Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

2.1K
Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

Pneumonia V: Nursing management and Prevention

3.8K
Nursing management of pneumonia involves promoting airway patency, facilitating rest and conserving energy, encouraging fluid intake, maintaining nutrition, and educating patients.
The nurse must practice strict medical asepsis and adhere to infection control guidelines to minimize healthcare-associated infections.
Enhance airway patency
Position the patient correctly to facilitate drainage of the affected lung segments. Manual or mechanical percussion and vibration can also be employed....

Transmission-based precautions are for patients known to be infected or suspected to be infected or colonized with organisms that pose a significant risk to others. Some transmission-based precautions include contact, enteric, and droplet.
Contact Precautions:
Contact precautions are the measures taken to prevent the transmission of infectious agents, especially epidemiologically important microorganisms such as MRSA or influenza, primarily transmitted through direct or indirect contact with an...

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection01:26

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

14.3K
The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

Infection01:20

Infection

13.4K
When a pathogen enters the body and reproduces, it can cause an infection, damage body cells, and cause illness symptoms that eventually lead to disease. Therefore, its prevention requires breaking the chain of infection.
The chain begins with pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, or parasites such as protozoa helminths. These can be present on the skin as transient or resident flora, or they can be acquired from the environment. Identifying and treating the type of infection and...

Area of Science:

  • Travel Medicine
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Influenza viruses cause significant global respiratory illness, impacting travel medicine despite limited guidelines.
  • Risk factors for influenza in travelers include age, immune status, and environments like cruise ships and mass gatherings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and present best practice advice for influenza prevention and management in travel medicine.
  • To address the scarcity of guidelines for influenza in travelers.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted a literature search using PubMed/MEDLINE with terms like 'Influenza virus,' 'travel,' 'mass gathering,' and 'cruise ship.'
  • Gathered and reviewed international guidelines on influenza prevention and management for travelers.

Main Results:

  • Seasonal influenza is a prevalent infectious disease among travelers.
  • Host risk factors include extremes of age and compromised immunity.
  • Environmental risk factors include cruise ship travel and mass gatherings.

Conclusions:

  • Pre-travel advice on influenza prevention is crucial, especially for high-risk travelers.
  • Influenza vaccination is recommended for travelers, particularly cruise ship passengers/crew and mass gathering attendees.
  • Antiviral medication advice may be considered for certain travelers.
