Background As many countries fear and even experience the emergence of a second wave COVID-19, reminding health care workers (HCWs) other hospital employees critical role they play in preventing SARS-CoV-2 transmission is more important than ever. Building strengthening intrinsic motivation HCWs to apply infection prevention control (IPC) guidelines avoid contaminating their colleagues, patients, friends, relatives goal that must be energetically pursued. A high rate nosocomial infections...
Background The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has led to increased use of personal protective equipment (PPE). Adequate this is more critical than ever because the risk shortages must be balanced against need effectively protect health care workers, including prehospital personnel. Specific training therefore necessary; however, for social distancing markedly disrupted delivery continuing education courses. Electronic learning (e-learning) may provide significant advantages it...
Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) are among the most common adverse events of medical care. Surveillance HAI is a key component successful infection prevention programmes. Conventional surveillance - manual chart review resource intensive and limited by concerns regarding interrater reliability. This has led to development use automated (AS). Many AS systems product in-house efforts heterogeneous in their design methods. With this roadmap, PRAISE network aims provide guidance on how...
As most automated surveillance (AS) methods to detect healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) have been developed and implemented in research settings, information about the feasibility of large-scale implementation is scarce.To describe key aspects design AS systems European institutions hospitals.An online survey was distributed via e-mail February/March 2019 among (i) PRAISE (Providing a Roadmap for Automated Infection Surveillance Europe) network members; (ii) corresponding authors...
To avoid misuse of personal protective equipment (PPE), ensure health care workers' safety, and shortages, effective communication up-to-date infection control guidelines is essential. As prehospital teams are particularly at risk contamination given their challenging work environment, a specific gamified electronic learning (e-learning) module targeting this audience might provide significant advantages as it requires neither the presence learners nor repetitive use for demonstration.The...
Peripheral intravenous catheters (PVCs) are the most frequently used indwelling devices in hospitals worldwide. catheter bloodstream infections (PVC-BSIs) rare, but severe and preventable, adverse events.To investigate incidence of PVC-BSIs after changing policy routine PVC replacement every 96 hours to clinically indicated replacement.This institution-wide, observational cohort study evaluated all patients hospitalized at a large university-affiliated hospital with 10 sites Western...
Background: Half of the 35.3 million refugees worldwide are women and a third childbearing age, making reproductive healthcare in humanitarian settings indispensable. Caesarean section (CS) is most common operation worldwide, accounting for 18.6% births. Objective: This study provides descriptive analysis caesarean sections protracted refugee setting. Methods: retrospective review CS recorded logbooks between November 2000 September 2020, inclusive. Data was abstracted from paper included...
In 2017, the global hand hygiene day (5th May) focuses on battling antimicrobial resistance (AMR). It promotes strong infection prevention and control comprehensive stewardship programmes to prevent hospital-acquired infections reduce spread of AMR in healthcare facilities.
