This book was released on 2011-12-26 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intensive care is a rapidly changing area of medicine, and after four years from the 2nd edition the volume editors and authors have deemed necessary to update it. In the recent years, in fact, five new randomised controlled trials and five new meta-analyses demonstrate that selective decontamination of the digestive tract [SDD] is an antimicrobial prophylaxis to prevent severe infections of not only lower airways but also of blood. Additionally, SDD has been shown to reduce inflammation including multiple organ failure and mortality. An intriguing observation is the evidence that SDD using parenteral and enteral antimicrobials reduces rather than increases antimicrobial resistance. Moreover, a new chapter on microcirculation had been added. The volume will be an invaluable tool for all those requiring in depth knowledge in the ever expanding field of infection control.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These guidelines provide recommendations that outline the critical aspects of infection prevention and control. The recommendations were developed using the best available evidence and consensus methods by the Infection Control Steering Committee. They have been prioritised as key areas to prevent and control infection in a healthcare facility. It is recognised that the level of risk may differ according to the different types of facility and therefore some recommendations should be justified by risk assessment. When implementing these recommendations all healthcare facilities need to consider the risk of transmission of infection and implement according to their specific setting and circumstances.

Download or read book Infection Control in Nurse Education and Practice written by Rozila Horton and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A patient entering an acute hospital stands a one in ten chance of acquiring an infection. These hospital-acquired infections carry with them both human and financial costs. Many infections are preventable and nurses are ideally placed to practise effective infection control and provide care that is of high quality and which uses resources effectively. The studies reported here focus upon the infection control nursing practice, the degree of knowledge, awareness and perception of factors relating to HAI amongst nurses and the microbiological and infection control knowledge base provided within the present nurse education programme. The two stage study consisted of participant observation in two district general hospitals, semi-structured interviews and a questionnaire study of nurse teachers and clinically based nurses in these districts (Stage I). Stage II was a large scale questionnaire of clinical practitioners within the local region, of student teachers and of qualified nurse teachers in geographically scattered areas of the country. Specific procedures of methodology and results are discussed. The findings suggest that: 1. Nurses rely almost exclusivly on the knowledge gained through basic education to inform their infection control nursing practice. 2. Nurses and nurse teachers consider a knowledge of microbiology essential to safe infection control practice but consider the current provision of such knowledge to be insufficient. 3. Although considered to be essential, the knowledge of microbiology demonstrated by nurses fall far short of that which is required for ìnformed' nursing practice. The implications of these results in relation to patient care are discussed and recommendations made with regard to both education and clinical practice.
