Patients receiving hemodialysis are vulnerable to infectious diseases due to their impaired immunity and high risk of exposure to pathogens. To protect patients, staff, and visitors from potential infections, each hemodialysis unit should establish and follow standard infection control and prevention measures. Therefore, clinical practice guidelines were developed by a working group of nephrologists and infection control specialists to provide evidence-based guidance for dialysis physicians and nurses, with the aim of preventing infection transmission and controlling infection sources in hemodialysis facilities. The areas of infection control covered by these guidelines include standard precautions, isolation strategies, vascular access, water treatment, cleaning/disinfecting/sterilizing, and vaccination. This special report summarizes the key recommendations from the Korean clinical practice guidelines for preventing the transmission of infections in hemodialysis facilities.
接受血液透析的患者由于免疫力受损且接触病原体的风险高，易患传染病。为保护患者、工作人员和访客免受潜在感染，每个血液透析单元应制定并遵循标准的感染控制和预防措施。因此，一个由肾脏病学家和感染控制专家组成的工作组制定了临床实践指南，为透析医生和护士提供循证指导，目的是预防血液透析机构中的感染传播并控制感染源。这些指南涵盖的感染控制领域包括标准预防措施、隔离策略、血管通路、水处理、清洁/消毒/灭菌以及疫苗接种。本特别报告总结了韩国血液透析机构预防感染传播临床实践指南的关键建议。
