Standard Precaution01:26

Standard Precaution

2.5K
Standard precautions are the minimum infection control safeguards used while caring for all patients, irrespective of their disease condition. They help prevent the spread of common infectious microorganisms to healthcare workers, patients, and visitors in all healthcare settings.
Hand hygiene is the most crucial means to prevent the transmission of disease. Employers are legally required to provide their workers with personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize exposure or contact with...

Transmission-based Precautions I: Contact, Enteric, and Droplets

4.3K
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...

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

1.7K
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...

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

3.4K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Infection01:20

Infection

10.4K
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...

Tooth Anatomy01:21

Tooth Anatomy

1.7K
The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Oral Health Policy
  • Health Systems Research

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic exposed a lack of consensus regarding essential oral health care.
  • This ambiguity impacts health system planning and resource allocation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a definition of essential oral health care.
  • To conceptualize a layered model for its delivery.
  • To advocate for oral health care's integration into essential health services.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis and definition proposal.
  • Development of a layered model integrating urgent, basic, and advanced care.
  • Discussion of key reflections on essentiality and consensus-building.

Main Results:

  • A proposed definition of essential oral health care encompassing urgent and basic interventions.
  • A layered model categorizing oral health care interventions.
  • Identification of the need for consensus on defining essential oral health care.

Conclusions:

  • Oral health care is fundamental to overall health and must be an integral part of essential health services.
  • Not all dental procedures constitute essential oral health care.
  • Consensus-building among stakeholders is crucial for defining and implementing essential oral health care within universal health coverage frameworks.
