This document outlines guidelines for infection control and prevention, including universal precautions for healthcare workers. It discusses modes of disease transmission, proper hand hygiene techniques, use of personal protective equipment, and safe handling of contaminated medical supplies to prevent the spread of infections. The role of healthcare workers is to follow these protocols to minimize transmission and provide educated care for all patients regardless of infection status.

This document discusses key concepts of infection control, including definitions of infection and colonization. It notes that healthcare-associated infections are a major problem, with higher rates in developing countries. Factors influencing infection risk include microbial agents, patient susceptibility, and environmental factors. The document outlines standard and transmission-based precautions to prevent infection spread. It emphasizes hand hygiene, personal protective equipment, and cleaning and disinfection as core infection control measures.
The document provides information about an infection control orientation program. It discusses the infection control unit's mission to identify, control, and prevent infections. It outlines the infection control team members and various infection control policies and procedures, including standard and transmission-based precautions, waste management, sharps safety, hand hygiene, and medical record identification of infectious diseases. The overall goal is to facilitate safe care and prevent the spread of infections in the healthcare setting.
This document discusses infection control in intensive care units (ICUs) and strategies to prevent device-associated infections like central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI), catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI), and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). It outlines risk factors in critically ill patients and recommendations to reduce infections, such as following maximal sterile barrier precautions during central line insertion, maintaining closed drainage systems, and daily oral care with chlorhexidine for ventilated patients. The objectives are to define hospital-acquired infections, explain types of device-associated infections in ICUs, and describe prevention methods and key performance indicators to reduce infection rates.
Surveillance of healthcare associated infectionsTHL
This document discusses the role of nurses in healthcare-associated infection (HAI) surveillance in Finland. It describes how HAI surveillance is conducted nationally through several programs coordinated by the Finnish Hospital Infection Program. Nurses, particularly infection control nurses, play a key role in HAI data collection, reporting, and feedback. They work with link nurses and other staff to identify HAI cases using standardized protocols. The data are used to monitor HAI rates and prevent infections by informing guidelines. Nurses receive training to build their competencies in infection control and HAI surveillance.
This document discusses disinfection in healthcare facilities. It defines disinfection as destroying nearly all pathogenic microorganisms on an inanimate surface using chemical or heat processes. This is different from sterilization which eliminates all microorganisms. The document outlines factors that impact the effectiveness of disinfectants like moisture, dilution, and contact time. It also discusses matching the appropriate level of disinfection like high, intermediate, or low to the intended use and risk level of devices based on the Spaulding Classification System. Finally, it provides details on common chemical disinfectants like alcohols, phenolics, quaternary ammonium compounds, halogens, glutaraldehyde and their characteristics and appropriate uses.
Hospital acquired infections (HAIs) are a major issue for patients and hospitals. Around 10% of hospital patients acquire an infection, costing twice as much to treat compared to patients without infections. Common HAIs include urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and surgical site infections. Proper hand hygiene and limiting unnecessary visits and procedures can help reduce the spread of infections. It is important for patients to be aware of infection risks and symptoms so they can advocate for their own care.
