14 needle-stick injuries among health care workersMEEQAT HOSPITAL
Needle-stick injuries are a common occupational hazard for healthcare workers that can result in transmission of bloodborne pathogens. This document discusses a surveillance study of 38 needlestick injury cases reported at Ohud Hospital over a period of time. It found that the majority of injuries (74%) were from hollow bore needles and most occurred in the ICU and OR departments. Only 81% of injured healthcare workers were fully vaccinated against hepatitis B. The study concludes that healthcare employers should ensure workers are properly trained in safe needle practices and reporting of injuries to help prevent future exposures.

Hospital pillows - Infection control risks and measures to reduce them.conorstapleton
The document discusses hospital pillows as potential vectors for infection transmission in healthcare settings. It provides evidence from multiple studies that found reusable hospital pillows often become contaminated with pathogens like MRSA, C. difficile, and E. coli. The interior of pillows can harbor bacteria that match organisms found in colonized or infected patients. The document then introduces SleepAngel pillows, a CE marked medical device pillow with a nanopore filter membrane that has been shown in trials to prevent internal contamination, last longer than standard pillows, and help reduce healthcare-associated infections at hospitals that have implemented their use. Using fewer, longer-lasting SleepAngel pillows can also save hospitals money on laundry, disposal, and product replacement costs over

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
