2. Stand comfortably at the right side ofthe mother's bed.
3. Do fundal massage with one of your
hands while the other gloved handlower the perineal pad ; so that youcan determine the type ;odor;consistency and amount of lochia flow.
4. Ask the woman since how many hoursshe changed her perineal pad.
5. Observed the amount of lochia in the
pad. Conceder the lochia scanty if isless than 10ml /hourly; small or mild ifit is from 10 25 hourly; moderatefrom 25 50 ml hourly and large orsever if the perineal pad is hourlysaturated.
6. Assess the fundal level , position, size
and consistency first then do massageas needed
7. Support the uterus by cupping onehand against the lower uterinesegment (just above the symphysispubis )
8. Gently use the side of the other
cupped hand to determine the locationof fundus uteri between umbilicusand symphysis pubis
9. Measure by finger breadth how far thefundus from the umbilicus

Post Procedure Tasks
1. Remove gloves by turning them insideout , dispose them and wash hands
2. Inform the woman about the findingsand record it accurately in thewoman's file.
3. Help the woman to readjust her
clothes and to have any comfortableposition.
INTRODUCTION:
- After delivery of the placenta, theuterus normally contracts firmly, closingoff the open blood vessels whichpreviously supplied the placenta. Withoutthis contraction, rapid blood loss wouldlikely prove very problematic or worse.- A simple way to encourage firmuterine contraction is with uterinemassage. The fundus of the uterus (top
-
8/8/2019 Skill Training
9/35
portion) is vigorously massaged to keepit the consistency of a tightened thighmuscle. If it is flabby, the patient will
likely continue to bleed- Uterine massage given every 10minutes for 60 minutes after birtheffectively reduced blood loss, and theneed for additional uterotonics, by some80%. The number of women losing morethan 500 ml of blood also appeared to be
halved. Two women in the control groupand none in the uterine massage groupneeded blood transfusions.
OBJECTIVES:
- To determine the effectiveness ofuterine massage after birth and before orafter delivery of the placenta, or both, toreduce postpartum blood loss andassociated morbidity and mortality.

Did You Know.1 About 220,000 Canadians (or one patient in nine) admitted to ahospital every year pick up healthcare associated infections (HAI) as aconsequence of their hospital stay?
-
8/8/2019 Skill Training
17/35
1 8,000 patients die annually from those infections (about the samenumber annually as the number of deaths from breast cancer and motorvehicle accidents).
1 Most healthcare facilities report less than 50% adherence to handhygiene.
1 The evidence supporting hand hygiene with soap and water oralcohol-based hand rub is nothing short of overwhelming.BUTit is notthe only answer. What is needed is a multi-faceted approach.
1 15 seconds: thats all the time thats needed to destroy almost allpotentially harmful microorganisms using a squirt of alcohol-based handrub and rubbing it into your hands until they are dry.
1 Healthcare associated infections (HAI) were the eleventh leadingcause of death two decades ago but are now the fourth leading cause of
death in Canadians after cancer, heart disease and stroke.
1 While most healthcare providers believe they are already practicingappropriate hand hygiene, one Canadian study found actual compliancewas less than 40%.

Recognized communicable disease;
Known carrier of an epidemic strain ofbacterium;
Isolation: Patients suspected or known tohave communicable
diseases should be admitted directly toan isolation cubicle in the ICU or referred to a Fever Hospital.
II- Hand hygiene:
Hands are the most common vehicle oftransmission of organisms and thereforesinks should be provided for handwashing. All visitors and staff should wash theirhands before direct contact with patients.
Aseptic hand wash or alcohol based hand
rub should be performed:-Before entering the ICU.- Before performing any invasive
procedure including peripheralcannula Insertion and removal.
- Before use of multi dose vials.- Before administration of iv fluids or
medications/drugs-Routine hand wash should be performed:-Before and after any contact with the
patient-After touching environmental surfaces-Whenever soiled.

B) Respiratory care - Patient-Based
Interventions. C) Personal protective equipment forroutine patient care.
A) IV care practices Clean injection ports with 70% alcohol oran iodophor before accessing the system.
Cap all stopcocks when not in use. Use aseptic technique including a cap,mask, sterile gown, sterile gloves, and alarge sterile sheet for the insertion ofcentral venous catheters (including PICCs)or guide wire exchange. Do not routinely replace central venous
catheters, hem dialysis catheters, orpulmonary artery catheters. Do not remove CVCs or PICCs on thebasis of fever alone. Use clinical judgment regarding theappropriateness of removing the catheterif infection is evidenced elsewhere or if a
noninfectious cause of fever is suspected.Do not routinely replace peripheralarterial catheters.
B) Respiratory care - Patient-Based
Interventions:

23/35
If there is no medical contraindication,elevate the head of the bed of a patient athigh risk for aspiration pneumonia, e.g., a
person receiving mechanically assistedventilation and/or who has an eternal tubein place, at an angle of 30-45 degrees. Periodically drain and discard anycondensate that collects in the tubing of amechanical ventilator, taking precautionsnot to allow condensate to drain toward
the patient. Decontaminate hands with soap andwater or a waterless antiseptic agent afterperforming the procedure or afterhandling the fluid. If available, use an endotracheal tubewith a dorsal lumen above the
endotracheal cuff to allow drainage (bycontinuous suctioning) of trachealsecretions that accumulate in the patient'ssubglottic area. Use sucralfate, H2-blockers, , , and/orantacids interchangeably for stress-bleeding prophylaxis in a patient receiving
mechanically assisted ventilation (H2-blockers alone decrease gastric acidityand increase gastric colonization andincreases the susceptibility to respiratoryinfections). Instruct preoperative patients, especiallythose at high risk of contractingpneumonia, regarding taking deep breaths

and ambulating as soon as medicallyindicated in the postoperative period. High-risk patients include those who will
have an abdominal, thoracic, head, orneck operation Follow manufacturers' instructionsmanufacturers for use and maintenance ofwall oxygen humidifiers . Between patients, change the tubing,including any nasal prongs or mask used
to deliver oxygen from a wall outlet. Small-volume medication nebulizers: "in-line" and hand-held nebulizers: Betweentreatments on the same patient, disinfect;rinse with sterile or pasteurized water; andair-dry small-volume in-line or hand-heldmedication nebulizers or who have
substantial pulmonary dysfunction. Use only sterile or pasteurized fluid fornebulization and dispense the fluid intothe nebulizer aseptically. If multidose medication vials are used,then handle, dispense, and store themaccording to manufacturers' instructions
using sterile techniques.

Non-ICU Staff
I- SpaceBeds
-
8/8/2019 Skill Training
27/35
The beds should be 2 5 -3 meters (7-9 feet) apart to allow free movementof staff and equipment, reducing risk
of cross contamination. Ideally, a sharps container shouldbe within easy access of each bed.
PartitionsPrivacy partitions should be ofmaterial that is easily cleaned and
should be cleaned weekly and anytime that it becomes soiled orcontaminated. If curtains are used,they should be changed weekly andbetween patients.
Toilets
May be located outside the ICU.Medication preparation
Medication prep areas should beseparate from patient care areas andshould be maintained as a clean area.
Clean storageAn area should be identified and
maintained for clean storage andshould be separate from care andwaste disposal areas.
Soiled and waste storageAn area should be identified forstoring collected bedside waste andshould be maintained separate from
direct care and clean medication

areas. Ideally, this area should have aclinical sink for the disposal of bloodand body fluid waste. The area should
include storage of filled sharpscontainers until these containers canbe removed.
II- VentilationType
The source of clean air should be
determined including central orthrough the wall through-airconditioning units.
WindowsWindows should remain closed inorder to control all airborne risks;plants and flowers should be kept
outside the ICU.
Sinks and Waterless Hand rub DispensersSinks should be placed near the ICUentrance and If this is not feasible,waterless hand rub dispensers shouldbe available at the ICU entrance and
at each bedside. If the design permitsscrub sinks.An adequate number of easilyaccessible Elbow/Foot operated sinksshould be available. Sinks should notbe plugged or used for storage.Sinks assigned for hand washing
should not be using for washinginstruments.

III- Traffic flowThe unit may be situated close to the
operating theatre and to the emergencydepartment for accessibility, but should beseparate from the main ward areas. Policies should consider controlling trafficflow to and from the unit in order toreduce sources of contamination fromvisitors, staff and equipment.
IV- Visitors Design of the unit should permit staff toassess visitors for communicable disease(eg, rash, respiratory infection) beforepermitted to enter unit.They should be instructed in washing
their hands if assisting the patient.
V- Non-ICU StaffStaff not assigned to the ICU should follow thefollowing protocol:
Street coats and white coats must beremoved;

Reprocessing Method
1. Ventilator circuits Ventilator Disposable tubingdoes not routinely need to bechanged for a single circuits
patient unless it becomesvisibly contaminated,malfunctions or within 3-4
days.Multiple-use tubing must beheat-disinfected for a at least76C for 30 minutes orsterilized
If properly maintained, aventilated patient may use
the same circuit for 3-4 daysbefore reprocessing becomesnecessary.
Use a heat-moistureexchanger (HME) to preventpneumonia in a patientreceiving mechanically
assisted ventilation. Changethe HME when it malfunctionsmechanically or becomesvisibly soiled.
Do not routinely change anHME more frequently thanevery 48 hours.
Install filters, e.g. heat-

moisture exchangers withfilters (HMEF) on theexpiratory and in spiratory
ends of the ventilator toprevent contamination
Endotrachealsuction catheters
Closed suction catheters thatincorporate a protectivesleeve do not need to bechanged every 24 hours.Studies have demonstrated
these can safely be used onthe same patient until thedevice is contaminated ormalfunctions.
More often, disposablesuction catheters are used forrespiratory tract suctioning.
This device should bediscarded after each use ormay be used maximum for upto 6 hours on the samepatient.
The water used for flushingthe catheter after each
suction must be sterile andchanged every time.
Suction catheters must notbe shared between patients.
3. Endotracheal tubes These may be recycled afterthorough cleaning andautoclaving tubes

Disposable endotrachealtubes are available but aremore expensive
thanrecyclable ones.4. Ambu-bags These are used for
resuscitation. Ambu-bags areextremely difficult to disinfectand become contaminatedvery quickly:
Heat is the most reliable
method of disinfection; 2%glutaraldehyde is a lessacceptable method.
The bags must be rinsedthoroughly in sterile waterafter immersion inglutaraldehyde. This will
reduce the risk of chemicalirritation, which can itselfprecipitate respiratoryinfection.
5. Oxygendelivery masks
These can be disposable orreusable;
oWash thoroughly.
oSoak in alcohol for10 minutes or soak inchlorine (500 ppm),rinse, dry and store.
6. Suction anddrainage bottles
These are usually disposable,with a self-sealing innercontainer held in a clear plastic
