IMPORTANCE: Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are associated with increased patient morbidity and mortality. It is unknown whether wearing gloves and gowns for all patient contact in the intensive care unit (ICU) decreases acquisition of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. OBJECTIVE: To assess whether wearing gloves and gowns for all patient contact in the ICU decreases acquisition of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) compared with usual care. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Cluster-randomized trial in 20 medical and surgical ICUs in 20 US hospitals from January 4, 2012, to October 4, 2012. INTERVENTIONS: In the intervention ICUs, all health care workers were required to wear gloves and gowns for all patient contact and when entering any patient room. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: The primary outcome was acquisition of MRSA or VRE based on surveillance cultures collected on admission and discharge from the ICU. Secondary outcomes included individual VRE acquisition, MRSA acquisition, frequency of health care worker visits, hand hygiene compliance, health care-associated infections, and adverse events. RESULTS: From the 26,180 patients included, 92,241 swabs were collected for the primary outcome. Intervention ICUs had a decrease in the primary outcome of MRSA or VRE from 21.35 acquisitions per 1000 patient-days (95% CI, 17.57 to 25.94) in the baseline period to 16.91 acquisitions per 1000 patient-days (95% CI, 14.09 to 20.28) in the study period, whereas control ICUs had a decrease in MRSA or VRE from 19.02 acquisitions per 1000 patient-days (95% CI, 14.20 to 25.49) in the baseline period to 16.29 acquisitions per 1000 patient-days (95% CI, 13.48 to 19.68) in the study period, a difference in changes that was not statistically significant (difference, -1.71 acquisitions per 1000 person-days, 95% CI, -6.15 to 2.73; P = .57). For key secondary outcomes, there was no difference in VRE acquisition with the intervention (difference, 0.89 acquisitions per 1000 person-days; 95% CI, -4.27 to 6.04, P = .70), whereas for MRSA, there were fewer acquisitions with the intervention (difference, -2.98 acquisitions per 1000 person-days; 95% CI, -5.58 to -0.38; P = .046). Universal glove and gown use also decreased health care worker room entry (4.28 vs 5.24 entries per hour, difference, -0.96; 95% CI, -1.71 to -0.21, P = .02), increased room-exit hand hygiene compliance (78.3% vs 62.9%, difference, 15.4%; 95% CI, 8.99% to 21.8%; P = .02) and had no statistically significant effect on rates of adverse events (58.7 events per 1000 patient days vs 74.4 events per 1000 patient days; difference, -15.7; 95% CI, -40.7 to 9.2, P = .24). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: The use of gloves and gowns for all patient contact compared with usual care among patients in medical and surgical ICUs did not result in a difference in the primary outcome of acquisition of MRSA or VRE. Although there was a lower risk of MRSA acquisition alone and no difference in adverse events, these secondary outcomes require replication before reaching definitive conclusions. TRIAL REGISTRATION: clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT0131821. (+info)Surgical attire refers to the clothing and accessories worn by surgical team members during operative procedures, designed to minimize the risk of infection and contamination. The components of standard surgical attire typically include:
1. Scrubs: A lightweight, loose-fitting two-piece outfit consisting of a short-sleeved shirt and drawstring pants, made from a comfortable, easy-to-clean fabric like cotton or polyester.
2. Surgical cap or bouffant: A head covering that completely covers the hair and ears to prevent stray hairs from falling into the sterile field during surgery.
3. Face mask: A disposable mask that covers the nose and mouth, preventing respiratory droplets from the surgical team from entering the sterile field and reducing the risk of airborne pathogen transmission.
4. Protective eyewear or face shield: Clear protective eyewear worn over prescription glasses or as an alternative to masks, providing a barrier against splashes, sprays, and droplets during surgery.
5. Sterile gloves: Single-use gloves that are donned after the surgical hand scrub and gowning process, ensuring sterility for the duration of the procedure.
6. Surgical gown: A fluid-resistant garment worn over the scrubs to protect both the wearer and the patient from potential contamination during surgery. The gown is typically made from a breathable material like polypropylene or polyester, with long sleeves and a tie closure at the back.
7. Shoe covers: Disposable coverings for street shoes, worn to maintain cleanliness in the operating room and prevent tracking in dirt or debris.
The specific components of surgical attire may vary depending on institutional policies and the nature of the procedure being performed. The primary goal is to create a safe, sterile environment that minimizes the risk of infection for both patients and medical professionals.
Clothing is not a medical term, but rather a general term used to describe items worn on the body for various reasons such as protection from the elements, modesty, or fashion. In a medical context, clothing may be referred to in relation to certain conditions or treatments that require special garments, such as compression stockings for deep vein thrombosis or protective gear for athletes. However, there is no specific medical definition for 'clothing'.
Protective clothing refers to specialized garments worn by healthcare professionals, first responders, or workers in various industries to protect themselves from potential hazards that could cause harm to their bodies. These hazards may include biological agents (such as viruses or bacteria), chemicals, radiological particles, physical injuries, or extreme temperatures.
Examples of protective clothing include:
1. Medical/isolation gowns: Fluid-resistant garments worn by healthcare workers during medical procedures to protect against the spread of infectious diseases.
2. Lab coats: Protective garments typically worn in laboratories to shield the wearer's skin and clothing from potential chemical or biological exposure.
3. Coveralls: One-piece garments that cover the entire body, often used in industries with high exposure risks, such as chemical manufacturing or construction.
4. Gloves: Protective hand coverings made of materials like latex, nitrile, or vinyl, which prevent direct contact with hazardous substances.
5. Face masks and respirators: Devices worn over the nose and mouth to filter out airborne particles, protecting the wearer from inhaling harmful substances.
6. Helmets and face shields: Protective headgear used in various industries to prevent physical injuries from falling objects or impact.
7. Fire-resistant clothing: Specialized garments worn by firefighters and those working with high temperatures or open flames to protect against burns and heat exposure.
The choice of protective clothing depends on the specific hazards present in the work environment, as well as the nature and duration of potential exposures. Proper use, maintenance, and training are essential for ensuring the effectiveness of protective clothing in minimizing risks and maintaining worker safety.
Patient preference, in the context of medical decision-making, refers to the individual desires, values, and concerns that a patient considers when choosing between different treatment options. It is based on the patient's own experiences, beliefs, and needs, and may take into account factors such as potential benefits, risks, side effects, costs, and convenience. Patient preferences should be respected and integrated into clinical decision-making processes whenever possible, in order to promote patient-centered care and improve outcomes.
