Abstract:
Since 1995, ASET has published recommendations for infection prevention. With the aim of keeping our readers current with updates in infection prevention initiatives, this article reviews ASET's past publications by Altman 1995, Altman 2000, Scott 2013, and Sullivan & Altman 2008, and incorporates new information from published scientific literature, online resources, print publications, national and international guidelines, OSHA and other regulatory agencies. Knowledge of current infection control practices and recommendations is essential for every Neurodiagnostic technologist, whether working in a hospital, an ambulatory setting, intensive care unit or in the operating room. All technologists who have direct patient contact are responsible for ensuring use of best practices to prevent the spread of infection.
