Hand Washing and Isolation Precautions
![Page 2: Hand Washing and Isolation Precautions. Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs) in the USA Today HAIs affect 5-10% of patients in US acute care hospitals](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110116/5516bef6550346f0208b57c0/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs) in the USA Today
• HAIs affect 5-10% of patients in US acute care hospitals.
• HAIs affect nearly 2 million patients per year.
• HAIs cost an estimated $5-10 Billion per year.
• More than 70% of bacteria that cause HAIs are resistant to at least one of the drugs most commonly used to treat the infections.

HAIs – The Human Cost
• 99,000 people will DIE this year from a HAI.
• It’s equivalent to a 747 plane crash killing all passengers and crew every other day.
• It’s one death every 6 minutes.• IT IS PREVENTABLE!

Desired Goals
• Reduce hospital acquired infections• Thereby reducing avoidable morbidity, mortality
and cost.
Key Factors:• Hand hygiene• Environmental decontamination• Identification and isolation of colonized patients• Education

Hand Hygiene
• Hand hygiene is the single most important means of preventing the spread of infection.
• It is to be performed before and after every patient encounter, and after the removal of gloves.

CDC Guideline for Isolation Precautions
• There are 4 isolation categories - The name of each reflects how the infectious organism/disease is transmitted.
• The next few slides will detail the requirements of each category and show examples of the signs posted on patient doors to communicate these requirements to all who enter.
![Page 32: Hand Washing and Isolation Precautions. Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs) in the USA Today HAIs affect 5-10% of patients in US acute care hospitals](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110116/5516bef6550346f0208b57c0/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
4 CDC Categories
• Standard
• Contact
• Airborne
• Droplet
![Page 33: Hand Washing and Isolation Precautions. Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs) in the USA Today HAIs affect 5-10% of patients in US acute care hospitals](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110116/5516bef6550346f0208b57c0/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
STANDARD PRECAUTIONS
• Assume that every person is potentially infected or colonized with an organism that could be transmitted in the healthcare setting.
• Wear PPE according to the level of anticipated contamination, when handling patient-care equipment and instruments/devices that are visibly soiled or may have been in contact with blood or body fluids.
![Page 34: Hand Washing and Isolation Precautions. Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs) in the USA Today HAIs affect 5-10% of patients in US acute care hospitals](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110116/5516bef6550346f0208b57c0/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
CONTACT ISOLATION
Including:
Clostridium difficile (C-Diff)
Scabies, lice, impetigo
Patients with multiple drug resistant organisms (MDRO) like MRSA, VRE, and MDRO gram negative organisms (i.e.Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter).
• Private room required
• Gown required• Gloves required
Protects from diseases spread by contact.

Contact Isolation:
Patient transport:
Patient: Patient wears clean gown.Cover any open wounds.Cover patient with clean sheet prior to transport.
HCW: Wear Personal protective equipment (PPE) when touching patient.(Healthcare Remove and dispose of PPE and perform hand hygiene prior to Worker) transporting patient.
Don clean PPE to handle patient at transport destination.
Visitors: Visitors who are not providing direct care to patients in contact precautions will not need to wear gown and gloves. This does not apply to students, residents or other healthcare providers.
Equipment: Clean glucometers, thermometers or any other equipment used for or on a patient. Dedicate stethoscope, B/P cuff to
each patient.
![Page 37: Hand Washing and Isolation Precautions. Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs) in the USA Today HAIs affect 5-10% of patients in US acute care hospitals](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110116/5516bef6550346f0208b57c0/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
For patients with spore-forming organisms, such as Clostridium difficile(C. diff), you must wash hands with soap and water. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are less effective.
![Page 38: Hand Washing and Isolation Precautions. Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs) in the USA Today HAIs affect 5-10% of patients in US acute care hospitals](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110116/5516bef6550346f0208b57c0/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Memorial Medical Center ONLY
![Page 39: Hand Washing and Isolation Precautions. Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs) in the USA Today HAIs affect 5-10% of patients in US acute care hospitals](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110116/5516bef6550346f0208b57c0/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
AIRBORNE PRECAUTIONS
• Primarily used for suspected or diagnosed TB.• A special ventilation room (negative airflow) is
required. Door is kept closed.• A Powered Air-purifying Respirator (PAPR) is
required to enter the room.• Some areas (surgery, MRI) wear a N-95 mask.
An annual fit-test is required for N-95 users.
Protects from disease spread by air/respiratory tract.

![Page 42: Hand Washing and Isolation Precautions. Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs) in the USA Today HAIs affect 5-10% of patients in US acute care hospitals](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110116/5516bef6550346f0208b57c0/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
AIRBORNE/CONTACT PRECAUTIONS
• Used for other occasions when a special ventilation room (negative airflow) is needed, i.e. varicella (chickenpox), measles, shingles (varicella) in an immunocompromised patient, or disseminated shingles.
• These conditions are also spread by contact so Contact precautions are required also.
• A PAPR, gown and gloves are required to enter the room.

Equipment Decontamination
If extra equipment is taken into an isolation room and used such as a reflex hammer, tuning fork, ophthalmoscope etc., be sure to decontaminate the equipment afterward with the PDI Surface Wipes located in a canister on the infection control cart or plastic wall hanger outside the patient room. Wash your hands after decontaminating the items.
![Page 48: Hand Washing and Isolation Precautions. Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs) in the USA Today HAIs affect 5-10% of patients in US acute care hospitals](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110116/5516bef6550346f0208b57c0/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Note Taking in an Isolation Room
For droplet or airborne isolation do not take notes in the room.
For contact isolation, if you must, follow these steps.• don all appropriate PPE• take paper and a pen into the room • take and record the history information without touching any
equipment or the patient.• place the paper and pen in the anteroom or outside the door. Take
care to cover the information with a blank paper or turn the forms upside down so the information is not visible to those in the hall.
• perform the physical exam, remove the PPE, wash hands and record this information after leaving the room..
