Assessment of Infection control in the Departments Of Nuclear Medicine

Abstract 

Concern about the spread of infections in the hospital setting has prompted regulatory agencies to mandate infection control standards. Each hospital department is required to have written policies and procedures which describe measures to prevent and control the spread of infections (hospital acquired infections), along with quality assurance programs to assure that procedures are followed. The Department of Nuclear Medicine, as other departments, should have procedures which address special precautions for the prevention of infections. This article will focus on a new approach to prevent infections, guidelines for handling patients and contaminated equipment, and the importance of quality assurance activities to monitor compliance to established standards. An opening discussion to assess the infection control in the departments of N.M and check the contamination level in the departments by culturing samples from air and surface inside the departments of nuclear medicine.
