Hi Cathi,
I agree, it sounds like your mattresses need discarding

Hi Cathi
In our facility we only use the pressure foam mattresses which have the hygienic, waterproof multi stretch zip cover which are easy to clean and wipe over. We also have the air cell mattresses which also have the wipeable cover. All beds/mattresses and environments are terminally cleaned between residents. I also dont believe that steam cleaning fabric mattresses and toppers would be adequate infection control.

Good morning colleagues,
Am seeking your input on management of soiled mattresses in a long term residential health facility.
They are fabric mattresses used with a fabric mattress protector (not plastic wrapped), some showing blood or body fluid soiling of indeterminate age. Is steam cleaning acceptable if the surface stain comes out completely, or do they need discarding.
My gut says discard especially if being used after cleaning for another client, but wanted to know your thoughts.
What are other long term facilities using in terms of mattress protection and client comfort?
Kind regards,

HI Danielle,
As hands should be washed if visibly soiled (nappies, continence aids)or in a gastro outbreak, then I would think that Hand basins would be required in the individual rooms

Hi Dannielle,
I think it is good to understand that when there is a patient, hand hygiene basin must be performed. Every. Remember Normal flora & transient flora can cause infection/harm. Remember if the hand of either a carer/parents is soiled with any patients belongings or any procedures; it’s best to do HH in the patients environment. Remember the 5 moments of hand hygiene. After touching the patients environment. If it’s at the corridor, I think it’s another environment apart from the patients environment.
Just some ideas.
Thank you,Betty

Hi brains trustI have just been asked to review the plans for a brand new paediatric hospice, located off campus.
It will provide step down, respite and end of life care to our paediatric patients, with a focus on being a home-like environment.
I am told by the project team that there is no requirement or precedent for clinical handwashing basins in the patient room.
Handwashing by staff can be undertaken in the ensuite or at handbasins located in the corridor.I cannot find any relevant standards pertaining specifically to hospice design. Its scope is not similar to aged care facilities nor a inpatient hospital room.
Can anyone help?Kind regards

Hi Jenny McCarthy,
I once did a micro swabbing exercise for Hand hygiene day and interestingly there was very little environmental growth form the samples, however the Lanyard I swabbed (worn by an RN) grew a Bacillus. Just anecdotal evidence but certainly of interest.

Good morning all
Just after some advice on lanyards – yes or no?
We have not used them here in years, but our relatively new exec team want to reintroduce them.
They have said they will be of a silicone material and can be wiped down regularly (not sure how that will go!!!)
Does anyone have any recent articles/research regarding this that I could use?
Thanks

Hi All
I am fairly new to the role as a centralised IPC lead. Prior to taking on the role, in the recent time my organisation had adopted 4 moments of hand hygiene instead of 5 moments and the rationale behind this is 5 moments apparently doesn’t support aged care setting. If we are to apply a 5 moments, we must either have a ABHR at each resident’s bedside or alternatively all staff would need to carry hand gel with them. The posters were changed from 5 moments to WHO 4 moments.
This was not something that I have implemented, but was there in place. When I started our HH audit, my audit template was based on 4 moments. However, recent SA health online infection course that all aged care workers required to complete still has 5 moments. I find this quite misleading for the staff given there are now 2 different instructions to follow. I was wondering if other organisation follow 4 or 5 moments. If 5, how do you make sure this is followed correctly by staff.
I would really appreciate some response.

Hi Tenzin,
I understand your query regarding 4 vs 5 moments of Hand Hygiene. As all our (Anglicare Southern Qld) resources refer to the 5 moments, I have decided to stay with this even though moment 2 is not relevant to the majority of our staff, (the AINs, HCWs, PCWs.) However removing it would not be suitable for the RNs and EENs who are performing procedures. We have introduced a ‘procedure tray’ that has a sharps container, a kidney dish and hand hygiene on it to take to the bedside/resident when procedures are performed and Hand Hygiene is required, this means we don’t have to place ABHR on the beds.
[cid:image004.png@01D8CC19.FA3C8AB0]
During my education and workshops I address the five, or four moments of Hand Hygiene depending on my audience and this seems to suit our organisation’s approach to transferring the acute focus of infection prevention to the residential environment. Always a challenge for us as IPCs in Aged Care.
Kind regards,
Chris

I would value your feedback on PFRs in your RACFs at the moment. I am recommending we return to surgical masks due to reduced transmission and as we are in between outbreaks and have no positive cases or exposures, I am advising that surgical masks can be used and this will be reviewed in December when there is another predicted wave coming our way.
I am wondering what other facilities are doing? I am in Qld.

Hi Geetha,
These gowns are over and above what is considered a long sleeve fluid resistant gown, and they are sterile which is not necessary for use in an outbreak. This would work out to be very expensive too I am sure.
Kind regards,
Chris

Hi all
I have a question. I am currently overlooking at a regional campus as a IPCC. Currently, the aged care is in lockdown due to Covid19 outbreak.
I have a question about the PPE gowns that are used. The facility is supplied with surgical gowns as isolation gowns. My question is are the surgical gowns used as isolation gowns if there is no supply?
I have attached the pictures for view.
Regards

Sounds like fun Lincoln.
As this is quite an unusual request, I’m wondering if you can actually pop one in sterile packaging and photograph it?Kind regards,

HI Fleur
The Infusion Nurse Society guidelines are excellent, (INS) along with Griffith university AVATAR group and the Australian Commission’s Infection prevention and control guidelines, are all excellent resources for best practice guidelines for Intravascular device insertion and management.

Hi All,
Our IPC Team is currently reviewing our PIVC Policy and in line with the new PIVC Clinical Care Standards we want to place a big focus on pre insertion assessment, appropriate device selection and identification of difficult venous access.
We are hoping to develop some sort of inforgraphic, decision tree or flowchart for this.
I wondered if anyone else has implemented something similar at their facilities and if they would be happy to share there escalation pathways with me.
Many thanks,
Jacky
