Question: Hello!!

I was at hospital visiting my grandmother and I saw that nurse was making mistakes during here work – she was putting catheter with physiological liquid to patient without gloves, and after that
she was doing the same without hand disinfection and without gloves. After that I went to general nurse and explained that situation – and that is really wrong and that is a big risk of hospital infection to week patients.

I wanted to ask you does physiological liquid and its catheter and their parts –
Are they in packed in some package before its use, so we can avoid its contact with dirty non disinfected hands of nurse and we can avoid hospital infection with catheter moving in.

And in one of material I was said that –
Most patients undergo intravascular catheter placement at some time during their hospitalization, including ~ 145 million peripheral venous catheters and ~ 3–5 million central venous catheters per annum in the U.S., and ~ 18–25% of these catheters become colonized at some time during the course of their use.

XXXX


So it means it could be transmitted also in other way – no only by incorrect use of them, but what are other way how catheter can become infected ?
From skin – bacteria colonized skin ? Or other way??

Than you

You missed to answer one of my question –


I wanted to ask you does physiological liquid and its catheter and their parts.
Are they in packed in some package before its use, so we can avoid its contact with dirty non disinfected hands of nurse and we can avoid hospital infection with catheter moving in?

If I m in hospital
If the nurse come in my – chamber (hospital room) and in front of my eyes pack out catheter with disinfected hands and with gloves I m sure that I will avoid infection problems.

Thank you

A qestion about one of your answers !

Infection trasmison posiblity -

3. Nosocomial infection from atmosphere of hospital.

As i know in hopitals there are air filtr system that try to desinfect air !!
of cores posibility is !

But for example MRSA air trasmisopn i think is low !!

And what kind of infection can travel by air - like tubercalosis ?

so the what did you XXXXXXX by this answer ?

3. Nosocomial infection from atmosphere of hospital.

what kind of infection ?
atmosphere of hospital - you mean some wind blows and that bacteria gets on skin after that get on site of catheter and could infect you !!

but i thin this risk is low !

isnt it ?

one other qestion - how the wound or surgery site should be covered, that it would avoid infection !

it should be covered with gaze ?

the material should be Waterproof ?

can bacteria get through gaze - wound that is covered with water permeable material ?

Or the wound is proper covored with gaze it is ok to avoid infection ?

Thank you !!

what did you mean by wound is prone ?

how to understand it ?
and if surgury site is sewn - and it is not to big it will be covered with gauze !

At hospital doctor will decide what to put on whaterproof dresing or gaze ?

For example if the wound is cleaned and covered wit lot of layers of gaze – and if the nurse touch it with non disinfected hands and if the bacteria – HA MRSA touch my gaze it can get through all layers of gaze and infect my wound – or not ?

Hello !!

One doctor thinks in other way

Brief Answer:
Number of gauze doesn't makes any difference.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Yes if the gauze is handled unhygienic way then the gauze gets colonised with bacteria. These bacteria multiply and spread till it reaches the wound. But disinfectant used will avoid contact of bacteria with the wound.

Even waterproof bandages , if handled unhygienic way can get colonised with bacteria.

Hope this information was useful.
