Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures01:22

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

2.6K
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...

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

1.2K
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

1.9K
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...

Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

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

3.5K
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...

Asepsis01:28

Asepsis

2.1K
The condition of being free from disease-causing living pathogens is asepsis. Aseptic techniques include a set of standard practices to achieve asepsis. An example is the regular environmental cleaning of all parts of the healthcare facility and hand hygiene at home before preparing or eating food. Medical and surgical asepsis in healthcare practice protects patients from harmful pathogens, minimizes the risk of contamination of susceptible sites, and reduces the risk of infection transmission.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Infectious disease
  • Biomaterials science

Background:

  • Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) is increasingly used for shoulder degenerative conditions.
  • Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a significant complication following rTSA.
  • Effective diagnosis and treatment strategies for rTSA PJI are crucial due to rising procedure rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current research on prosthetic joint infection (PJI) in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA).
  • To outline prevention methods for PJI in rTSA.
  • To present treatment algorithms for rTSA PJI, including preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative considerations.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of current research on rTSA PJI.
  • Analysis of identified risk factors for infection.
  • Synthesis of successful prevention techniques and management strategies.

Main Results:

  • No standardized protocol currently exists for rTSA PJI prevention or management.
  • Risk factors for infection have been identified in recent studies.
  • Effective prevention techniques can minimize infection risk, and potential management strategies are outlined.

Conclusions:

  • Standardized protocols for rTSA PJI diagnosis and treatment are lacking.
  • Clinicians can utilize outlined preventative measures and management strategies for rTSA PJI.
  • Further research may lead to standardized protocols for this challenging condition.
