Infection control the set of methods used to control and prevent the spread of disease, preventing all types of microorganisms from infecting health workers and patients
Cross infection refers to the transmission of a pathogenic organism from one person to another
Infections - are caused by pathogens (germs)
Communicable disease – disease spread from one person to another
Infectious disease – caused by a pathogen (germ or bacteria)
Contaminated – means dirty, soiled, unclean
Disinfection – cleaning so that germs (pathogens) are destroyed
Mode of transmission – the way germs are passed from one person to another
Mucous membranes – membranes that line body cavities that open to the outside of the body
Nosocomial infection Any infection that is not present or incubating at the time the patient is admitted to the hospital
Sterilization A process intended to kill all microorganisms and is the highest level of microbial forms including endospores (germs) Disinfection a process less effective than sterilization because it does not kill bacterial endospores
MODES OF TRANSMISSION of infections
There are five main modes of transmission
Droplet Vector borne Air borne Contact Common vehicle
HOSPITAL INFECTIONS N.I
Nosocomial infections Nosocomial infection comes from Greek words “nosus” meaning
disease and “ komeion” meaning to take care of
Iinfections appearing in connection with in both:
in and out patients‘ stay in hospital.
They are also known as a hospital-acquired
infection.
They may occur either during or after
hospitalization
(48 hours or more after hospital admission or within 30
days after discharge).
“Any Infections are considered nosocomial if they first appear 48hrs or more after hospital admission or within 30 days after discharge”
Rresult of treatment in a hospital or hospital-like setting, but secondary
to the patient´s original condition.
One third of n.i. are considered preventable.
1-Crowded hospital conditions
2-New microorganism
3-Increasing number of people with compromised immune system
4-Increasing Bacterial resistance
Rise in nosocomial infection as a result of
four factor
Types of important Nosocomial infection
