Background

Infection prevention and control (IPC) is essential for quality healthcare, with healthcare associated infections (HAI) a known risk to patients requiring medical imaging (MI). To date, few papers have adopted a national approach to understanding or benchmarking the knowledge of, attitudes toward, and practice (KAP) of IPC in the context of MI and no validated surveys or scales are identified in the literature. The Computed Tomography (CT) suite is a unique MI environment where radiographers deliver prescription medicines to patients via intravenous (IV) means through an injector system. This paper describes the development of a survey that informs the use of IPC processes in the CT suite.

Methods

Standard Precautions via current national guidelines formed the benchmark of the survey, with a KAP survey used as the framework to explore IPC. The questions and associated responses are developed based on the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) guidelines, industry/professional protocols and adapted to the equipment and practices commonly used in the CT suite of MI departments by radiographers and nurses.

Results

Key survey development steps are described to include the justification of the benchmarking source, the survey framework and design. Detailed information is given to show the evolution of truth statements and sources, KAP question variations, and rationales for the methodology of question responses. National guidelines are mapped to survey questions and responses and pilot testing reflections are included.

Conclusion

This paper reports on the construction of a standardised KAP survey for IPC specific to the CT suite in the Australian healthcare setting. The survey is ready for dissemination amongst MI departments. Documented use will aid validation and reliability as a survey tool to measure and map IPC specifically in relation to IV contrast administration.

背景：感染预防和控制（IPC）对高质量的医疗保健至关重要，医疗保健相关感染（HAI）是需要医学成像（MI）的患者的已知风险。到目前为止，很少有论文采用国家方法来理解或衡量MI背景下IPC的知识、态度和实践（KAP），文献中也没有确定经过验证的调查或量表。计算机断层扫描（CT）套件是一种独特的MI环境，放射技师通过注射器系统通过静脉注射（IV）方式向患者提供处方药。本文描述了一项调查的发展，该调查为CT套件中IPC过程的使用提供了信息。方法：通过现行国家指南制定的标准预防措施构成了调查的基准，KAP调查作为探索IPC的框架。这些问题和相关回答是根据国家卫生和医学研究委员会（NHMRC）指南、行业/专业协议制定的，并适用于放射技师和护士在MI部门CT套件中常用的设备和实践。结果：描述了关键的调查开发步骤，包括基准来源的理由、调查框架和设计。详细信息显示了真相陈述和来源的演变、KAP问题的变化以及问题回答方法的理由。将国家指导方针映射到调查问题和回答中，并包括试点测试反思。结论：本文报告了在澳大利亚医疗环境中针对CT套件的IPC的标准化KAP调查的构建。该调查已准备好在MI各部门中传播。记录在案的使用将有助于验证和可靠性，作为测量和绘制IPC的调查工具，特别是与静脉造影剂给药有关的IPC。

Background

To describe the new Royal Adelaide Hospital (RAH) design and infrastructure features that helped mitigate the risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission within the hospital during the pre-vaccination and pre-antiviral period.

Method

The RAH infrastructure, design and initial pandemic response was assessed. A retrospective review of all confirmed or suspected coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients admitted from 1 February 2020 to 30 May 2020 was also performed to assess risk of transmission. Outbreak response reports were reviewed to identify episodes of nosocomial COVID-19.

Results

Key infrastructure features include single-bed overnight rooms with dedicated bathrooms, creation of pandemic areas accessible only to pandemic staff, and sophisticated air-handling units with improved ventilation. A total of 264 COVID-19 related admission occurred, with 113 confirmed cases and 1579 total cumulative bed days. Despite a limited understanding of SARS-CoV-2 transmission, no vaccination or anti-viral therapy, global shortages of particulate filter respirators and restricted testing during this period, only one probable nosocomial COVID-19 case occurred in a healthcare worker, with no nosocomial cases involving patients.

Conclusions

The RAH design and pandemic features complimented existing infection control interventions and was important in limiting nosocomial spread of SARS-CoV-2.

背景：描述新的皇家阿德莱德医院（RAH）的设计和基础设施特点，这些设计和特点有助于降低疫苗接种前和抗病毒前期间医院内严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2型（严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒）传播的风险。方法：对RAH的基础设施、设计和最初的疫情应对进行评估。还对2020年2月1日至2020年5月30日收治的所有确诊或疑似2019冠状病毒病（新冠肺炎）患者进行了回顾性审查，以评估传播风险。对疫情应对报告进行了审查，以确定医院内新冠肺炎的发作情况。结果：关键的基础设施特点包括带专用浴室的单人房、创建仅限大流行工作人员进入的大流行区域，以及改进通风的精密空气处理装置。共有264例新冠肺炎相关入院病例，确诊病例113例，累计床位1579天。尽管对严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒2型传播的了解有限，没有疫苗接种或抗病毒治疗，全球颗粒过滤器呼吸器短缺，在此期间检测受限，但只有一名医护人员出现了一例可能的新冠肺炎医院病例，没有涉及患者的医院病例。结论：RAH的设计和流行病特征补充了现有的感染控制干预措施，对限制严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒2型的医院传播很重要。
