Hello everyone,We are currently undertaking risk assessments in preparation for accreditation. Historically, for posters/flyers etc. we mandate that they must be laminated to ensure they are cleanable and reduce risk for contamination from aerosols/droplets etc.
We have been posed a question related to sign-up sheets in a sub-acute area. These posters are on notice boards for < 8 hours and are for patients to express their interest in group activities.
They are:
1.In an area where risk of splash contamination is low, and
2.They are not a permanent fixture.Is it appropriate for these to be used without being laminated? I cannot find any relevant guidelines/recommendations/standards that clearly define the requirement in this instance.
Thank you,

Hi Cate,we only isolate and initiate contact precautions if the Acinetobacter is multi drug resistant, maybe question the ID physician as he may have another reason for isolation?
Would be interested to know their response. Good luckJayne

http://www.sah.org.auHI everyone
ID team have just recommended that we isolate in contact precautions an ICU patient with a sensitive Acinetobacter Baumannii in his sputum . Currently we only isolate and used contact transmission based precautions for multi resistant Acinetobacter Species.
The NHMRC guidelines do not include this pathogen in Section 6.4Type and duration of precautions for specific infections and conditions .Until now we have always managed this pathogen using standard precautions when it is sensitive and in contact precautions when resistant.
Can you let you how you manage patients with this pathogen in your hospital? Do you include this pathogen in your transmission based precautions guidelines?

I hope to you a good luck
But kindly be informed that , if resus area will be a negative pressure area it will affect the patient inside if your hospital scope of work is receiving an immune compromised patients so, it is preferred to have an negative pressure isolation separate beds instead of turning the resus to negative area for more patient safety

We are currently in the process of building the new 450 bed Tweed Valley Hospital and would like to have a ED resus room with negative pressure capabilities.
Are there other facilities that have this capacity in their ED?I would appreciate any information that will support our ED team in their negotiations.
