Thousands of hours and dollars have been devoted to search for the most efficient way to protect our patients, our family members, and ourselves from potentially life-altering infections. To date, one of the most efficient methods of implementing conscientious infection control for our collective protection is to practice universal precautions in the form of personal barrier technique for all patients treated. The areas of personal barrier protection for consideration by every practitioner are hand washing and hand care and use of gloves, gowns, masks, protective eyewear, and rubber dams.
为了寻找最有效的方法来保护我们的患者、家人和自己免受可能改变生活的感染,已经投入了数千小时和大量资金。迄今为止,为了我们的集体防护而实施认真的感染控制的最有效方法之一,是以对所有接受治疗的患者采用个人屏障技术的形式来实行普遍预防措施。每位从业者都应考虑的个人屏障防护领域包括洗手与手部护理以及使用手套、隔离衣、口罩、防护眼镜和橡皮障。
