Definition
• Health Care-associated Infection (HCAI)
– Also referred to as “nosocomial” or “hospital”
infection
• “An infection occurring in a patient during the process of
care in a hospital or other health-care facility which was
not present or incubating at the time of admission. This
includes infections acquired in the health-care facility but
appearing after discharge, and also occupational
infections among health-care workers of the facility”
Sources of infection
• Self( immunity)
• Staff (contact)
• Environment (air, water)
• Instrumentation
• Food
• Iatrogenic or Procedural
• Surgical site infection
The impact of HCAI
• HCAI can cause:
– more serious illness
– prolongation of stay in
a health-care facility
– long-term disability
– excess deaths
– high additional
financial burden
– high personal costs on
patients and their
families
Importance of hospital associated
infection
• Term based payment system for hospitals
• Quality indicator: Accreditation
• Hub of M.D.R.O organisims-empiric
antibiotic guidelines/Cancer patients
Estimated rates of HCAI worldwide
– At any time, hundreds of millions of people worldwide are
suffering from infections acquired in health-care facilities
– In modern health-care facilities in the developed world:
5–10% of patients acquire one or more infections
– In developing countries the risk of HCAI is 2–20 times higher
than in developed countries and the proportion
of patients affected by HCAI can exceed 25%
– In intensive care units, HCAI affects about 30% of patients
and the attributable mortality may reach 44%
UNIVERSAL PRECAUTIONS
• Under Universal precautions , blood and certain bodily
fluids of all patients are considered as potentially infectious
for HIV, HBV and other bloodborne diseases (12). These
precautions include the use of personal protective
equipment (PPE), such as gloves, mask, gown and eyewear
appropriate for the anticipated risk, and hand hygiene, as
well as precautions to avoid needle stick injuries to both
patients and health care workers.
STANDARD AND
TRANSMISSIONPRECAUTIONS
• Standard precautions: They are based on the principle that all blood
and other bodily fluids, secretions and excretions, excluding
perspirations, may contain transmissible infectious agent. These
precautions include; hand hygiene; the use of gloves, a gown, a
mask, eye protection or a face shield, depending on the anticipated
exposure; and safe injection practices. Equipment or items in the
patient environment likely to have been contaminated with
infectious bodily fluids must be handled appropriately to prevent
transmission of infectious. Respiratory hygiene/cough etiquette.
• Transmission-based precautions should be used suspected to be
infected or colonized with infectious agents.

Prevention of HCAI
– Validated and standardized prevention strategies
have been shown to reduce HCAI
– At least 50% of HCAI could be prevented
– Most solutions are simple and not resource-
demanding and can be implemented in developed,
as well as in transitional and developing countries

Hand transmission
– Hands are the most
common vehicle to
transmit health care-
associated pathogens
– Transmission of
health care-associated
pathogens from one
patient to another via
health-care workers’
hands requires
5 sequential steps
5 stages of hand transmission
Germs present
on patient skin
and immediate
environment
surfaces
Germ transfer
onto health-
care worker’s
hands
Germs survive
on hands for
several
minutes
Suboptimal or
omitted hand
cleansing

Contaminated
hands transmit

Why should you clean your hands?
– Any health-care worker, caregiver or person involved in
patient care needs to be concerned about hand hygiene
– Therefore hand hygiene concerns you!
– You must perform hand hygiene to:
– protect the patient against harmful germs carried on your hands or present on
his/her own skin
– protect yourself and the health-care environment from harmful germs
The “My 5 Moments for Hand Hygiene”
approach
How to clean your hands
– Handrubbing with alcohol-based handrub is the
preferred routine method of hand hygiene if hands
are not visibly soiled
– Handwashing with soap and water – essential
when
when hands are visibly dirty or visibly soiled
(following visible exposure to body fluids)1
1 If exposure to spore forming organisms e.g. Clostridium difficile is strongly suspected or
proven, including during outbreaks – clean hands using soap and water
To effectively reduce the growth
of germs on hands,
handrubbing must be
performed by following all of
the illustrated steps.
This takes only 20–30 seconds!
How to handrub
How to handwash
To effectively reduce the growth
of germs on hands,
handwashing
must last 40–60 seconds
and should be performed by
following all of the illustrated
steps.
Hand hygiene and glove use
– The use of gloves does not replace the need to
clean your hands!
– You should remove gloves to perform hand
hygiene, when an indication occurs while wearing
gloves
– You should wear gloves only when indicated (see
the Pyramid in the Hand Hygiene Why, How and
When Brochure and in the Glove Use Information
Leaflet) – otherwise they become a major risk for
germ transmission
BARRIERS TO HAND HYIEGINE
Time constraint = Major factor
• Adequate handwashing with water and soap requires
40–60 seconds
• Average time usually adopted by health-care workers:
<10 seconds
• Alcohol-based
• handrubbing: 20–30 seconds

precautions. Hand hygiene should be performed when appropriate,
regardless of indications for glove use
GOWNS AND FACE MASKS
• Wear full-body, fluid-repellent gowns when there is a risk of
extensive splashing of blood, bodily fluids, secretions or
excretions, with the exception of perspiration (e.g. trauma,
operating theatres, obstetrics). In situations in which the
splashing of blood or fluid is likely or expected (e.g. in a labour
room during delivery), shoe covers should also be worn;
• Face masks and eye protection should be worn when there is
a risk of blood, bodily fluids, secretions and /or excretions
splashing into the face and eyes.
RESPIRATORY HYGIENE/COUGH ETIQUETTE
• Steps in respiratory hygiene/cough etiquette
• Anyone with signs and symptoms of a respiratory infection,
regardless of the cause, should follow or be instructed to follow
respiratory hygiene/cough etiquette as follows;
• Cover the nose/mouth when coughing or sneezing;
• Use tissues to contain respiratory secretions;
• Dispose of tissues in the nearest waste receptacle after use;
• If no tissues are available, cough or sneeze into the inner elbow
rather than the hand;
• Practice hand hygiene after contact with respiratory secretions and
contaminated objects/materials
PPE includes
• Gloves (Double gloves where used? )
• Aprons, masks, goggles. In certain situations
• In theatre, it may also include caps and
footwear
• Gloves should be worn whenever there might
be contact with blood and body fluids, mucous
membranes or non intact skin.
• Semi recumbent positioning.
• Aseptic intubation and suctioning.
• Good oral care
• Maintain gastric ph/Stress ulcer prophylaxis
• Daily weaning assessment/D.V.T Prophylaxis.

    Why should youclean your hands? – Any health-care worker, caregiver or person involved in patient care needs to be concerned about hand hygiene – Therefore hand hygiene concerns you! – You must perform hand hygiene to: – protect the patient against harmful germs carried on your hands or present on his/her own skin – protect yourself and the health-care environment from harmful germs

    The “My 5Moments for Hand Hygiene” approach
  • 16.
    How to cleanyour hands – Handrubbing with alcohol-based handrub is the preferred routine method of hand hygiene if hands are not visibly soiled – Handwashing with soap and water – essential when when hands are visibly dirty or visibly soiled (following visible exposure to body fluids)1 1 If exposure to spore forming organisms e.g. Clostridium difficile is strongly suspected or proven, including during outbreaks – clean hands using soap and water
  • 17.
    To effectively reducethe growth of germs on hands, handrubbing must be performed by following all of the illustrated steps. This takes only 20–30 seconds! How to handrub
  • 18.
    How to handwash Toeffectively reduce the growth of germs on hands, handwashing must last 40–60 seconds and should be performed by following all of the illustrated steps.
  • 19.
    Hand hygiene andglove use – The use of gloves does not replace the need to clean your hands! – You should remove gloves to perform hand hygiene, when an indication occurs while wearing gloves – You should wear gloves only when indicated (see the Pyramid in the Hand Hygiene Why, How and When Brochure and in the Glove Use Information Leaflet) – otherwise they become a major risk for germ transmission
