概括
消防员的手套中有一些多环芳 (PAH) 污染, 防火手套提供了保护,但建议对手套进行进一步的研究.
科学领域:
- 职业健康问题
- 环境科学
- 毒理学
背景情况:
- 消防员在职业生涯中接触过多环芳等致癌物质.
- 现有关于消防人员个人防护设备 (PPE) 的研究需要在消防活动中扩大PAH突破.
研究的目的:
- 在灭火过程中评估FF与PAH的潜在污染.
- 评估防火手套在防止PAH暴露在FF手上的有效性.
主要方法:
- 一项试点研究涉及23名FF在穿上棉花内套时,模拟灭火,和doffing.
- 从手掌,食指和指区域的手套下进行了PAH污染分析.
- 数据分析包括不同活动和手套区域的PAH水平的统计比较.
主要成果:
- 消防手套通常会在灭火过程中尽量减少手上的PAH暴露,但也有一些污染.
- 在使用个人防护设备时PAH污染率最高.
- 与手掌相比,指和食指的污染明显高 (p < 0. 05).
结论:
- 虽然防火手套提供了障碍,但FF手可能会受到PAH污染,特别是在做工时.
- 尽管清洗了设备和洗了装备,但在穿着时也注意到了PAH的存在.
- 需要对手套作为防护装备进行进一步的调查,以及对被清理/洗装备的风险进行进一步的调查.

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings II: Doffing
1.1K
The sequence of removing or doffing PPE starts with the gloves, as they are the most contaminated. Next is removal of the face shield or goggles, as they would interfere with removing other PPE. Then remove the gown, followed by the mask or respirator. Perform hand hygiene between steps if hands become contaminated and immediately after removing all PPE. Generally, the outside front and sleeves of the isolation gown, the goggles or the mask, the respirator, and the face shield are contaminated.

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning
1.3K
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...

Handwashing II: Pre-procedure and Initial Procedure Steps

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...

Hand hygiene
4.1K
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.
