Transmission based precautions (TBP) by Dr. Rakesh Prasad Sah
This document discusses transmission-based precautions for preventing the spread of infectious diseases. It describes three main types of precautions - contact, droplet, and airborne - based on the route of transmission.
Contact precautions are used for diseases spread through direct or indirect contact and include practices like wearing gloves and gowns. Droplet precautions are used for diseases transmitted through respiratory droplets within 1 meter and include wearing a surgical mask. Airborne precautions are used for diseases transmitted through small particles that remain suspended in the air like tuberculosis, and require an N95 respirator mask and isolation in a negative pressure room. The document outlines the specific protective measures needed for each precaution type.
Needle stick Injuries concerns and prevention
Nurse and doctors are most at risk of needlestick injuries which commonly occur during disposal. Recapping needles is a major risk factor. Such injuries can expose workers to Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV. The risk of infection is highest for deep injuries involving visible blood. Proper sharps disposal, safety devices, and vaccination can help prevent injuries. Hospitals must provide post-exposure prophylaxis drugs according to guidelines to protect healthcare workers.
Sharp injury
This document discusses sharps injuries among healthcare personnel and recommendations to prevent such injuries. It notes that there are an estimated 385,000 sharps injuries annually, with nurses being the occupational group most commonly exposed. The six devices that account for most injuries are disposable syringes, suture needles, winged-steel needles, intravenous catheter stylets, phlebotomy needles, and scalpels. Over a third of injuries are disposal-related. Recommendations include using safety-engineered devices, safe handling practices like neutral zones, and proper disposal in closable sharps containers.
Infection Control
The document discusses infection control procedures for healthcare workers. It covers the goals of infection control training which are to educate workers on pathogen transmission in the workplace and apply principles to minimize risks. Standard precautions that should be used with all patients are outlined, including hand hygiene, use of gloves, gowns and masks. Additional contact and airborne precautions are described for patients with certain infections.
Hand hygiene
This document discusses hand hygiene in healthcare settings. It notes that hands are often contaminated through routine patient care and that proper hand hygiene, including cleaning with alcohol-based hand rubs, is the most effective way to prevent transmission of pathogens between patients and healthcare workers. The document recommends cleaning hands before and after contact with patients, before clean procedures, after risk of exposure to body fluids, and after contact with the patient environment.

This document discusses needlestick injuries among healthcare workers. It notes that such injuries are caused by stress, carelessness, improper passing of sharps, and lack of knowledge about the seriousness. Nurses have the highest risk of injury, making up 48% of those affected. The highest sources of injury are garbage bags, needle recapping, and IV line administration. While the risk of infection from a needlestick is low, healthcare workers should still promptly report injuries and follow post-exposure protocols to reduce risk of hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or HIV transmission. Proper sharps disposal, immunization, and avoiding risky behaviors can help reduce needlestick injuries among healthcare workers.
14 needle-stick injuries among health care workers
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.
Needle stick injury Prevention and Management by Dr. Rakesh Prasad Sah
1) Needle stick injuries can result in exposure to bloodborne viruses like hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV. The risk of infection depends on factors like the type of needle and whether the needle was visibly contaminated with blood.
2) Immediate first aid for exposures includes washing wounds with soap and water and flushing splashes to the eyes or mouth with water. Exposed individuals should also take the first dose of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for HIV as soon as possible.
3) Management of exposures involves testing the source for bloodborne viruses, evaluating the exposure risk, deciding on PEP treatment, obtaining consent, counselling, and follow-up testing of exposed individuals to monitor for potential

Needle stick injury and hazards of needle stick
Needlestick injuries are wounds caused by sharps that accidentally puncture the skin.
Needlestick injuries are a hazard for people who work with hypodermic syringes and other needle equipment.
These injuries can occur at any time when people use, disassemble, or dispose of needles.
Hand hygiene
Hospital-acquired infections are infections acquired in a hospital setting after at least 48 hours of admission. They pose a significant financial burden and risk to patients that increases with longer hospital stays. Standard precautions like proper hand hygiene, use of personal protective equipment, cleaning of equipment and surfaces can prevent the transmission of infections between patients and healthcare workers through contact with bodily fluids or contaminated items. Proper hand hygiene, which includes hand washing with soap and water or use of alcohol-based hand rub, is especially important before and after contact with patients to limit the spread of pathogens.
Needle stick injury
Needlestick injuries are accidental punctures of the skin from needles. They are commonly caused by unsafe practices like recapping used needles. Recapping needles is especially dangerous as the needle can miss the cap and injure the hand. Improper disposal of used needles, like leaving them in waste bins, also increases the risk of needlestick injuries. To prevent these injuries, medical workers should avoid recapping needles, plan safe needle handling and disposal procedures, use safety-engineered devices, and immediately report any needlestick injuries according to protocol.
Infection control and prevention
This document provides an introduction to infection control and prevention. It discusses key topics such as causes of infection, standard precautions, personal protective equipment, hand hygiene, waste disposal, outbreak management, and legislation related to infection control. The goal is to minimize, prevent, and control the spread of infection through education on transmission routes, the chain of infection, and employer and employee responsibilities.
Hand hygiene
This document discusses hand hygiene and its importance in preventing hospital-acquired infections. It provides an overview of the history of hand hygiene dating back to Semmelweis' findings in the 1800s. While hand hygiene is known to be effective, compliance remains a challenge. The document reviews best practices for hand washing and the use of alcohol-based hand rubs, and discusses strategies to improve hand hygiene compliance among healthcare workers.
Infection control practices in hospital
This document discusses universal precautions for infection control, including proper hand hygiene, use of personal protective equipment, safe injection practices, and waste disposal.

Needle stick injuries are a common hazard for healthcare workers and laboratory staff, occurring in about 1/3 of nurses and lab personnel each year. Such injuries most often occur during use of needles, especially during disposal or recapping. Recapping needles is particularly dangerous and is the single largest cause of needle stick injuries. Proper safety equipment, training, disposal procedures and surveillance programs are needed to help prevent these exposures and protect workers from bloodborne diseases.
Safe injection practice, INJECTION SAFETY
This presentation discusses injection safety and outlines safe practices for using single-dose vials and drawing up medications. It defines injection safety as a set of measures to perform injections safely for patients and healthcare workers. Key points include: single-dose vials should only be used for one patient; multi-dose vials should ideally be dedicated to a single patient; needles and syringes are single-use and should not be used for multiple patients or medication vials; and medications should be drawn up aseptically in a clean designated area. Following these practices can prevent infections and protect patient and provider safety.
safe injection practice as per NABH.pptx
Safe injection practices are intended to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases between patients or between patients and healthcare personnel. The key steps of safe injection practices include cleaning the work space, proper hand hygiene, using sterile syringes and needles for each patient, properly disinfecting medication vials, safely collecting sharps, and properly disposing of waste. Healthcare facilities should provide regular training to all personnel on safe injection practices and periodically observe practices to ensure they are being followed correctly.
Isolation Precaution
The document summarizes guidelines from the Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee from 2007 on preventing the transmission of infectious agents in healthcare settings. It outlines two tiers of precautions: standard precautions that should be used for all patient contact, and transmission-based precautions that are used in addition for certain infectious diseases. Standard precautions include hand hygiene and the use of personal protective equipment. Transmission-based precautions include contact, droplet, and airborne precautions used for diseases spread by direct contact, large respiratory droplets, or airborne transmission, respectively.
Hand hygiene
The document discusses the importance of hand hygiene in healthcare settings for preventing the spread of infections from healthcare workers' hands to patients. It notes that hand hygiene, including proper hand washing and use of alcohol-based hand rub, is the most effective way to reduce transmission of harmful germs. However, compliance with hand hygiene guidelines among healthcare workers remains unacceptably low. The document therefore recommends various strategies and products like alcohol-based hand rub to help improve hand hygiene practices in clinical settings.

Sharp safe working in the dental
This document provides guidance on safe working practices involving sharp instruments in dental surgeries. It discusses why sharp injury prevention is important to avoid transmission of bloodborne viruses. Common scenarios where sharp injuries can occur are described, such as needlestick injuries during recapping. Engineering controls and work practice guidelines are recommended to minimize risks. Proper disposal of sharps in puncture-resistant containers is also covered. The document aims to educate dental practitioners on best practices for avoiding sharp injuries.
Postexposure prophylaxis after needle sticks injury
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.

The goal is to train staff on breaking the chain of infection and preventing the spread of disease in healthcare settings.
Why is an 'unnecessary' injection unsafe?
The more injections that are given, the more people are exposed to needles and syringes. Also, if the number of injections given exceeds the supplies of sterile injection equipment, re-use of syringes and needles is likely to occur. Therefore, the greater the use of injections, the higher the risk to the patient and the community at large.
NSI-STP.ppt
The document discusses preventing needlestick injuries among healthcare workers. It defines needlestick injuries as penetrating wounds from needles or other sharps that can expose workers to bloodborne pathogens. Nurses have the highest risk of such injuries. The main causes of needlestick injuries are improper disposal of sharps, administering injections, drawing blood, and recapping needles. To prevent injuries, workers should use safety devices, dispose of sharps immediately, avoid passing sharps hand to hand, and not recap needles if possible. If an injury occurs, the area should be washed with soap and water and the worker should report the incident and receive appropriate post-exposure treatment depending on the pathogen involved.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
