Precautions to Prevent Transmission of Infectious Agents Among Patients and Personnel: Isolation

•
•
I
icsp

1. The document discusses isolation precautions and strategies to prevent the transmission of infectious agents among patients and healthcare personnel. 2. It argues that traditional isolation based only on recognized infections may be less effective than universal "generic precautions" applied to all patients due to delays in diagnosis and protection of susceptible sites. 3. Generic barrier precautions like gloves, gowns, and hand hygiene have been shown in research to reduce the transmission of various pathogens when used consistently for all patient interactions involving contact with moist body substances.
