About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Infection Prevention & Control”.

This medical PowerPoint presentation is about infection prevention and control (IPC), a set of measures designed to prevent the spread of infectious diseases in healthcare settings and other public places. The goal of IPC is to protect healthcare workers, patients, and the general public from acquiring and transmitting infections.

The basic principles of IPC include Hand hygiene, Personal protective equipment (PPE), Environmental cleaning and disinfection, Sterilization and disinfection of medical equipment, Isolation precautions, and Vaccination.

In addition to these basic principles, IPC also involves the development and implementation of policies and procedures for preventing the spread of infections, ongoing education and training for healthcare workers and the public, and the monitoring and reporting of infectious diseases.

Standard and Transmission based precautions protect who and what? Clinical Excellence Commission 5 Patient/client Health workers Healthcare Environment In healthcare organisations, we know that an introduction of a pathogenic microorganism will come from people or the healthcare environment (including equipment). The triangle on this slide, demonstrates the linking of the healthcare environment, health worker and patient/client. The connection or relationship with pathogenic microorganisms and healthcare, is we (patient/clients, health workers and visitors) may potentially become exposed to them through direct or indirect contact within the healthcare environment. Protection from exposure is assisted by understanding and practicing standard and transmission-based precautions. Australian guidelines Infection Prevention and Control
Slide 6-

Transmission of Microorganisms Transmission describes how a pathogenic microorganism moves from an individual &/or contaminated surface to another person or surface. Transmission can occur vertically, from mother to child, or horizontally, between individuals who are not necessarily related. In horizontal transmission, pathogenic microorganisms will use either a Direct mode of transmission e.g. a touching or coughing on someone Indirect mode of transmission e.g. touching shared spaces (door handles, curtains & benches) then going to touch a patient/client without cleaning your hands. Transmission may involve direct or indirect through contact, droplet or airborne routes. Other routes such as vector-borne (e.g. mosquitos) are not addressed in this presentation. Standard precautions is an everyday practice to interrupt the transmission route of pathogenic microorganisms. Where the route of transmission of a suspected or confirmed infection or communicable disease is known, transmission-based precautions are used in addition to standard precautions. Clinical Excellence Commission 6 Infection Prevention and Control Practice Handbook
Slide 7-

Infection prevention actions that apply to all patient/client care and or interactions, regardless of suspected or confirmed infection status of the patient/client Are evidence-based practices designed to protect and prevent spread of infection If followed correctly, minimise the risk of contact with blood and other body substances. Standard Precautions are: Performing hand hygiene Appropriate and correct use of personal protective equipment (PPE) Use of aseptic technique Safe use and disposal of sharps Performing routine environmental cleaning Cleaning and reprocessing of shared patient equipment Respiratory hygiene and cough etiquette Safe handling and disposal of waste and used linen Clinical Excellence Commission 7 Infection Prevention and Control Practice Handbook Standard Precautions (all day, everyday, every patient)
Slide 8-

Transmission-based precautions Used when standard precautions alone, are not enough to interrupt the transmission of a pathogenic microorganism Used in addition to standard precautions Know the route of transmission for the infection of communicable disease There are three types of transmission-based precautions, depending on how transmission occurs Contact precautions – use when caring for any patient/resident known or suspected of being infected with a microorganism spread by skin to skin direct or indirect contact e.g. Staph aureus, VRE. The unwashed hands of Health workers, commonly transfer pathogenic microorganisms in the health environment. Droplet precautions – use when caring for any patient/resident known or suspected of being infected with a microorganism that can be spread by the respiratory droplet route e.g. coughing, sneezing, spitting, touching mouth/nose and talking. Because they are large and heavy, droplets will travel up to 1 metre in distance. Airborne precautions – used when caring for patients/residents known or suspected of being infected with a pathogenic microorganism transmitted by the airborne route. Pathogenic microorganisms are small and float in the air travelling a greater distance than droplets. Clinical Excellence Commission 8 Infection Prevention and Control Practice Handbook

Infection Prevention -Hierarchy of Controls Clinical Excellence Commission 9 Example: air handling systems – negative pressure room Example: Isolation of a patient with a communicable disease Example: Vaccination Example: substitution of detergent to disinfectant to kill environmental contamination
Slide 10-

PPE is A variety of barriers used alone or in combination to protect mucous membranes, eyes, skin, and clothing from contact with infectious agents and blood/body substances Includes equipment such as gloves, Apron or gowns, eye protection (safety glasses, goggles, face shield) and masks PPE needs to be: suitable for the nature of the work a proper size and fit for the person properly stored and maintained If reusable – cleaned and/or disinfected after use and according to the manufacturer’s instructions Used according to the manufacturer’s instructions PPE must meet Australian Standards and where applicable Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) requirements Clinical Excellence Commission 10 Personal protective equipment (PPE) SafeWork NSW
Slide 11-

PPE for infection prevention PPE is worn for standard and/or transmission based precautions: When there is risk of exposure to blood and body substances When caring for patients, or in a healthcare environment where there is a risk of transmission of pathogenic microorganism or communicable disease Hand hygiene is an integral part of standard precautions. It is not PPE but must be performed in the steps for donning, doffing and changing PPE. It prevents contamination of the PPE and contamination of person when removing PPE Clinical Excellence Commission 11
Slide 12-

PPE for Contact Precautions Clinical Excellence Commission 12 Close contact Apron + GlovesThe minimum requirement when providing care (close contact) Gown + Gloves A gown may be required if expected to provide close and prolonged care or

Clinical Excellence Commission 13 Eye protection Surgical Mask If prescription glasses are worn, eye protection must fit over glasses Note: prescription glasses are not designed to protect the wearer from exposure to splash and fluid from blood and body substances. PPE for Droplet Precautions based on Risk Assessment choose either
Slide 14-

PPE for Airborne Precautions Clinical Excellence Commission 14 Note the different mask for droplet and airborne precautions: remember, how transmission or movement of microorganisms occurs? What differences can you spot between the two masks (surgical and P2/N95 masks)? P2/N95 masks come in different shapes and colours. Local supply and availability may vary.
Slide 15-

Clinical Excellence Commission 15 Deciding on when and what PPE to apply Consider the transmission route of any suspected/confirmed microorganism or communicable disease (contact, droplet & or airborne) Think about the task and or procedure to be completed; Is there anticipated exposure to blood and or body substances? How likely is it there will be exposure to blood and or body substances? What is the estimated duration of the exposure risk? Using the responses, consider PPE usage in line with Infection Prevention practices for standard or transmission based precautions. Always observe transmission based precautions signage for PPE guidance if there is uncertainty.

Slide 16-

Note: Combining transmission based precautions, like contact and droplet precautions is needed for some infectious diseases such as COVID-19. Where respiratory aerosol generating procedures (AGP) are performed on COVID-19 case, combined contact, droplet and airborne precautions are needed; refer to the CEC YouTube channel.

P2/N95 masks for airborne precautions Put on a P2 or N95 mask to cover your nose and mouth. Clinical Excellence Commission 24 Note: Do not be confused with fit testing and fit checking. Fit checking is a safety measure performed at the time of donning the P2/N95 mask prior to the airborne exposure risk. You should perform a fit check immediately after donning the mask. Breathe in and out to check that air is not escaping and the mask fits you well.

Doffing (Removing) PPE Clinical Excellence Commission 36 Note: Combining transmission based precautions, like contact and droplet precautions is needed for some infectious diseases such as COVID-19. Where respiratory aerosol generating procedures (AGP) are performed, combined contact, droplet and airborne precautions are needed; refer to the CEC YouTube channel. for combined contact and droplet precautions in addition to standard precautions
Slide 37-

Remove and discard PPE: Away from the immediate patient environment Into general waste unless heavily contaminated by blood and or body substances If the patient/client is in a single room: remove gloves and gown – before leaving the patient’s room – hand hygiene eye protection and mask – is removed immediately outside patient’s room/zone, for airborne precautions, remove mask after the door to patient’s room has been closed (on exit) Hand hygiene facilities (soap and water, or alcohol based hand rub) should be readily available for use at the location of doffing PPE. Clinical Excellence Commission 37 Note: some environments may have designated areas for donning and doffing of PPE. Regardless, it is important that you move away from the immediate patient environment before removing PPE. Doffing (Removing) PPE
