Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

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...

Administering Oxygen by Mask

Administering Oxygen by Mask

Administering Oxygen by Mask
Administering oxygen by mask is a common nursing intervention that provides supplemental oxygen to patients with respiratory distress or chronic lung conditions. This procedure involves delivering oxygen at a specified rate through a face mask connected to an oxygen source.
Equipment
The equipment necessary for this procedure includes:

Administering Oxygen by Nasal Cannula

Administering Oxygen by Nasal Cannula

Oxygen therapy is critical to patient care, especially for those struggling with respiratory issues. This intervention increases the oxygen concentration in the lungs, enhancing the amount of oxygen transported to the body's tissues. One standard method of delivering supplemental oxygen is through a nasal cannula, a non-invasive device that provides low to medium oxygen concentrations.
Nasal Cannulas
A nasal cannula is a lightweight tube split into two prongs placed in the nostrils,...

Inhaled Medications

Inhaled Medications

Inhaled medications are crucial for managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. They are essential for effective treatment and control, ensuring optimal respiratory health and well-being. Inhaled medication delivers drugs directly to the lungs, providing a rapid onset of action and reducing systemic side effects compared to oral or injectable medications. Three primary types of inhalation devices are used to administer these medications: nebulizers, metered-dose inhalers...

Tracheostomy Suctioning II: Procedure

Tracheostomy Suctioning II: Procedure

Tracheostomy suctioning is a vital nursing procedure that involves removing secretions from the tracheostomy tube to maintain airway patency and prevent respiratory complications. Nurses need to understand the proper technique for tracheostomy suctioning to ensure patient safety and comfort. In this guide, we will outline the step-by-step process for performing tracheostomy suctioning, including preparing the sterile field, donning personal protective equipment (PPE), lubricating and connecting...

Tracheostomy Care II: Procedure

Tracheostomy Care II: Procedure

Tracheostomy care is an essential nursing skill that involves cleaning and maintaining a tracheostomy tube to prevent infection and other complications. Here's a step-by-step guide explaining each procedure with its rationale. Note that disposable gloves are to be worn at all times and changed as often as needed to maintain a sterile work environment, and to protect both patient and healthcare worker.
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene, and put on personal protective equipment: gown, gloves, mask...

Area of Science:

Infection Control
Public Health
Nursing Practice

Background:

COVID-19 significantly altered UK healthcare since January 2020.
Focus has been on hospital transmission reduction, with less known about community nursing risks.
Health professionals face increased risk from aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs).

Purpose of the Study:

To inform community nurses about COVID-19 transmission risks in home settings.
To define aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs) relevant to community nursing.
To provide strategies for mitigating infection risk during home visits.

Main Methods:

Review of COVID-19 transmission dynamics.
Identification and definition of aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs).
Analysis of personal protective equipment (PPE) and risk reduction strategies.

Main Results:

COVID-19 spread and associated risks for healthcare professionals are detailed.
Specific clinical practices identified as AGPs in community settings are outlined.
The benefits of mask usage and suitability of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are discussed.

Conclusions:

Community nurses require specific guidance on managing COVID-19 risks in homes.
Proper use of full personal protective equipment (PPE) is crucial when performing AGPs.
Implementing defined strategies can effectively reduce COVID-19 transmission risk during home-based patient care.
