Patients and healthcare workers will be endangered by HICPAC’s draft guidelines that don’t fully recognize airborne infection control. Tell CDC’s HICPAC we don’t want patients or healthcare workers to be infected in healthcare.

PS: there are very few ways to communicate more immediately to patients that they aren’t welcome in your practice. If you go out of your way to make sure it’s in the confirmation? That’s a pretty strong 🖕🏻 from the outset.

And y’all people have the audacity to complain that patients complain about you on the internet lol. What a joke. [e]ugenics

Open-access book on sepsis in resource-limited settings. 2019.

Sepsis Management in Resource-limited Settings is a comprehensive set of recommendations for the management of sepsis in resource-limited settings.

As much as I love stumbling across these kinds of resources, I have to wonder how often they make their way to where they're most needed, in a usable format/language. Still, amping the signal a bit in case it helps get this kind of thing where it needs to go.

Patients with diarrhoea often quickly isolated as ? C diff.

What if that isn't the diagnosis?

Neg result from near-patient testing:
👉 Shorter time in (unnecessary) isolation
👉 Shorter duration of (unnecessary) antibiotics

"Although it is imperative to prevent healthcare-associated spread of respiratory pathogens, we must critically assess interventions that, when added upon core layers of infection prevention, may not attain the intended impact & may have unintended consequences"

Asking adults to wear a mask if they have a respiratory infection and need to go out is sensible, ministers say.

“Kierat suggests that a good contaminant control solution in hospital rooms is to position the Total Volume exhaust as close as possible to the polluting source: the sick coughing patient in this case. Similar arrangement has been suggested by others (Cheong & Phua 2006; @CathNoakes et al. 2009; Tung et al. 2009). The results of our computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis leads us to the same conclusion.” doi.org/10.1007/s12273-011-005

Increase in carbapenemase producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in 🇩🇪 among refugees or evacuated patients from 🇺🇦 (red bars on graph, blue line = total).

In particular NDM-1 and NDM-1/OXA-48-producing K. pneumoniae.

It is not that physicians and researchers suddenly shifted. It is that one party completely shifted against even forcing anybody that hold evidence based rational positions on public health to sound partisan.

Thanks for this! Seems to me VRE is an overall safety & quality of care indicator reflecting and . Need to think about this more. Lots of confounders acknowledged. 🤔

After years of promoting sane policy and recently awareness, there are now three staff (out sick) and two tenants + on my building of 30 apartments.

Maintenance guy just shrugs and say "they're not dying" and enters building without mask.

Anyone using UV-C to disinfect rhino laryngoscopes in outpatient ENT / speech pathology clinics?

Keen to learn how the devices can be safely hung inside the cabinet.
