Summary of
Assessment of Injection Practices in India
Over all 63.5% injection are unsafe, 70% Public Sector and
60% in private.
Immunization particularly those given to children below three
year is absolutely essential and all of these must be
administered in a safe manner. These injections assume
additional significance in view of the finding that 74%
injection at immunization clinic were administered in unsafe
manner.
The huge quantum of unsafe injection results that each year
(Rs 189 Crore)* can potentially be associated with major
public health problem
*Approx Amount spend on Health in India
P.A
Staphylococcus
Pseudomonas, E. coli and other gram negatives
Clostridium difficile
Candida
Some viral agents such as RSV (respiratory syncytial
virus), and influenza
Multidrug resistant organisms (MDROs), such as MRSA,
VRE
Patients, who are colonized (carriers) of MDROs, are a
source for spread within the hospital and are at risk of
developing deadly infections.

Aseptic Technique
Practice of ensuring that bacteria are excluded
from open sites during surgery, wound dressing,
blood sampling, and other medical procedures.
Aseptic technique is a first line of defense
against infection.
Standard Precautions
The first tier of the CDC isolation guidelines
is Standard Precautions. Since patient
examination and medical history cannot
reliably identify every patient with blood
borne pathogens and other diseases,
Standard Precautions apply to all patients
and all body substances. The risk of
infection can be minimized if Standard
Precautions are followed for ALL PATIENTS.

Transmission-Based Precautions
The second tier of the CDC guidelines is
transmission-based precautions. There are three
simple sets of precautions based on likely routes
of transmission.
The precautions are designed to prevent airborne,
droplet, and contact transmission of pathogens.
Airborne Precautions
Droplet Precautions
CONTACT PRECAUTIONS
Contact Precautions are
designed to halt the
transmission of pathogens
which may be spread by
direct contact with the
patient, contaminated
equipment, or the
patients environment.
Contact Precautions are
designed for different
types of infections which
may survive for extended
periods in the
environment (e.g., C diff,
MRSA, VRE,).
CONTACT PRECAUTIONS
Remove the gown and gloves and perform hand hygiene before
leaving the room (take care not to touch any potentially infectious
items or surfaces on the way out).
UTI Prevention
Most healthcare acquired UTIs are related to
foley catheters-avoid catheter placement if at
all possible-remove catheters as soon as
possible
Use strict aseptic technique for foley insertionsterile field, prep with pick ups, dont
contaminate catheter
Bag below level of patient.
Proper technique for specimen collection
Foley Care twice a day and with continous care
ADDITIONAL CONCERNS
Conclusion
Infection Control is crucial for patient safety.
Infection control in the hospital is the responsibility of
every person working in healthcare. Consistent and
conscientious practice of infection control principles
can prevent unnecessary suffering.
Effective communication about the presence of
infectious diseases and following hospital policies are
essential to the hospital's effort to protect patients,
staff, and others in the acute-care environment.
All employees are urged to report poor practices
which might harm patients or staff. Report to
manager or to Infection Control Dept.
The safety of our patients and staff depends on all of
us.
