. Erwin and his clients are poised to capitalize on these opportunities where landlord rights are stronger and there is no rent control.
To facilitate this transition, Erwin has partnered with and become a client of SHARE, a one-stop-shop U.S. Asset Manager. Founded by Canadians for Canadians, SHARE enables as passive an ownership experience as possible for landlords in the U.S., while still maintaining direct, 100% ownership.

3. INTRODUCTION
Infections acquired during health-care delivery, more appropriately called health
care-associated infections, are a significant public health problem around the
world. Health care-associated infections can be acquired anywhere along the
continuum of health care settings, including long-term care, home care and
ambulatory care. They affect a large number of patients and health care workers
every year and frequently result in amplification of epidemics.
The growing emergence of antimicrobial resistance is proving that, without
appropriate infection control practices, health care facilities may act as permanent
reservoirs of resistance or amplify transmission of resistant bacteria within
facilities and in the community. The World Health Organization has taken several
measures and still taking to prevent the infection among the medical workers by
implementing several programmes , rules , education etc…
4. HEALTHCARE WORKER
A healthcare worker is anyone who works in a healthcare or social care
setting, including healthcare students on clinical placement, frontline
healthcare workers and other healthcare workers not in direct patient
contact.
These settings include, but are not limited to, state-funded and private
organizations providing services in the following areas: disability, older
persons, nursing homes, acute and non acute hospitals, community
hospitals, mental health, social inclusion, palliative care, chronic illness,
primary care (GP, dental, pharmacies, physiotherapy clinics), health and
well being, hospice, rehabilitation, home care, paramedics, and community
services (e.g. youth, substance abuse, suicide prevention, community
development).
5. RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH MEDICAL WORKERS
Healthcare workers are a key risk group because of the nature of their work. Health-care
workers are exposed to many microbiological agents that are present in patients. During the
SARS epidemics, 37%–63% of cases in some of the highly affected countries were among
health care workers . Other infections are diarrheal diseases ; more serious infections do
sometimes occur like needle - stick injuries during work with HIV patients etc…
The control of occupational exposure to biological agents in the healthcare setting is covered
by the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH).
Effective functioning of health care settings depends on a number of environmental
requirements, including safe and sufficient water, basic sanitation, adequate management of
health care waste, appropriate knowledge and application of hygiene, and adequate
ventilation.
Unsafe waste management remains a potential source of infection transmission in the region
of medical services . Experiences show that, often, health care waste management does not
follow any standard and appropriate infection control procedures.
6. SOURCES OF INFECTION
Door handles
Floors
Medical equipment
Laundry and linens : Porous materials like bed linens, patient gowns, towels and window
curtains can hold onto pathogens for longer periods of time. Used linens should be placed
in laundry bags and brought directly to the laundry facilities for sanitization. Soiled
linens should be removed immediately to prevent pathogens from spreading .
Lavatories : Patient lavatories can be one of the biggest reservoirs of infectious
pathogens.
Furniture : Beds, chairs and cabinets are all high-touch objects that must be cleaned
daily and after patient discharge.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) : When working with patients with infectious
diseases, healthcare providers should dispose their PPE in specially marked containers.
7. INFECTIOUS AGENTS CAUSING INFECTION IN
HEALTHCARE WORKERS
Infectious agents are organisms that are capable of producing infection or infectious
disease. They include bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites. Healthcare workers have a
high risk of contact with infectious agents due to the various types of activities involved
with their jobs and the possibilities of contamination. Some of them are :
Bloodborne Pathogens (BBP): HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C
Influenza (FLU) that maybe
1. Seasonal
2. Pandemic
3. Avian
4. Swine
Ebola
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
Tuberculosis (TB)
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS)
8. PREVENTION
Personal protection equipment (PPE) is all equipment used by an employee, during work,
for protection against risks and dangers that may represent a threat to health or security for
the individual.
Examples of PPE used in the laboratory are gloves, goggles/face protection, respirators,
hearing protection, lab. coat and protective footwear. Some are as follows :
1. Protective gloves
Protective gloves are found in many types, there are large differences in material,
construction, comfort and area of use. The various materials differ in their ability to
withstand various substances. There are no gloves that provide optimal protection for all
types of working operations. It is therefore very important to choose the correct type of
glove in order to achieve optimal protection for a specific operation. In some instances it
can be advantageous to combine different types of gloves for optimal protection.
2. Eye protection
It can be used when the medical worker is needed to come in contact with the blood , body
fluids , secretions , excretions etc… To prevent the contact with these goggles / face shield
can be used.
9. PREVENTION
3. Respiratory protection
There are many different types of respiratory protection equipment, the choice depending
on what it is to protect against. Respiratory protection equipment provides safety against
for example:
Dust and smoke
Gases and vapours
Aerosols
Biological factors
There are two main types of respiratory protection equipment; those that filter and those
that are based on air-supply.
Filtering respiratory protection equipment
Can be used if a suitable filter is available and if the concentration of the polluting
substance is not very high. Both half-masks and particle masks are the most common
variants used . Whole masks with or without a hood are also in use.
• Air-supplied respiratory protection equipment
Rarely used . This type of equipment either contains a motor that produces under
pressurised, such that air is sucked through the filter, or is attached to a compressed air
tank that supplies fresh air.
10. PREVENTION
4. Laboratory coat
When performing experimental work a laboratory coat is to be used to protect clothes ,
infectious agents and skin. Use coats made of cotton, since those made of synthetic
material generate static electricity and can lead to serious burns if an accident should
occur.
5. Protection ventilation :
Protective ventilation means special ventilation installations primarily used for personal
protection during work operations where there is a risk of exposure to harmful airborne
substances.
There are several different types of ventilation systems, the common ones are:
Spot ventilation
Ventilation hood
Ventilated cabinet
Fume hood (cupboard)
Ventilation bench
Safety bench
11. PERSONAL HYGIENE MEASURES
Personal hygiene measures :
Personal hygiene practices are the overall behaviors, activities, and actions that can
help the medical workers from spreading viruses and bacteria . They can be
summed up into some categories:
1. Hand practices: employees shall follow proper hand washing procedures; avoid
wearing fingernail polish or false fingernails; use single-use gloves properly; and
avoid bare hand contact.
2. Personal cleanliness: medical employees shall maintain an overall state of
cleanliness, including showering or bathing before work.
3. Work Attire: medical employees shall wear effective hair restraints, clean clothing
and clean aprons.
OTHER MEASURES :
use of aseptic technique where required
appropriate reprocessing of reusable instruments and equipment
safe handling and disposal of sharps and potentially infectious material
safe handling of waste and linen
environmental controls including cleaning and spills management.
12. PROPOSED ACTIONS FOR INFECTION CONTROL
An effective infection prevention and control programme among medical worker can only be achieved
when all essential elements are implemented in a systematic way in the context of a specific health care
environment. These core components should be implemented both at national and health care facility
levels.
The following actions are proposed:
a) Organization of infection prevention and control programmes
b) Development, dissemination and implementation of evidence-based guidelines.
c) Human capacity-building. The national level infection prevention and control authority should
establish the required contents and elements both for basic training in infection prevention and control for
all health care personnel and specialized training of infection control professionals (technical teams).
d) Surveillance and assessment of compliance with infection prevention and control
practices.
e) Microbiology laboratory support. Microbiology laboratory support is essential for an infection
prevention and control programme, particularly in highly complex health care settings (e.g. intensive care,
dialysis).
f) Environmental requirements for infection prevention and control.
g) Monitoring and evaluation of infection prevention and control programmes.
h) Links with public health and other services/societal bodies.
13. CONCLUSION
The starting point for preventing health care-associated infections in the region of
medical workers is to appreciate the burden of such infections, including the
associated costs to health care, as an emerging public health problem, and to
increase awareness that the majority of these infections are preventable by
measures that are simple, feasible and achievable in any economic setting.
Developing and implementing national policies, strategies and programmes for
infection prevention and control require a health system approach and sustained
response across all levels of the health care system.
The Regional Office will support Member States in developing evidence-based
infection control programmes suitable for their own country context. It can also
support periodic assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of national
infection control programmes. The Regional Office will provide leadership and
launch regional initiatives to bring together all stakeholders, including national
governments, international organizations and networks of regional experts,
professional bodies and hospital administrators.
