Hi Michael, we started adding vaccines to the AIR last year. It does add somewhat to our work load. But I would also say that access to the AIR has benefits in terms of being able to see where some employees (including future employees) have already had vaccines and thereby reducing the number of un-necessary vaccines.
Regards,
Kate Hipsley

Dear Rita, this product is our go to glove when staff experience skin issues and where their medical advice is to try an alternate glove. The possible risks you mentioned in my opinion would be negated by the fact that the HCWs skin is usually in a better state (or at least not deteriorating further) after using the gloves.
Happy to discuss our experience offline if you wish.

Dear John,
I see this issue has having wider health system implications than just
the protection of Anaesthetists. Like it or not, other healthcare
workers will emulate what the Anaesthetists do (eg our Paramedics, who
do a lot of airway management).Yes it is a risk, and is worth addressing.

Dear Mandy,
this is not a detailed response to the specific questions you pose, but
a comment that sometimes this surveillance and in particular, the
detailed investigation of each case, can lead to issues/outcomes related
to other health services eg an Ambulance Service. I was part of a
presentation to ACIPC in Tasmania where we described a joint project /
program from 2011-12 onwards to reduce SABSIs related to PIVCs inserted
by NSW Ambulance. I would call this a win, as the number of SABSIs
reported from NSW Ambulance inserted PIVCs remain extremely low even now.regards,

Hi Fiona,
Ambulance NSW uses chlorhex / alcohol swabs prep for all PIVC with the full knowledge that their cannulas should be removed ASAP or within 24 hours. We do this because aseptic insertion in emergency situations can be difficult if not impossible to achieve.

Hi all,
There have been needlestick injuries reported by paramedics from handling patient medications in the community where patient lancets have also been stored. I am also aware of needlestick injuries to paramedics related to the use of “safety engineered sharps” when the safety feature has been incompletely activated or the device poorly managed. My recommendation and teaching is for all used sharps to be placed into “sharps containers”.Regards,
Kate Hipsley

So there may be different rules governing sharps disposal in the community in different places as well. All adds to the confusion.

I have been following this listserv thread and seeing the commentary around emergency inserted IVCs, thought I would contribute.
Ambulance Service of NSW has recently amended their cannulation procedure to include better documentation of when and where their cannulas are inserted. We now place a bright yellow sticker on the IV dressing stating Ambulance Inserted. This is in recognition of the fact that paramedics have substantial challenges to maintaining asepsis in their various work locations. ACT Ambulance also use a similar sticker.
We hope that procedure change will make it easier for hospital staff to identify those emergency cannulas.

I know there is some debate on this issue and recent evidence suggests routine resite is unnecessary.

Saying that, not all Hospitals has IV teams to resite all the necessary IV cannulas.

Dear all, I think we all know that it is inappropriate and just plain WRONG, and that we are all teaching appropriate behaviors and correcting misunderstandings, and it was a great question Joe-anne. However it does open up the whole glove usage, dare I say over usage question.
Perhaps the topic for another discussion thread?

Dear all,
I was a patient recently in a NSW private hospital and I did see such
practice, but was too unwell to care at the time! I also get asked if
that practice is OK by novice paramedics who are trying to understand
and combine appropriate hand hygiene and PPE into their daily habits.Kate Hipsley

Dear all,
I was a patient recently in a NSW private hospital and I did see
such practice, but was too unwell to care at the time! I also get
asked if that practice is OK by novice paramedics who are trying to
understand and combine appropriate hand hygiene and PPE into their
daily habits.Kate Hipsley

Subject: Alcohol Hand Gel and GlovesHi
Has anyone else noticed
staff wearing gloves and then cleaning the gloves with
alcohol hand rub – rather than removing the gloves and
performing hand hygiene?Thanks
