Hand hygiene01:23

Hand hygiene

5.3K
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. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

Handwashing II: Pre-procedure and Initial Procedure Steps

1.5K
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. Cuts and abrasions can become contaminated with bacteria hindering the ability to clean the area thoroughly. In addition, repeated hand washing can worsen an injury.  The nails must be short and clean, without nail...

Burn Injuries01:22

Burn Injuries

4.4K
Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

Handwashing I: Introduction and Types of Equipment

5.3K
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....

Standard precautions are the minimum infection control safeguards used while caring for all patients, irrespective of their disease condition. They help prevent the spread of common infectious microorganisms to healthcare workers, patients, and visitors in all healthcare settings.
Hand hygiene is the most crucial means to prevent the transmission of disease. Employers are legally required to provide their workers with personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize exposure or contact with...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Orthopedics
  • Hand Surgery
  • Radiographic Diagnosis

Background:

  • Hand injuries are frequent in children and adolescents.
  • Mechanisms vary, including crush injuries in younger children and sports-related fractures in teenagers.
  • Improperly managed hand fractures can lead to significant functional deficits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To emphasize the importance of accurate diagnosis of pediatric hand fractures.
  • To highlight the challenges in diagnosing small metacarpal and phalangeal fractures radiographically.
  • To stress the necessity of recognizing common fracture patterns for prompt treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Review of common pediatric hand injury mechanisms.
  • Discussion of diagnostic challenges in radiography for small bone fractures.
  • Emphasis on pattern recognition for metacarpal and phalangeal fractures.

Main Results:

  • Crush injuries are prevalent in younger children; sports injuries in adolescents.
  • Radiographic diagnosis of small metacarpal and phalangeal fractures can be difficult.
  • Timely diagnosis is essential to prevent functional consequences.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate and timely diagnosis of pediatric hand fractures is critical.
  • Familiarity with common fracture locations and patterns aids prompt treatment.
  • Effective management restores normal function and prevents long-term issues.
