Infection Control- chapter 28
Personal protective equipment and indication for use
Gowns: prevent soiling clothing during contact with patient
Masks: should be worn when you anticipate splash or spray of blood or body fluid and satisfy droplet/airborne precautions.
Protective eyewear: should be worn for procedures that generate splashes or splatters
Gloves: prevent the transmission of pathogens by direct/indirect contact.
This equipment protects you from waste materials such as wounds, blood, stool, and urine.
Indwelling urinary catheters - causes of risk for infections
An indwelling urinary catheter obstructs the normal flushing action of urine flow. The presence of a catheter in the urethra breaches the natural defenses of the body. Reflux of microorganisms up the catheter lumen from the drainage bag or backflow of urine in the tubing increases the risk of infection.
Surgical asepsis uses verse medical asepsis
Surgical asepsis is used during procedures that require intentional perforation of patient’s skin, when skin’s integrity is broken, or during procedures that involve insertion of catheters. * Sterile objects remains sterile only when touched by another sterile object * Place only sterile objects on sterile field * Sterile object/field out of the range of vision or held below waist is contaminated * Sterile object/field becomes contaminated by prolonged exposure to air. * When sterile surface comes in contact with a wet, contaminated surface, the sterile object/field becomes contaminated by capillary action * Sterile object becomes contaminated if gravity causes contaminated fluid to flow over the objects surface * The edges of sterile field/container are considered to be contaminated.
Medical asepsis, or clean technique, includes procedures for reducing the number of organisms present and preventing the transfer of organisms. Hand hygiene, barrier
