HIV HEP C STD and Infectious Disease TrainingMikeLifshotz
Hepatitis C is a viral infection that affects the liver and can range from a mild illness to a serious condition. It is primarily spread through blood exposure, especially sharing needles among intravenous drug users. While most people develop a chronic infection, about 20% may clear the virus without treatment. Chronic hepatitis C can lead to liver disease, failure, and cancer over many years if left untreated. Prevention strategies focus on not sharing drug equipment and getting tested.
Hospital Aquired Infections and infection control in a healthcare setupSumi Nandwani
This document discusses hospital acquired infections and infection control in a healthcare setting.

It then provides a brief history of hygiene and discusses definitions such as hospital acquired infections. It outlines the public health importance of hospital infections, including increased mortality, morbidity, and costs. It discusses sources, routes of transmission, and factors influencing hospital acquired infections. It also describes common infection sites and criteria. The document concludes by outlining various infection control strategies including standard precautions, isolation precautions, prevention of specific infections like urinary tract and surgical site infections, and the importance of
This document summarizes OSHA regulations and best practices for handling bloodborne pathogens. It outlines the two most common bloodborne pathogens, hepatitis B and HIV, and notes that a vaccine exists to prevent hepatitis B. The standard requires employers to create an exposure control plan, provide personal protective equipment like gloves and masks, and maintain training and medical records. Following universal precautions like good hand hygiene and properly disposing of contaminated waste is essential to preventing the spread of bloodborne diseases.
Postexposure prophylaxis after needle sticks injuryVedica Sethi
Needle stick injury is defined as penetration of skin by a needle or other sharp object that has been in contact with blood products, tissue or any other body fluids before exposure. Even though the effect is negligible, it predisposes the patient to occupational exposure of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HVB), and hepatitis C Virus (HVC). ( ) The most common population to be affected is health care workers and lab personnel. The occupational exposure of such viruses is not only transmission via needle stick injury but also via contamination of mucous membranes e.g. eyes, blood or body fluids, even though needle stick injuries make up the majority of all percutaneous exposure cases. Other occupations with increased risk of needle stick injury are tattoo artists, agriculture workers, law enforcement workers, and laborers. ( )
Recognizing the occupational hazard posed by needle stick injury and the long term effect it could have on a health care worker is the most important need, with developing interventions to minimize it.
This document discusses infection control and the importance of hand hygiene in healthcare settings. It notes that while hospitals treat patients, they can also introduce risks of infection. Hand hygiene is the most important way to prevent transmission of pathogens between patients and healthcare workers. Proper handwashing and alcohol-based hand rub techniques are described that should be used before and after contact with patients according to the Five Moments for Hand Hygiene. Compliance with hand hygiene is low globally and barriers include time constraints and skin irritation.
Occupational exposure to HIV poses a risk to healthcare workers who come into contact with HIV-infected blood and fluids. The risk of transmission is relatively low but can be reduced through universal precautions and prompt treatment after exposure. Postexposure prophylaxis involving antiretroviral drugs is recommended depending on the type and severity of exposure. Common side effects of PEP can cause discontinuation so monitoring is important. Exposed workers should receive counseling and follow-up testing to promptly diagnose any potential infection.
The document summarizes successes and challenges in rolling out antiretroviral therapy (ART) in low-income countries. Key successes include increasing ART access through lowered drug prices and expanded treatment guidelines by the WHO. However, challenges remain such as late treatment initiation leading to high mortality, low pediatric diagnosis rates, limited second-line treatment options, and loss to follow up. Ongoing efforts are needed to further scale up and improve ART programs.
The document discusses OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogen Standard which requires training for employees who face exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials. It covers who is required to complete training, common bloodborne pathogens like HIV and Hepatitis B/C, how exposure occurs, use of personal protective equipment, exposure incidents, and medical follow-up procedures. The standard aims to prevent exposure in the workplace and provides safety guidelines for tasks like cleaning, waste disposal, handwashing, and use of signs/labels regarding biohazard materials.
The document discusses the components of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's Bloodborne Pathogen Standard, which aims to protect employees from diseases transmitted through contact with blood and other body fluids. It describes potential risks of exposure for assisted living facility employees and the engineering, work practice, and personal protective equipment controls that should be implemented according to the standard. The standard also requires training, vaccination, exposure follow-up procedures, and recordkeeping to prevent and properly handle any occupational exposures.

- Post-exposure management protocols for exposures, including recommended prophylaxis and follow-up testing
New microsoft office power point presentationDeepak Gupta
This document provides guidelines for occupational exposure management for healthcare workers. It defines an occupational exposure as contact with blood or body fluids through the skin or mucous membranes from work-related activities. The greatest risk is from contaminated sharps such as needles. The guidelines recommend immediate first aid after an exposure, baseline testing, and consideration of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) depending on the type and severity of exposure and the HIV status of the source patient. PEP is most effective within 72 hours of exposure. A 3-step process is outlined to determine the need for and regimen of PEP based on the exposure and source patient codes.
The document provides guidance for employees of the Chapin Area Rescue Squad on bloodborne pathogens and infection control. It outlines requirements for reporting occupational exposures, using engineering controls to reduce needlestick risks, and individual responsibilities under the village's exposure control plan. It also provides information on hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV transmission risks and postexposure prophylaxis procedures.
This document discusses proper care of intravenous catheters and prevention of hospital-acquired infections. It emphasizes that catheter insertion requires the same sterile precautions as surgery. The skin should be disinfected with chlorhexidine for 30 seconds before insertion to reduce infection risk. Intravenous lines should be replaced every 3-5 days and giving sets changed every 72 hours to prevent bacteria from contaminating the catheter and entering the bloodstream. Following basic hygiene procedures like hand washing and disinfecting medical equipment can significantly reduce infection rates.
The document discusses hand hygiene and efforts to reduce healthcare-associated infections. While hand hygiene compliance has improved due to numerous interventions, evidence shows infections have not significantly decreased. Other factors like overcrowding, understaffing, and contamination of the hospital environment may negate the benefits of hand hygiene. Strict enforcement of hand hygiene policies alone may not be effective and a balanced approach is needed that addresses systemic issues in healthcare systems.

Gamify it until you make it Improving Agile Development and Operations with ...Ben Linders
So many challenges, so little time. While we’re busy developing software and keeping it operational, we also need to sharpen the saw, but how? Gamification can be a way to look at how you’re doing and find out where to improve. It’s a great way to have everyone involved and get the best out of people.
In this presentation, Ben Linders will show how playing games with the DevOps coaching cards can help to explore your current development and deployment (DevOps) practices and decide as a team what to improve or experiment with.
The games that we play are based on an engagement model. Instead of imposing change, the games enable people to pull in ideas for change and apply those in a way that best suits their collective needs.
By playing games, you can learn from each other. Teams can use games, exercises, and coaching cards to discuss values, principles, and practices, and share their experiences and learnings.
Different game formats can be used to share experiences on DevOps principles and practices and explore how they can be applied effectively. This presentation provides an overview of playing formats and will inspire you to come up with your own formats.
1.) Introduction
Our Movement is not new; it is the same as it was for Freedom, Justice, and Equality since we were labeled as slaves. However, this movement at its core must entail economics.
2.) Historical Context
This is the same movement because none of the previous movements, such as boycotts, were ever completed. For some, maybe, but for the most part, it’s just a place to keep your stable until you’re ready to assimilate them into your system. The rest of the crabs are left in the world’s worst parts, begging for scraps.
3.) Economic Empowerment
Our Movement aims to show that it is indeed possible for the less fortunate to establish their economic system. Everyone else – Caucasian, Asian, Mexican, Israeli, Jews, etc. – has their systems, and they all set up and usurp money from the less fortunate. So, the less fortunate buy from every one of them, yet none of them buy from the less fortunate. Moreover, the less fortunate really don’t have anything to sell.
4.) Collaboration with Organizations
Our Movement will demonstrate how organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Urban League, Black Lives Matter, and others can assist in creating a much more indestructible Black Wall Street.
5.) Vision for the Future
Our Movement will not settle for less than those who came before us and stopped before the rights were equal. The economy, jobs, healthcare, education, housing, incarceration – everything is unfair, and what isn’t is rigged for the less fortunate to fail, as evidenced in society.
6.) Call to Action
Our movement has started and implemented everything needed for the advancement of the economic system. There are positions for only those who understand the importance of this movement, as failure to address it will continue the degradation of the people deemed less fortunate.
No, this isn’t Noah’s Ark, nor am I a Prophet. I’m just a man who wrote a couple of books, created a magnificent website: http://www.thearkproject.llc, and who truly hopes to try and initiate a truly sustainable economic system for deprived people. We may not all have the same beliefs, but if our methods are tried, tested, and proven, we can come together and help others. My website: http://www.thearkproject.llc is very informative and considerably controversial. Please check it out, and if you are afraid, leave immediately; it’s no place for cowards. The last Prophet said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then, with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” [Sahih Muslim] If we all, or even some of us, did this, there would be significant change. We are able to witness it on small and grand scales, for example, from climate control to business partnerships. I encourage, invite, and challenge you all to support me by visiting my website.
