Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment01:25

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...

Standard Precaution

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 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...

Preventive Healthcare Services

1.5K
Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

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...

Prevention of Further Absorption of Poison01:14

Prevention of Further Absorption of Poison

1.0K
In cases of acute poisoning, the primary objective is to prevent further absorption of the toxic substance into the body. Immediate interventions using various decontamination techniques targeting the gastrointestinal (GI) tract can achieve this. Decontamination is crucial to prevent poison from entering the systemic circulation, which involves washing affected areas with water and mild soap and removing contaminated clothing. Once external decontamination is done, attention must be turned to...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Infectious Disease Prevention
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • High HIV incidence and prevalence necessitate effective prevention strategies.
  • Emergency departments (EDs) are critical touchpoints for at-risk populations.
  • Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a proven biomedical intervention for HIV prevention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose recommendations for optimizing EDs as access points for PrEP.
  • To enhance the role of EDs in connecting eligible patients with PrEP services.
  • To address challenges in PrEP access and uptake among vulnerable groups.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on current PrEP access and ED roles.
  • Analysis of barriers to PrEP uptake in at-risk populations.
  • Development of actionable recommendations for ED-based PrEP referral.

Main Results:

  • EDs offer a unique setting for identifying and referring PrEP-eligible individuals.
  • Current ED functionality may not fully leverage this potential.
  • Specific strategies are needed to improve PrEP referral pathways within EDs.

Conclusions:

  • Optimizing EDs as PrEP access points can significantly increase HIV prevention.
  • Enhanced ED functionality can improve PrEP availability and uptake.
  • Targeted recommendations are crucial for integrating PrEP services into emergency care settings.
