Infection Control
Introduction
Infection control program
Infection control practices
Environmental management practices
Care of health care workers
Infection control precaution for selected
situations
CHAIN OF INFECTION
Infection requires a chain of events
The role of the hospital
epidemiologist/infection control is to
understand this chain and the most efficient
means of interrupting transmission

Important components .
7. effective work practices and procedures, such as
environmental management practices including
management of hospital/clinical waste, support
services (e.g., food, linen), use of therapeutic
devices;
8. surveillance;
9. incident monitoring;
10. outbreak investigation;
11. infection control in specific situations; and
12. research
Organization
The hospital administrator/head of hospital
should:
Establish an infection control committee
which will in turn appoint an infection control
team
Standard precautions
Treating all patients in the health care facility with the same
basic level of standard precautions involves work
practices that are essential to provide a high level of
protection to patients, health care workers and visitors
1. hand washing and antisepsis (hand hygiene)
2. use of personal protective equipment when handling
blood, body substances, excretions and secretions
3. appropriate handling of patient care equipment and
soiled linen
4. prevention of needle-stick/sharp injuries
5. environmental cleaning and spills-management
6. appropriate handling of waste.
Hand transmission
Hands are the most
common vehicle to
transmit health careassociated pathogens
Transmission of
health care-associated
pathogens from one
patient to another via
health-care workers
hands requires

How to handrub
To effectively reduce the growth
of germs on hands,
handrubbing must be
performed by following all of
the illustrated steps.
This takes only 2030 seconds!
How to handwash
To effectively reduce the growth
of germs on hands,
handwashing
must last 4060 secs
and should be performed by
following all of the illustrated
steps
2. Hand antisepsis/decontamination
Hand antisepsis removes or destroys transient microorganisms and confers a prolonged effect
carried out in one of the following two ways:
Wash hands and forearms with antimicrobial soap and water, for
15-30 seconds (following manufacturers instructions)
Decontaminate hands with a waterless, alcohol-based hand gel
or hand rub for 15-30 seconds
This is appropriate for hands that are not soiled with protein
matter or fat
Immersion of hands in bowls of antiseptics is not recommended.
Types of.
3. Surgical hand antisepsis
Surgical hand antisepsis removes or destroys
transient micro-organisms and confers a
prolonged effect.
The hands and forearms are washed thoroughly
with an antiseptic soap for a minimum of 2-3
minutes.
The hands are dried using a sterile towel
Surgical hand antisepsis is required before
performing invasive procedures
Material used
Specific antiseptics: recommended for hand antisepsis:
2%-4% chlorhexidine
5%-7.5% povidone iodine
1% triclosan, or
70% alcoholic hand rubs.
Waterless, alcohol-based hand rubs: with antiseptic
and emollient gel and alcohol swabs, which can be
applied to clean hands.
gloves
protective eye wear (goggles)
mask
apron
gown
boots/shoe covers
cap/hair cover
Mask
Gloves
Use disposable gloves that are:
clean/non-sterile for routine care of the infectious
patients;
sterile for invasive procedures
Removing Gloves
When removing personal protective
equipment, remove gloves first
Roll the two gloves together taking
care not to contaminate the hands
Discard appropriately
Wash hands and decontaminate
with 70% alcohol hand rub/solution
Additional (transmission-based)
Precautions
Additional (transmission-based) precautions are
taken while ensuring standard precautions are
maintained.
Airborne precautions
designed to reduce the transmission of diseases spread by the
airborne route
Airborne transmission occurs when droplet nuclei <5 micron in size
are disseminated in the air
Droplet nuclei are the residuals of droplets and when suspended in
the air, dry and produce particles ranging in size from 1-5 micron.
These particles can remain suspended in the air for long periods of
time, especially when bound on dust particles.
Diseases which spread by this mode include open/active pulmonary
tuberculosis (TB), measles, chicken pox, pulmonary plague and
haemorrhagic fever with pneumonia.
Airborne Precaution
Implement standard precautions
Droplet Precautions
Diseases, which are transmitted by this route, include
pneumonias, pertussis, diphtheria, influenza type B,
mumps, and meningitis.
Droplet transmission occurs when there is adequate contact
between the mucous membranes of the nose and mouth or
conjunctivae of a susceptible person and large particle
droplets (> 5 microns)
Droplets are usually generated from the infected person
during coughing, sneezing, talking or when health care
workers undertake procedures such as tracheal suctioning
Droplet Precautions
Implement standard precautions
Place patient in a single room (or in a room with another
patient infected by the same pathogen)
Wear a surgical mask when working within 1-2 meters of
the patient
Place a surgical mask on the patient if transport is
necessary
Special air handling and ventilation are not required to
prevent droplet transmission of infection
Fate of Droplets
Organisms Liberated
Talking 0-200
Coughing 0-3500
Sneezing 4500-1,000,000
Contact Precautions
Diseases which are transmitted by this route include
colonization or infection with multiple antibiotic resistant
organisms, enteric infections and skin infections.
The following precautions need to be taken:
Contact Precautions
Wear clean, non-sterile gloves when entering the room
Wear a clean, non-sterile gown when entering the
room if substantial contact with the patient,
environmental surfaces or items in the patients room
is anticipated
Limit the movement and transport of the patient from
the room; patients should be moved for essential
purposes only. If transportation is required, use
precautions to minimize the risk of transmission.
Protective environment
required for some neutropenic patients. Ultra clean
unidirectional air may be required in some units such
as hematology or intensive care due to the level of
immunosuppression of the patients
Water
Cleaning of the hospital environment
Waste Management
Laundry
Reprocessing of instruments and equipment
Cleaning, disinfection and sterilization
Cleaning: prior to any reprocessing to achieve
disinfection or sterility all instruments and equipment
MUST be cleaned
Disinfection
Disinfection removes micro-organisms without
complete sterilization
Certain products and processes will provide different
levels of disinfection:
1.
2.
3.
2. Chemical disinfection
The performance of chemical disinfectants is
dependent on a number of factors including:
temperature, contact time, concentration, pH,
presence of organic or inorganic matter and
the numbers and resistance of the initial
bioburden on a surface
Sterilization
Sterilization is the destruction of all microorganisms and can be achieved by either
physical or chemical methods
Sterilization is necessary for medical devices
penetrating sterile body sites
