DVD Segment: Standard Precautions

Bloodborne pathogens are bacteria/viruses that can cause disease in humans For diseases to be transmitted, ALL 4 of the following conditions must be met…

Bloodborne Pathogens 1. Pathogen must be present 2. Sufficient quantity of pathogen present 3. Person is susceptible to pathogen 4. Pathogen passes through correct entry site.

Diseases are transmitted in FOUR different ways…

Direct Contact Occurs when infected blood or body fluids from one person enter another person’s body at a correct entry site.

Direct Contact

Indirect Contact Occurs when a person touches an object that contains the blood/body fluid of an infected person, and that infected blood/body fluid enters the body through a correct entry site.

Indirect Contact

Droplet Transmission Occurs when a person inhales droplets from an infected person’s cough or sneeze.

Droplet Transmission

Vector-borne Transmission Occurs when the body’s skin is penetrated by an infectious source

Vector-borne Transmission

How to Remove Gloves It is important to remove soiled gloves correctly to avoid contact with any fluids

Resuscitation Masks Cover victim’s mouth and nose Come in various sizes (children, infant)

Resuscitation masks have several benefits…. 1. Create seal over victim’s mouth and nose 2. Supply air to victim more quickly through mouth/nose 3. Can be connected to emergency oxygen if they have O2 outlet. 4. PROTECT AGAINST DISEASE TRANSMISSION!
