Standard Precaution01:26

Standard Precaution

2.4K
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...

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

3.2K
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...

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection01:26

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

12.8K
The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

1.6K
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...

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...

Sputum Studies II: Culture and Sensitivity01:20

Sputum Studies II: Culture and Sensitivity

734
Description
Sputum culture and sensitivity is a medical procedure used to diagnose bacterial infections in the respiratory tract and select the most appropriate antibiotics for treatment. This process involves analyzing sputum samples of thick and opaque secretions produced in the lungs and airways. These samples are collected from patients and then sent to the laboratory for analysis.
The test can identify various pathogens responsible for respiratory infections, including Streptococcus,...

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health

Background:

  • The rapid spread of SARS-CoV-2 necessitated enhanced infection control in dentistry.
  • Dental professionals require updated education to mitigate occupational risks associated with COVID-19.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze early perceptions of SARS-CoV-2 exposure risk among Mexican dentists.
  • To assess the perceived need for comprehensive infection control education in dental practice.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional online survey was conducted in Spanish from May to June 2020.
  • 996 dentists participated, responding to a 5-point Likert-type scale questionnaire.
  • Data collected included demographics, clinical specialization, and perceptions of risk and training needs.

Main Results:

  • 73% of dentists agreed patient care posed a risk; this was higher in Mexico (76%) than other Latin American countries (53%).
  • Perceived need for enhanced infection control increased with age.
  • Only 49% reported sterilizing handpieces between patients, and one-third felt all staff received adequate infection control training.

Conclusions:

  • Dentist perceptions of SARS-CoV-2 risk and infection control needs were influenced by age and country of practice.
  • The study identified significant opportunities to enhance infection control education and training for dental professionals.
