ORDER OF CHAIN OF INFECTION
INFECTIOUS AGENT, RESERVOIR, PORTAL OF EXIT, MODE OF TRANSMISSION, PORTAL OF ENTRY, SUSCEPTIBLE HOST
- Causative agent.
- Can be any disease causing microorganism or pathogen.
- Can be bacteria, virus, fungi or parasite
- It is located in the reservoir
INFECTIOUS AGENT
- Where microorganism normally lives and reproduces
- Habitat where reagent commonly lives, grows and multiplies
- May/may not be source from which reagent is transferred to a host
RESERVOIR
- Route of escape of the pathogen coming from reservoir
- Path na tutunguhin to leave its host
PORTAL OF EXIT
T OR F. portal of exit corresponds with side opposite of where pathogen is glutanized
FALSE.- Usually corresponds with the side where pathogen is glutanized
Once the organism/infectious agent is liberated from reservoir towards the portal of exit, it can now be transmitted by
way of route of transmission
MODES OF TRANSMISSION
- Can be: direct and indirect
- Direct
Direct contact
droplet spread - Indirect
Airborne
Vehicle borne
Vector borne
- In direct transmission, an infectious agent is transferred from a reservoir to a susceptible host by direct contact or droplet spread.
DIRECT
- occurs through skin to skin contact, kissing and sexual intercourse
- also direct contact with soil or vegetation harbouring organisms
DIRECT CONTACT
- refers to spray with relatively large, short-range aerosols produced by sneezing, couging or even talking
- b
DROPLET SPREAD
SIZE NG DROPLET
- More than 5 microns size of droplet
close contact with infected person (atleast 3 ft) droplets will land directly in mucous membrane (eyes, nose. mouth) of susceptible person
o Grounded transmission
- Transfer of infectious agent from reservoir to host through suspended air particles, inanimate object (food or water) , animate intermediary fly vectors
INDIRECT
- occurs when infectious agents are carried by dust or droplet nuclei suspended in air
AIRBORNE
- includes material that has settled on surfaces and becomes resuspended in aircurrents as well as infectious particles blown from the soil by the wind
airborne dusts
- dried droplet residue SIZE
<5 microns in size
- may remain suspended in the air for long periods of time and may be blown over great distances.
AIRBORNE
- yung mga airborne dust particles or airborne droplet to kaya magaan meaning pwede siya long distance.
Dehydrated particles
- through food, waterm biologic products(blood), fomites (inanimate objects)
VEHICLEBORNE
- through food, waterm biologic products(blood), fomites (inanimate objects)
VEHICLEBORNE
- pwedeng magprovide siya ng environment in which agent grows, multiplies or produces toxins
- may passively carry a pathogen
- purely mechanical because food/water may not support growth and changes in the agent
VEHICLE-BORNE
- Mosquitos, fleas or ticks
VECTOR BORNE
2 TYPE OF VECTOR
Can be mechanical or biological vectors
dadalin bacteria from one host to infected to tas dadalin niya lang agent. No changes in agent.
o Mechanical vectors
o = causative agent undergoes maturation in intermediate host/in mosquito before it can be transmitted to another susceptible host
Biological vector
- Route through which pathogen can enter new host
PORTAL OF EXIT
- Must provide access to tissues in which pathogen can multiply and toxins to release
PORTAL OF EXIT
- Person who cen get sick when they are exposed to a disease causing pathogen
SUSCEPTIBLE HOST
WHAT TYPE OF PRECAUTION?
- PATIENT PLACEMENT
- PPE (MASK N95)
- LIMIT TRANSPORT AND MOVEMENT OF PATIENT
- USE DISPOSABLE EQUIPMENT
- PRIORITISE CLEANING AND DISINFECTION OF THE ROOM
- NO NEED FOR MASK
DIRECT

- NO NEED FOR MASK
DIRECT
- Mask
- Proper patient placement
- Limit transoport and movement of pateint
DROPLET PRECAUTION
- Halos kapareho ng sa droplet pero need ng isolation room
- Proper patient placement in a proper airborne isolation room
- Suscpetible heathcare personnel restricted

- Four components, present at the same time, are necessary for fire to occur.
FUEL (COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL)
HEAT
OXYGEN
CHEMICAL REACTION
fires occur with ordinary combustible materials, such as wood, papers, or clothing, and require water or water-based solutions to cool or quench the fire to extinguish it.
CLASS A
fires occur with flammable liquids and vapors, such as paint, oil, grease, or gasoline, and require blocking the source of oxygen or smothering the fuel to extinguish.
Class B
fires occur with electrical equipment and require non conducting agents to extinguish
CLASS C
fires occur with combustible or reactive metals, such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, and lithium, and require dry powder agents or sand to extinguish (they are the most difficult fires to control and frequently lead to explosions).
Class D
- fires occur with high-temperature cooking oils, grease, or fats and require agents that prevent
Class K
FIRE EXTINGUISHER THAT IS BEST LEFT TO FIREFIGHTERS
CLASS D
- are the type most frequently used in healthcare institutions.
Multipurpose FIRE extinguishers
extinguishers use soda and acid or water to cool the fire.
class a
extinguishers use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide to smother the fire.
class b
extinguishers use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, halon, or other nonconducting agents to smother the fire.
Class C
(multipurpose) extinguishers use dry chemical reagents to smother the fire. They can be used on class A, B, and C fires.
Class ABC
extinguishers use a potassium-based alkaline liquid specifically formulated to fight high-temperature grease, oil, or fat fires by cooling and smothering them without splashing. Some class K extinguishers can also be used on class A, B, and C fires

o Stretching of arteries also cause
blood pressure.
= Stretching phase (top number)
= nadederive when our heart contracts and blood pressure rises and blood moves out along the vessels
systolic pressure
= relaxation phase (bottom number)
= Heart relaxes, blood pressure falls and blood fills the heart
