Preventive Healthcare Services

2.3K
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:

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures01:22

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

4.9K
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...

Standard Precaution01:26

Standard Precaution

3.5K
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 II: Airborne and Protective Environment

2.2K
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...

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning

1.9K
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...

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Excretion01:26

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Excretion

375
In pediatric medicine, understanding the renal function and drug elimination nuances is crucial for administering safe and effective treatments. Newborns, in particular, display markedly slower renal functions than adults, profoundly affecting how drugs are cleared from their bodies. This slower drug clearance requires clinicians to extend the dosing intervals for many medications to prevent drug accumulation and toxicity while ensuring therapeutic efficacy.One key area where these adjustments...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Health
  • Pediatric Medicine
  • Climate Change Impacts

Background:

  • Climate change significantly affects pediatric health outcomes, exacerbating conditions such as asthma, respiratory infections, and cardiovascular disease.
  • The environment is increasingly recognized as a critical social determinant of health.
  • Exposures to environmental health risks disproportionately affect historically marginalized populations, revealing significant inequities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify opportunities for implementing screening tools to detect environmental health risk factors in pediatric care.
  • To emphasize the role of pediatricians in addressing climate change-related health issues in children.

Main Methods:

  • This is a review article, synthesizing existing knowledge and identifying practical applications.
  • Focuses on the applicability of screening tools in diverse pediatric settings (ambulatory and inpatient).

Main Results:

  • Available screening tools can be effectively implemented in various pediatric care settings.
  • Climate change exacerbates common pediatric illnesses and highlights existing health disparities.
  • Environmental factors are significant contributors to pediatric health outcomes.
