Hand hygiene

5.2K
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.

Drug Toxicity: Allergic Reactions

206
Drug-related allergies are immune-mediated responses triggered by the administration of pharmacological agents. These hypersensitivity reactions are classified based on the immune mechanisms involved. The four primary types—Type I, II, III, and IV—are mediated by different immunological pathways and exhibit distinct clinical manifestations.Type I Hypersensitivity/ IgE-Mediated Reactions: Immunoglobulin E (IgE) immediately mediates Type I hypersensitivity reactions. Upon initial...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

3.3K
The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Allergology

Context:

  • Chronic hand dermatitis is a common condition often caused by multiple factors.
  • Allergic reactions frequently contribute to or worsen existing atopic or irritant dermatitis of the hands.

Purpose:

  • To outline the diagnostic and management strategies for chronic hand dermatitis.
  • To emphasize the importance of identifying and eliminating allergens in treatment-resistant cases.

Summary:

  • Management involves thorough patient history and skin examination.
  • Systematic allergologic testing (patch tests, prick tests) is indicated for suspected contact or protein contact dermatitis, occupational origins, or treatment failure.
  • Inclusion of personal items in testing may be necessary.
  • Complete allergen avoidance is key to a definitive cure.

Impact:

  • Highlights the critical role of diagnostic testing in managing complex hand dermatitis.
  • Underscores allergen avoidance as the cornerstone of effective treatment for chronic hand dermatitis, improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
