Handwashing II: Pre-procedure and Initial Procedure Steps01:19

Handwashing II: Pre-procedure and Initial Procedure Steps

The pre-procedure steps of handwashing include removing jewelry and rolling up sleeves. However, many organizations allow staff to wear wedding rings.
The hand washing procedure itself includes the following steps. First, cover cuts, if any, on hands with a waterproof dressing.

Hand hygiene

Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves.

Handwashing I: Introduction and Types of Equipment

Handwashing is hand hygiene with plain or antimicrobial soap and water to physically remove dirt, organic material, and microorganisms. However, it may not kill all microorganisms. The handwashing procedure requires a hand wash basin, liquid soap, paper towels, a domestic waste bin, and disposable nail cleaner as optional equipment.
Hand wash basins in clinical areas should have faucets that can be turned on and off without using the hands; that is, they should be non-touch or lever-operated.
PPE Use in Healthcare Settings II: Doffing01:10

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings II: Doffing

The sequence of removing or doffing PPE starts with the gloves, as they are the most contaminated. Next is removal of the face shield or goggles, as they would interfere with removing other PPE. Then remove the gown, followed by the mask or respirator. Perform hand hygiene between steps if hands become contaminated and immediately after removing all PPE. Generally, the outside front and sleeves of the isolation gown, the goggles or the mask, the respirator, and the face shield are contaminated.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Occupational Medicine

Context:

  • Hand eczema (HE) is a common skin condition with both internal and external causes.
  • Occupational hand eczema (OHE) is a frequent, chronic, and relapsing condition.
  • OHE results from irritant and allergenic exposures in the workplace.

Purpose:

  • To outline the multifaceted nature of occupational hand eczema.
  • To highlight the significant impact of OHE on patients and their careers.
  • To present a comprehensive management strategy for OHE.

Summary:

  • OHE combines endogenous and exogenous factors, often becoming chronic due to workplace exposures.
  • The disease significantly affects patients' quality of life, social well-being, and professional future.
  • Management requires etiological assessment, effective symptomatic treatment, and workplace adaptations.

Impact:

  • OHE imposes a considerable burden on individuals, affecting their daily lives and careers.
  • Addressing OHE is crucial for improving patient outcomes and mitigating socioeconomic consequences.
  • Integrated management strategies are essential for controlling this relapsing occupational skin disease.
