PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning01:22

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning

1.5K
Donning PPE must be completed before contact with the patient. This process protects from infectious agents. The sequence and action included in each donning are critical, and the steps must be systematic to avoid exposure to pathogens. The institutional policy also needs to be followed while donning PPE. The pre-donning preparations are gathering equipment, inspecting the PPE equipment for tears, holes, or damage, removing jewelry, removing any garments below the elbows, and tying the hair...

Personal Protective Equipment01:20

Personal Protective Equipment

2.1K
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:

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings II: Doffing

1.4K
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.

Non-ohmic Devices00:51

Non-ohmic Devices

1.4K
In most substances, the current flow is proportional to the voltage applied to it. A simple relationship between the values of current, voltage, and resistance is known as Ohm's law. Nonohmic devices do not exhibit a linear relationship between voltage and current. One such device is the semiconducting circuit element known as a diode. A diode is a circuit device that allows current flow in only one direction.
Consider a simple circuit consisting of a battery, a diode, and a resistor. A...

Thermal Stress01:09

Thermal Stress

3.2K
If the temperature of an object is changed while it is prevented from expanding or contracting, the object is subjected to stress. The stress is compressive if the object expands in the absence of constraint and tensile if it contracts. This stress resulting from temperature change is known as thermal stress. It can be quite large and can cause damage. To avoid this stress, engineers may design components so they can expand and contract freely. For instance, on highways, gaps are deliberately...

Decreased Body Temperature01:29

Decreased Body Temperature

909
A decreased body temperature can occur in patients with hypothermia and frostbite. Heat loss with extended cold exposure overpowers the body's ability to create heat, resulting in hypothermia. Core temperature readings help classify hypothermia. Mild hypothermia is temperatures between 32 °C (89.6 °F) and 35°C (95 °F) and is caused by impaired thermoregulation. Moderate hypothermia is temperatures between 28 C (82.4 °F) and 32 °C (89.6 °F) caused by...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Medical Device Technology

Background:

  • Wearable devices are increasingly used for health management, leading to a rise in adverse skin reactions.
  • Allergic contact dermatitis from wearables presents management challenges, necessitating new treatment strategies compatible with device use.

Observation:

  • A 40-year-old woman experienced contact dermatitis from a continuous glucose monitoring device.
  • Standard topical treatments can be difficult to apply with adhesive wearables.

Findings:

  • Topical clobetasol propionate 0.05% spray was an effective treatment for the patient's dermatitis.
  • The spray formulation allowed for continued use of the adhesive wearable device.

Implications:

  • Spray formulations of topical steroids offer a viable and compatible treatment option for dermatitis under wearable devices.
  • This approach may improve patient adherence and outcomes for conditions requiring continuous monitoring or appliance use, such as diabetes or ostomy care.
