Abstract

Hospitalized patients especially those with hematological malignancies are usually at high risk for nosocomial infections. There are three main routes of infection transmission in hospitals are airborne, droplet and contact. An infecting microorganism, however, can be transmitted by more than one route. Nosocomial viral infection represents 1% of nosocomial pathogens. The isolation guidelines issued by CDC involve two-level approach: Standard Precautions, which apply to all clients and patients attending healthcare facilities, and Transmission-Based Precautions, which apply to hospitalized patients. There are three sets of Transmission-Based Precautions (air, droplet or contact). In all situations, whether used alone or in combination, Transmission-Based Precautions must be used in conjunction with the Standard Precautions.
Private room for the patient, and If private room not available, place patient in room with patient having active infection with the same disease, but with no other infection, Wear surgical mask. Limit transport of patient to essential purposes only, notify area receiving patient, Wear clean gloves and remove gloves before leaving patient room, wash hands with antibacterial agent, or use a waterless, alcohol-based antiseptic hand rub, after removing gloves and clean and disinfect any equipment shared among infected and noninfected patients after each use.
