Transmission.

Back 21

Transmission-Based Precautions:

Front 22

the 3 routes of
Transmission?

Back 22

airborne
droplet
contact

Front 23

Designed to reduce risk of transmitting particles containing pathogens
(e.g. TB, measles, rubella).
Patients are placed in rooms with negative airflow and special air filters.
Doors to these rooms should remain closed.
You must wear N95 particulate respirator

Back 23

Airborne Precautions

Asbestos cleanup

Back 24

Negative Pressure Rooms

Front 25

HVAC system adjusted so that air moves out of the room at a constant rate

Used in isolation
Immune compromised patients (HIV/AIDS, Pedi)
Burn units
Operating room
