hospital Flashcards
Hygienic requirements of the hospital is divided into
common - valid for all hospital
special- valid for only some hospitals
optimal numbers of beds in a hopsital division
25
but chronic can be up to 40
requiremnts for hospital rooms
Rooms facing south of Southeast
no more than four beds in one room and distances between beds and no less than 0.8 m
floor must be easy to clean
4- 12 square meteres for one bed
walls light colours
ventillation
air is considered clean if 1 cubic metre comntains less than 3,500 organims. no more than 24 staphylocci and no more than 16 b hemoltic strep
main sources of air pollution
chemicals for the cleaning prodcuts
chemicals from builind materials
procuts of metabolism >70
heating
central heating
radiation heating -
higher/lower recommend in certain diseases
lwer- graves
lower- hypothyroidism, mental disorders
heating
central heating
radiation heating - temp over the radiator should be no more than 75 degrees
higher/lower recommend in certain diseases
lwer- graves
lower- hypothyroidism, mental disorders
lighting
natural or electric
coefficient of natural lighting should be no less than 1.5%
common lighting must be indirect and not too hard
water supply
hospital must have a central water supply to 250-300l/24 per 1 hospital bed
operation room
room facing north
floorinh - no less than 40 m 2 and heigjt 3 m
optimum lighting
air temp 22-26
we allow for a higher humidity ( 50-60% )
ventilation - with double water filters
uv radiation lamps during the night and 2 h before operation
operating room is usually under psotive pressure relative to surrounding
different systems of hospital
- decentralized - every clinic in separate building (BETTER FOR NON SOCOMIOL INFECTIONS)
- centralised - used for lager hospitals
3.mixed
whats obligatory for hospitals
to have a hospital park as it promotes a good microclimate and reduces nOISE AND AIR POLLUTION
what are the indicators of air quality in hopsitals
co2 is not a sufficient indicator of air quality the microorganisms in the air are
modern operating rooms
they are virtually freee ar epatricles larger than 0.5 micro metres when no people are in the room
list hospitals with high epeidemioligcial risk
- infectious disease
- TB
- peds
- psychiatric
5.maternal
infectious disease hospital
- best to have a decentralised system
- disinfection done after every patient
- separate. entrances and exits
medical staff NOT ALLOWS
- sit on beds of patients
- wear their lab coats outside
- tae food to patents rooms
- visiting rates are reduced
TB
most of patients room should be 1 bed (unlike 4 in normal room)
- patients room facing south with green plants, good ventilation, uv lamps for disinfection
- classroom for children are required
peds
like tb most rooms with 1 bed
- separate kids in regard to age, severity of disease,
- mothers must be in separate rooms
- if child has chronic disease should be rooms for classroom
- children aged 2 years should be in isolation rooms
psych
- excited patients must be isolated
- the facility should not willingly leave things out for suicide, pens, keys
- elimination of all jumping opportunities
- elimate door knobs and handles
- to be able to have access to patients room in emergency
maternal
should be in a separate from other hospitals
- a reception in the predelivery room
- delivery room should have 1 or 2 beds
- should be post delivery rooms (should be close to mother rooms) or mother and baby in 1 room (but no more than 2 couples)
isolation of patients levels
the strictest - hemmorgaic fever and diptheria
less stringent is like tb , infectious diarrhea
types of isolation
source isolation - protecting the infected from infecting others
protective isolation - protecting the susceptible
the methods of physical protection
- barrier nursing - special nursing procedures which reduce risk
- mechanical ventilation - remove bacteria from patients room
- segregation - so basically isolating them
typical isolation room suite
room with attached ensuite and an anteroom
classification of isolation rooms
class s - standard pressure room
class n- negative pressure room
class p - postive pressure room - to isolate profoundly immunocomparimised patients to create a ‘protective environment’ t protect the susceptible
non socomial infections
can occur everywhere but those at risks are surgery, urology ward, obstetric, peds . they have high epidemiological risk
