I am wondering if the people at AVATAR (Griffith Uni) might be able to quickly point you in the right direction? Here is a link to their latest newsletter; I am thinking they might be able to get their hands on what you are looking for very quickly.
Thanks, and regards

Hi All,
Wondering if anyone can direct me to any resources/guidelines for either a neonatal sepsis pathway and or a neonatal BSI surveillance program.
I have the Queensland Maternity and Neonatal Clinical Guideline for Early onset Group B Streptococcal disease however, our sepsis working party is wondering what other HHSs are using as a pathway for non GBS sepsis.Appreciate any advice.
Thanks in advance

Hi Cate
We use a film dressing for moist wound healing. The dressing is removed at day 5 when the sutures are removed, this maybe in hospital or at home.

Hello Cate
We have recently renovated a room in the operating suite and there were issues with footprints down the hallway too.
Sticky mats were effective up to a point. I regularly approached the site manager and showed him the footprints. He reminded the workers of their obligation and he drove the improvement. The workers wore white boiler suites. Clean up at the time and damp dust/mop with damp towels on the floor on the inner perimeter of the building works in addition to the sticky mat as they stepped out of the sealed area, when the sanding phase and demolition was in progress…. And yes we were on first name basis too!
Good luck!!
Regards

Sydney universityHi Cate
We did a small renovation and the contractors did a major seal up with plastic during the generation of dust phase. They also used some sticky mats at the exit point.
We had a similar issue with dust in corridors and near the lift. They did mopping twice a day also to keep the area clean.I was on first name basis with them by the end!
Thank you

If it is airborne dust rather than trafficked dust that is the issue, my thoughts would be to get the contractor to create a ‘negative pressure’ zone in the corridor outside the work to stop dust spreading to other areas through the air. There are mobile negative pressure extractors they can hire which can be placed strategically in the corridor.
Just a thought.

P Please consider the environment before printing this emailHi everyone,
I am trying to manage construction dust from the new ICU build- yes the same one as the jumbo toilet rolls- I am having an issue with dusty footprints in the hallway and lift near the construction zone. The wards close to the zone include Renal Dialysis, Maternity, NICU and ICU The contractors regularly mop the hallway etc but the issue is the dust leaving the zone. In the Zone there is a long piece of carpet leading to door and just before the door is another sticky matt. There is also a rubber matt outside the door. There is a sign about wiping feet etc. It is clear that these are not enough, can anyone give me some ideas on the best way to manage this. We have a good working relationship with the contractors and should be able to resolve this issue. Are there better products the contractors can purchase to prevent this dust be transported
Thanks in advance

Hello Rachel
Your luck is in today as I have just moved from theatres to Infection prevention and am currently filling in for Margie Evans.
We are about to open a hybrid theatre at Randwick Campus Operating Suite/ Prince of Wales for endovascular room. I have some links from theatres that would help you out.
The design is yet to be tried and tested as we are still waiting for some last minute issues, but I’m sure they would be happy to help out.
I attending a wonderful conference just the other week in Hobart, beautiful place.

Hi all,
We are in the process of undergoing a Redevelopment of our organisation and as part of this we will be having some ‘hybrid’ theatres. These theatres will be used for the range of normal hybrid procedures including open and endovascular procedures.
Any design advice from anyone? Any experiences that you would be willing to share in terms of design pitfalls.
Kind regards
Rachel……………………………………………………………………………..
