Protected Page: Surgical Skin Prep Skin Antisepsis and Draping with Errors Call OutsThis video depicts errors that can occur when performing skin antisepsis and draping for a surgical procedure. Use the callouts to discuss what the error is and what the appropriate action should be.https://youtu.be/1FqRr_YgqLw Procedure Skin Prep with Contamination Call OutThis video depicts the risk of doing improper skin prep in surgical services. https://youtu.be/zaWj8QtO4k0

Educational Module: Spot the Errors-CAUTI and CLABSI Edition Learn the importance of CAUTI and CLABSI prevention through these immersive activities identifying possible sources of contamination. The accompanying presentations will educate and train the eye to connect common errors to infection risks. Practice these simulated experiences to enrich your facility with knowledge to drive down CAUTI and CLABSI rates. At the end of this module, participants will be able to:CAUTI Prevention: Identify common errors in urinary catheter maintenance by analyzing photos that highlight potential sources of contamination.CLABSI Prevention: Evaluate infection risks associated with central line maintenance through visual identification of common mistakes in simulated clinical scenarios.The Kentucky Infection Prevention (KyIP) Training Center, located in Louisville, Kentucky, has developed the following content.

Educational Module: Surgical Site Infection (SSI) Surgical site infections are preventable, and preventative measures often occur before the incision is made. Dive into this presentation to enhance your knowledge of preventing surgical site infections. Simulations on skin prep, post-op wound contamination, and antiseptic product selection bring knowledge to application.By the end of this module, participants will be able to:Define surgical site infection (SSI)Discuss the significance of surgical site infections.Discuss the role of skin antisepsis in the surgical setting for the prevention of SSIs.Compare different skin antisepsis products and recommendations for use.Identify breaks in sterile techniques that can lead to SSIs.Identify patient risk factors that contribute to a higher incidence of SSI.Define the role of antibiotics in the context of antimicrobial prophylaxis.Identify factors affecting antibiotic choice.The Kentucky Infection Prevention (KyIP) Training…

Educational Module: Safe Injection Practice Learn the importance of safe injections practices to provide injections in a safe manner which protects the patient, healthcare worker, and others. In this presentation, elements of aseptic technique relating to injection practices are reviewed. Simulated experiences depict the key differences between multi-dose and single-dose vials.At the end of this Skill Station, participants will be able to:Review the basics of safe injection practices and their application to healthcareReview elements of aseptic technique relevant to injection practicesIdentify key differences between multi‐dose and single‐dose vials.Apply knowledge in practice to minimize risks and behaviors associated with unsafe injection practicesThe Kentucky Infection Prevention (KyIP) Training Center, located in Louisville, Kentucky, has developed the following content.

Educational Module: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Personal protective equipment (PPE) is designed to protect both the wearer and those around us. PPE includes: gloves, gowns, lab coats, face shields, masks, eye protection, and respirators. PPE may be used alone or in combination. Individuals wear PPE as a way to protect mucous membranes, skin, and clothing from contact with infectious agents or other hazards such as chemicals used in cleaning and disinfection (see chemical manufacturer’s recommendations for specific type of PPE). The selection of PPE is based on the nature of the patient/chemical contact and likely mode of transmission of the organism(s) involved. This module is intended to teach about the various types of PPE, as well as when and how to use them. The use of simulations throughout this presentation…

Educational Module: Hand Hygiene Hand hygiene serves as one the best methods for reducing the spread of infection. Simulated experiences in this presentation illustrate how our hands can spread pathogens and how hand hygiene reduces pathogen transmission. Elements of aseptic technique are reviewed and contrasted against clean technique.At the end of this module, participants will be able to:Identify methods of pathogen transmission by the hands of healthcare workers. Demonstrate opportunities to prevent pathogen transmission by appropriate hand hygiene practices.Review elements of aseptic technique important in prevention of transmission of pathogens.Differentiate between clean and aseptic technique.The Kentucky Infection Prevention (KyIP) Training Center, located in Louisville, Kentucky, has developed the following content. As a collaborator with the CDC’s Project Firstline, KyIP Training Center is committed to providing cutting-edge and high-quality training and information…
