1 Isolation precautions Patama Suttha M.D. 15 Dec 2015 Bamrasnaradura Infectious diseases Institute
2 Isolation precautions: Aim Reduce direct or indirect transmission of HAI 3 mechanisms: - Contact transmission : Direct, Indirect - Droplets > 5 micron, travel < 1m - Airborne transmission : suspended in the air
3 Precautions to Prevent Transmission of Infectious Agents Standard precautions 1990s Recommended in care of all hospitalized patients Apply when contact with blood, other body fluids, nonintact skin, mucous membranes and secretions and excretions except sweat Transmission based precautions - Contact Precaution Direct contact Indirect contact - Droplets Precaution - Airborne Precautions
4
5 Isolation precautions 3 different types : Contact Isolation Precautions used for infections, diseases, or germs that are spread by touching the patient or items in the room (ex: MRSA, VRE, diarrheal illnesses, open wounds, RSV). Droplet Isolation Precautions used for diseases or germs that are spread in tiny droplets caused by coughing and sneezing (ex: pneumonia, influenza, Pertussis, Meningococcemia). Airborne Isolation Precautions used for diseases or very small germs that are spread through the air from one person to another (ex: TB, measles, chickenpox
6 Contact precautions Transmission by skin to skin contact Direct physical transfer of organisms : - EVD, Lassa, Marburg HF - Colonization or infection with MDR - C. difficile infection - Acute diarrhea in incontinent pt - Respiratory virus - Skin infection : Impetigo, decubitus, abscess, Cutaneous diphtheria - Scabies, Pediculosis, HSV, HZV
7 Contact precautions Private room if possible When not available, cohort pt with the same organism without other infection Nonsterile gloves, clean and nonsterile gown : Before entering pt room Hand hygiene Limit pt transportation Use equipment to a single patient
8 Contact precaution Direct contact Indirect contact Norwegian scabies Herpetic Whitlow Common:Children,Dentis ts, Med care providers
9 Contact Precautions Apply to patients with any of the following conditions and/or disease: Presence of stool incontinence (may include patients with norovirus, rotavirus, or Clostridium difficile) Draining wounds, uncontrolled secretions, pressure ulcers, or presence of ostomy tubes and/or bags draining body fluids Presence of generalized rash or exanthems
10 Contaminated Surfaces tested positive for VRE (+) in patient environment. Hayden M. ICAAC,2001, Chicago, IL
11 Droplet precautions Apply to pts known / suspected to be infected with a pathogen that transmitted by droplet route ( > 5 micron) during sneezing, coughing, talking or during invasive procedures eg Bronchoscopy Adenovirus, influenza, Bordetella pertusis, pharyngeal diphtheria For first 24 hrs of Rx meningococcemia, group A streptococcus, Scarlet fever in young children Mumps, Parvovirus B19, Rubellla Plague( Pneumonic), Mycoplasma pneumoniae
12 Droplet precautions Private room if possible Maintain seperation at least 1 meter between the pt and the others Special ventilation is unnecessary Surgical mask : Within < 1 m of the pt Limit pt transport : maintain isolation precaution during transportation
13 Airborne Precautions Apply to patients known or suspected to be infected with a pathogen ( < 5 um) that can be transmitted by airborne route Tuberculosis ( Pulmonary/Laryngeal TB) Measles Chickenpox (until lesions are crusted) Localized (in immunocompromised pt) or diss. herpes zoster (until lesions are crusted over) Patient enter through a separate entrance to the facility if available, to avoid the reception and registration area
14 Airborne Precautions Negative air pressure room ( AIIR) 6-12 ACH Keep door closed Respiratory protection : N95 ( Face seal leak < 10%) In outbreak situation : molded surgical mask may be effective TB : Maintain isolation until TB ruled out or Rx until smear neg AFB * 3 days MDR TB : Isolation throughout hospitalization
15 Airborne Precautions Once the patient leaves, the exam room should remain vacant for generally 1 hour before anyone enters; however, adequate wait time may vary depending on the ventilation rate of the room If staff must enter the room during the wait time, they are required to use respiratory protection

25 Case discussion : Isolation precaution Isolation precaution Adjunctive measures Postexposure prophylaxis Immunoprophylaxis
26 Case 1 Thai male, 18 yrs Low graded fever with rash 1 days Pregnancy 16 wks HCWs exposed to the pt Varicella (Chickenpox)
27 Q; Diagnosis? Preg HCW! What do you do with this HCWs first? a. Prescribe antiviral prophylaxis b. Taking past history of varicella or immunization c. Prescribe Varicella IG d. Exclude from work facility from D 8-21 after exposure
28 Evidence of immunity to varicella Written documentation of varicella Prior lab evidence of immunity Prior Dx of VZV by a healthcare provider Self-reporting of past varicella history 10-30% of negative or uncertain history of varicella are found VZV seronegative.
29 Isolation precautions: VZV Isolation room : Negative pressure room; AIIR In limitted engineering resource masking patient, placing the patient in a private room with the door closed Susceptible HCW : N95 or mask if N95 mask not available ( Restrict suscep HCW) Pt with VZV : face mask Contact cases with index case :? Susceptible or not
30 Type of postexposure prophylaxis Active immunization : Vaccine Passive immunization : Varicella Ab
31 Postexposure prophylaxis Active immunization : Vaccine within 3-5 d of exposure to prevent infection and lessen disease severity in those become ill. Passive immunization : VariZIG in 4-10 d after exposure ( IC of varicella d) For high risk pt who have additional exposure to VZV > 3 wks after initial dose, another dose of VARIZIg should be considered
32 Recommendation of Varicella IG ( VZIG) Pregnant women who lack immunity to varicella IC hosts, on immunosupressive drugs, Neoplastic disease Neonate whose mothers develop varicella within 5 days before and after 48 hr delivery or mothers have no history of varicella and/or a negative immune status, Premature infants < 28 Wks VariZIg might extend incubation period to from d to > 28 d
33 PEP : Varicella If VariZIG is not available, IVIG can be considered (within 10 days of exposure) In the absence of both VariZIG and IVIG, some experts recommend prophylaxis with Acyclovir (80 mg/kg/day qid for 7 d ;Max 800 mg qid) 7 10 days after exposure for people without evidence of immunity and with contraindications for varicella vaccination.
34 Role of antibiotic varicella PEP Acyclovir : Not routine preemptive use for healthy persons. No RCT Small study : ( 16% Vs 100 %) Varicella vaccine is preferred. Duration of isolation : Until lesions dry and crusted

46 Meningococcemia : PEP regimen Adults : rifampicin 600 mg q 12 hr 2d ciprofloxacin 500 mg single dose ceftriaxone 250 mg IM single dose Children: < 1 mo 5mg/kg q 12 hr * 2 d > 1 mo 10 mg/kg q 12 hr * 2 d <15 yrs ceftriaxone 125 IM* 1 dose
47 Case 5 EVD : 2-21 d
48 Isolation precautions :EVD Isolation room : Yes ; single pt room preferred or cohort ward PEP for HCW : glove,gown, goggles or face shield, mask, leg or shoe covers Emphasize: use of sharps safety devices and safe work N 95 respirator when performing aerosolgenerating procedures. Options for cleaning and laundry are limited. Duration of Isolation : Duration of illness
49 Guidance on PPE for Health Care Workers N95 for Airborned Generate Procedure Hand hygiene should be performed immediately after removal of PPE
