MEDICAL SURGICAL PPT. By Mr.Pradeepsingh
This document discusses standard safety precautions for nurses. It defines standard precautions as basic infection control measures used for all patients to reduce transmission of pathogens. The key elements of standard precautions discussed are hand hygiene, use of personal protective equipment like gloves and gowns, safe handling of equipment and waste, and respiratory hygiene. The document then provides details on proper procedures for handwashing, surgical scrub, donning gowns, masks and gloves to maintain sterility and prevent spread of infection.
Guidance for the selection and use of personal
This document provides guidance on the selection and use of personal protective equipment (PPE) in healthcare settings. It defines PPE and outlines regulations from OSHA and recommendations from CDC on appropriate PPE use. The document describes different types of PPE including gloves, gowns, masks, respirators, goggles, and face shields. It provides details on proper donning, use, and removal of PPE to prevent the spread of infectious materials and outlines PPE recommendations for standard and expanded isolation precautions. The overarching goal is to improve personnel safety through appropriate PPE use in healthcare environments.
Universal precautions
This document outlines universal precautions for preventing the transmission of diseases through contact with blood and bodily fluids. It defines universal precautions as measures to treat all bodily fluids as potentially infectious. Key precautions include hand washing, use of gloves, masks, protective clothing and eyewear when exposure to bodily fluids is anticipated, and safe handling and disposal of needles. Proper removal of personal protective equipment and treatment following accidental needle sticks are also covered.
surgical asepsis
Standard precautions are a set of infection control practices used to reduce transmission of microorganisms in healthcare settings. They include proper hand hygiene, use of personal protective equipment like masks, gloves, and gowns, and cleaning and disinfection of rooms and equipment. Standard precautions protect both healthcare workers and patients and are the basic level of precautions used with all patients. They also include contact, droplet, and airborne precautions which have additional requirements for isolating patients with certain infectious diseases.
surgical asepsi
Surgical asepsis refers to procedures used to keep objects and areas completely free from microorganisms. It aims to eliminate both pathogenic and nonpathogenic microbes. Standard precautions like hand hygiene, personal protective equipment, and respiratory etiquette are used to reduce disease transmission. Proper aseptic techniques like sterile fields, principles of asepsis, and transmission-based precautions help maintain sterility and interrupt infection pathways.

The document discusses principles for the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) by public health practitioners. It defines PPE as specialized clothing or equipment worn to protect against dangerous or infectious materials. The document outlines various types of PPE including gowns, masks, respirators, goggles, gloves, and shoe covers. It provides guidance on properly donning and removing PPE to prevent the spread of infection. Maintaining good hand hygiene and properly disposing of used PPE are emphasized.
Infection prevention and control
Standard precautions are a set of practices used to prevent transmission of infectious diseases. They include hand hygiene, use of personal protective equipment, respiratory hygiene, safe injection practices, proper handling and disposal of linens and medical waste, cleaning and disinfection, and patient placement. Standard precautions should be applied universally for all patient care regardless of diagnosis or infectious status.
Isolation Precaution
The document summarizes guidelines from the Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee from 2007 on preventing the transmission of infectious agents in healthcare settings. It outlines two tiers of precautions: standard precautions that should be used for all patient contact, and transmission-based precautions that are used in addition for certain infectious diseases. Standard precautions include hand hygiene and the use of personal protective equipment. Transmission-based precautions include contact, droplet, and airborne precautions used for diseases spread by direct contact, large respiratory droplets, or airborne transmission, respectively.

Hypotension and role of physiotherapy in it
This particular slides consist of- what is hypotension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.

Gemma Wean- Nutritional solution for Artemia
GEMMA Wean is a high end larval co-feeding and weaning diet aimed at Artemia optimisation and is fortified with a high level of proteins and phospholipids. GEMMA Wean provides the early weaned juveniles with dedicated fish nutrition and is an ideal follow on from GEMMA Micro or Artemia.
GEMMA Wean has an optimised nutritional balance and physical quality so that it flows more freely and spreads readily on the water surface. The balance of phospholipid classes to- gether with the production technology based on a low temperature extrusion process improve the physical aspect of the pellets while still retaining the high phospholipid content.
GEMMA Wean is available in 0.1mm, 0.2mm and 0.3mm. There is also a 0.5mm micro-pellet, GEMMA Wean Diamond, which covers the early nursery stage from post-weaning to pre-growing.
