Hand hygiene01:23

Hand hygiene

5.7K
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.

A hand-off report, also known as a change-of-shift report, is a crucial nursing process that ensures the smooth transition of patient care responsibilities between nursing staff.
Following are the key components and categories of hand-off reports:

Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers

2.5K
The muscles of the forearm that move the wrist, hand, and digits are numerous and diverse. They can be classified into two groups based on their location and function — the anterior and posterior compartment muscles.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment muscles originate from the humerus. They primarily function as flexors and are also known as flexor muscles. They typically insert on the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The superficial layer includes the flexor carpi...

Bronsted-Lowry Acids and Bases

The acid-base reaction class has been studied for quite some time. In 1680, Robert Boyle reported traits of acid solutions that included their ability to dissolve many substances, to change the colors of certain natural dyes, and to lose these traits after coming in contact with alkali (base) solutions. In the eighteenth century, it was recognized that acids have a sour taste, react with limestone to liberate a gaseous substance (now known to be CO2), and interact with alkalis to form neutral...

Base Excision Repair01:54

Base Excision Repair

26.2K
One of the common DNA damages is the chemical alteration of single bases by alkylation, oxidation, or deamination. The altered bases cause mispairing and strand breakage during replication. This type of damage causes minimal change to the DNA double helix structure and can be repaired by the base excision repair (BER) pathways. BER corrects damaged DNA sequences by removing the damaged base and restoring the original base sequence using the complementary strand as a template.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare quality and patient safety
  • Infection prevention and control
  • Global public health initiatives

Background:

  • The WHO SAVE LIVES: Clean Your Hands campaign promotes hand hygiene for universal health coverage (UHC).
  • Infection prevention and control (IPC), including hand hygiene, is vital for quality care and patient safety.
  • The 2019 theme, "Clean care for all - it's in your hands," emphasizes hand hygiene's role in UHC.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide case scenario-based simulations for IPC specialists.
  • To facilitate the standardized completion of the WHO Hand Hygiene Self-Assessment Framework (HHSAF).
  • To support professionals in implementing hand hygiene improvement strategies and preparing for the 2019 WHO Global Survey.

Main Methods:

  • Development and testing of three case scenarios for HHSAF simulation.
  • Utilizing the WHO Infection Prevention and Control Assessment Framework (IPCAF) and HHSAF tools.
  • Designing scenarios for diverse healthcare facility (HCF) contexts, including low-resource settings.

Main Results:

  • The case scenarios enable interactive learning and standardization of HHSAF completion.
  • Simulations help assess HHSAF in various HCF settings.
  • HHSAF data can inform action plans for hand hygiene improvement.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed simulation method enhances the understanding and application of the HHSAF.
  • Standardized training using these scenarios is crucial for accurate data collection in global surveys.
  • Effective hand hygiene monitoring through HHSAF contributes to better IPC programs and patient safety.
