Hand hygiene

6.4K
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.

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings II: Doffing01:10

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings II: Doffing

1.7K
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.

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...

Ostomy Care01:24

Ostomy Care

2.6K
Introduction
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:

Personal Protective Equipment01:20

Personal Protective Equipment

2.5K
Personal protective equipment (PPE) is unique clothing or equipment worn by an employee to minimize or prevent exposure to infectious agents. PPE creates a barrier between the employee and the infectious materials. PPE must be readily available in the patient care area. PPE includes gloves, gowns and aprons, masks and respirators, goggles, face shields, shoes, and headcovers:

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Medical Device Technology
  • Patient Care

Background:

  • Adhesive tapes are widely used in healthcare for wound dressings and device fixation.
  • Adhesive-related skin injury (ARSI) is a common complication, causing patient discomfort and potential secondary infections.
  • Existing preventative measures for ARSI have limitations in efficacy and patient tolerance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of a novel protective skin wipe in preventing skin reactions to medical adhesive tapes.
  • To assess the safety and usability of the protective skin wipe in a patient population.
  • To compare the incidence of ARSI in patients using the wipe versus a control group.

Main Methods:

  • A clinical trial was conducted involving patients requiring adhesive tape fixation.
  • Participants were randomized to receive either the protective skin wipe or a placebo wipe before tape application.
  • Skin reactions were assessed using standardized scoring systems at regular intervals.

Main Results:

  • The group using the protective skin wipe showed a statistically significant reduction in the incidence and severity of adhesive-related skin reactions.
  • No adverse events were reported in relation to the use of the protective skin wipe.
  • Patient-reported outcomes indicated improved comfort and satisfaction with the wipe application.

Conclusions:

  • The protective skin wipe is an effective and safe intervention for preventing adhesive-related skin injury.
  • This product offers a valuable tool for healthcare providers to enhance patient comfort and skin integrity.
  • Further research could explore long-term efficacy and use in diverse patient populations.
