HI John
This is so important, not only from a PPE perspective, but also a HH
perspective! Their compliance is appalling on both fronts and then throw in
aseptic technique compliance and we wonder why we get line infections, I
think it is high tide that we made a stand.I am more than happy to put my hand up and assist!
Thanks for raising the issue

Dear All
The College of Anaesthetists avoids specifying in their infection control
guideline as to whether PPE should be worn by staff who are intubating a
patient. Most anaesthetists dont wear a mask or eye protection though some
have been sensitised by undisclosed meningococcal sepsis cases etc.
My view is that gloves mask and eye protection are indicated as per std
prec. (Not withstanding, an anaesthetic colleague recently disputed this and
said that most patients being intubated are apnoeic at the time and
therefore not producing aerosols!). What have others put in place re
standard requirements? Has anyone got a stomach to take on the college ?
Or do people regard this as too low a risk (I dont).

HI Terry
It is unfortunate that common sense does not prevail and also unfortunate
that a reference is required to support what would appear to be such a
simple issue to resolve.I would support 100% that a fan in this area is not acceptable and will see
if I can find something as I am sure there is somewhereThanks

Hi everyone,
A facility has recently purchased a large wall mounted oscillating fan and
installed it in the area where the porters remake beds / trolleys and this
area is open to the recovery room.
I am concerned about disruption of the air flows and the potential risks
associated with blowing particulates [from linen used to make up the
trolleys] around the facility.
However I have been challenged to provide evidence that fans pose a risk of
infection and / or evidence that fans should not be used in this
environment.
A quick google search and review of ACORN Standards reveals little so I am
hoping someone else may have come across this issue and can provide some
assistance.
All feedback gratefully received.
Kind Regards

Thank you Mary-Louise for your response re Graves et al study and the
variances.The concerns of biased data reported for hand hygiene compliance is worth
noting and I too agree with your comments here.Costs associated with the efforts to report HH data as required which
detracts from some of the critical day to day requirements of the IC nurse
need further review.Thank you

+429071165Dear Ramon and Glenys
Graves et al study relies on the accuracy of the 2 pivotal variables: SAB
and hand hygiene compliance. The accuracy of the latter is serious limited.
Our report in the Medical Journal of Australia (Med J Aust 2014; 200
(9):534-537. http://dx.doi.org/10.5694/mja13.11203) concluded the HHA
program reports rates that have been biased upwards by very few high
performers.The conclusion from our findings and Graves et al is:
(1) SAB respond to multiple interventions and hand hygiene is only one of
these.
(2) hygiene compliance rates have not reached a tipping point to reduce SAB
and this tipping point is a long way off because
(3) the hand hygiene compliance rates are inaccurate.It is important to have a national HH program. But the expense of the
current program is too high when the cost of audits provides flawed data
that reinforces a misguided belief that our hospitals are performing HH
well.Mary-Louise

Without Prejudice
Dear Members
I was saddened to read the recent Press Release regarding the College’s
position on Children In Detention. In my 25 plus years as a member and once
President of AICA and as a 7 year board member and 2010 APIC President
alignment of a professional body with any non-infection prevention political
issue appears unprecedented.Regardless of where members stand personally on this contentious issue it is
arrogant and perhaps even incorrect for the President to assume unilateral
support of his position by all members.Further, whilst the AMA acts as the primary industrial relations agency for
medical practitioners and as such rightly has an opinion on this issue the
College purpose as stated in its Constitution makes no mention of political
commentary as a goal.Informally, I have canvassed views from at least two other senior College
members who are offended by the College’s action. I would request that in
future the Executive and College leadership do not assume members’ positions
on non infection prevention matters and instead focus solely on working
within the scope of the Constitution representing members well on infection
prevention matters.Regards

HI Jayne
The other thing to consider is why are they testing.
You can refer to the National HIV testing policy which clearly articulates
reasonable testing, but it is just not to cover their poor practice in the
event of a needle stick injury
