Hand HygieneHand hygiene has been frequently cited as the single most important practice to help reduce the transmission of infectious agents in the healthcare setting. It is an essential element of Standard Precautions that includes both handwashing with plain or antiseptic-containing soap and water, and use of alcohol-based products (gels, rinses and foams) that do not require use of water.
Universal/Standard PrecautionsUniversal/Standard Precautions are a set of infection control practices that healthcare personnel use to reduce transmission of microorganisms in healthcare settings.

GlovesGloves reduce hand contamination 70-80 percent, preventing cross-contamination and protecting patients and healthcare personnel from infection. Gloves should be changed before and after each patient. It’s important to note that the use of gloves does not eliminate the need for hand hygiene. Both techniques should be used together to be most effective.

Masks, Goggles and ShieldsMasks are used for three primary purposes in healthcare settings: 1) Placed on healthcare personnel to protect them from contact with infectious material from patients (e.g.
respiratory secretions and sprays of blood or body fluids, consistent with Standard Precautions and Droplet Precautions);
2) Placed on healthcare personnel when engaged with infectious agents carried in a healthcare workers mouth or nose
3) Placed on coughing patients to limit potential dissemination of infectious respiratory secretions from the patient to others (i.e. Respiratory Hygiene/Cough Etiquette).
Masks may be used in combination with goggles to provide more complete protection for the face.

RespiratorsThe CDC currently recommends N95 or higher level respirators for personnel exposed to patients with suspected or confirmed tuberculosis as well as other diseases that could be transmitted through the airborne route, including SARS and smallpox. Respirators are also currently recommended to be worn during the performance of aerosol-generating procedures (e.g. intubation, bronchoscopy and suctioning).

Environmental DisinfectionCleaning and disinfecting non-critical surfaces in patient care areas is part of the Standard Precautions. Establish policies and procedures for containing, transporting and handling patient-care equipment and instrument devices that may be contaminated with blood or body fluids. Medical equipment, instruments and devices must be cleaned and maintained according to manufacturer’s instructions to prevent patient-to-patient transmission of infectious agents.

1. Primary breaches in infection control practice: • Reinsertion of used needles
into multi-dose vial or solution container (e.g., saline bag)
• Use of a single needle/syringe to administer intravenous medication to multiple patients
2. Needle cannulas and syringes are sterile single-use items; they should not be reused for another patient or to access a medication or solution that may be used for a subsequent patient.
3. Consider a syringe or needle/cannula contaminated once it has been used to enter or connect to a patient intravenous infusion bag or admin set.
Safe Injection PracticesUnsafe injection practices place patients and healthcare providers at risk to transmit bloodborne pathogens, including hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Decontamination and SterilizationProcedures involving contact by a medical device or surgical instrument with a patient’s sterile tissue or mucous membranes pose a risk for the introduction of pathogens that can lead to infection. Decontamination and sterilization procedures are an essential safeguard to protect equipment and medical and surgical instruments against the transmission of infections to patients.

Surgical Site Infection PreventionMany factors contribute and increase patient risk in acquiring a post-surgical infection. Emerging challenges which contribute to surgical site infections include lack of standard protocols for post-discharge surveillance, resistant organisms which decrease the effectiveness of antimicrobial prophylaxis, improper skin/surgical site preparation, improper intraoperative temperature regulation, lack of blood glucose monitoring and pre-existing microorganism colonization.

Pre-OperativeStudies have suggested that screening patients for S aureus by nasal swab cultures preoperatively, and decolonizing with mupirocin ointment to the nares 2x daily and chlorhexidine baths once daily for 5 days before surgery, reduces the risk of S aureus SSIs in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery.

Patient Skin PrepPreparing patients’ skin for surgical procedures is a recommended practice in preventing infections. If surgical-site hair removal is necessary, clippers are the best option. The use of razors is not recommended for this procedure. It is also important to use an appropriate antiseptic agent and technique for skin preparation.
Antibiotic ProphylaxisProphylactic antibiotics are antibiotics consistent with national guidelines and should be administered within one hour of incision time and discontinued within 24 hours in most cases.

Hand hygiene has been cited frequently as the single most important practice to reduce the transmission of infectious agents in the healthcare setting and is an essential element of Standard Precautions that includes both hand washing with plain or antiseptic-containing soap and water, and/or the use of alcohol-based products (gels, rinses, foams) that do not require use of water.
