Hand hygiene

4.2K
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.

Drugs Affecting GI Tract Motility: Antimicrobials as Antidiarrheal Agents

205
Acute diarrhea, a common gastrointestinal disturbance, is characterized by the rapid evacuation of fluid stools, leading to an excessive weight in fluid. This condition typically arises from disorders affecting intestinal water and electrolyte transport. It can be triggered by an increased osmotic load within the intestine, excessive secretion of electrolytes and water, mucosal exudation of protein and fluid, or altered intestinal motility. The primary risks of acute diarrhea are dehydration...

The pre-procedure steps of handwashing include removing jewelry and rolling up sleeves. However, many organizations allow staff to wear wedding rings.
The hand washing procedure itself includes the following steps. First, cover cuts, if any, on hands with a waterproof dressing. Cuts and abrasions can become contaminated with bacteria hindering the ability to clean the area thoroughly. In addition, repeated hand washing can worsen an injury.  The nails must be short and clean, without nail...

A healthcare provider can diagnose a urinary tract infection (UTI) through several methods:Medical History and Symptoms: The provider will take a detailed medical history and ask about symptoms such as frequent urination, burning sensation during urination, and lower abdominal pain.Urinalysis: A clean-catch urine sample is collected in a sterile container and tested for the presence of bacteria, white blood cells (leukocytes), nitrites, blood, and protein. The presence of leukocytes and...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatologic surgery
  • Infectious disease prevention

Context:

  • Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a complication of dermatosurgical procedures.
  • SSIs increase patient morbidity and mortality.

Purpose:

  • To outline current recommendations for perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis in dermatosurgery.
  • To guide clinicians on appropriate indications and administration.

Summary:

  • Antibiotic prophylaxis may be indicated for specific dermatosurgical procedures to minimize SSI risk.
  • Key factors influencing prophylaxis decisions include procedure type, location, contamination level, and patient risk factors.
  • Prophylaxis should be administered 30-60 minutes preoperatively via oral or intravenous routes.

Impact:

  • Optimizing antibiotic use can reduce the incidence of SSIs.
  • Adherence to guidelines ensures appropriate prophylaxis, enhancing patient safety and outcomes.
