Known as policy control in patients likely or hard of infection asisolation precautions. The system consists of two categories of isolation precautions:
The first is a normal or standard precautions for infection control and care for all patients regardless of their likelihood of diseaseor infection.
The second depends on how the transmission of infectiouscarriers of pathogens. The availability of this method of infection control precautions that should be applied to patients known or potentially infected patients with or colonies of microbes that cause infectious diseases that are of significance and epidemiology.Involves the second category of reserves into several categories according to the nature of the spread of infection (such as:contact "directly or indirectly", the spray, air, or through an intermediate host).
It is important to emphasize that some microbes microscopicmove more than one way, and then you can follow more than one category of special precautions to separate the source of infection, and in such cases should seek advice from a team of infection control and follow the precautions of separation must beamended in accordance with the requirements of the place.
The following points are common to all categories of isolation precautions:
• should be separated all patients infected or suspected infectedinfected the rest of the patients, and if there is no separate room,ask for help from a team of infection control for accommodationof patients, which may suggest the need for nursing patients in the wards open, provided that is executed special precautionsvery carefully, but that is less favorable solutions available. The presence of the patient at the end of the amber basin next tohand washing would reduce congestion and to attract the attention of the nursing staff of the importance of clean hands. If there is more of an infected person (eg, as in the case of apandemic infection by microbes), in which case the patient is collected in one area or one ward and their care team are nursingtheir own alone. In some other cases, you may prefer that theinfection control team is put infected patients or microbialcolonies with other patients who are not treated with devices thatpenetrate the body, such as urinary catheters or those who haverecent surgical cuts.
• Visitors should be asked permission for a visit, nurses, officials,such as entering a room isolated the patient to be informed of the instructions to be followed such as wearing protective clothing and other instructions such as cleaning hands.
• must be based workers to care for these patients wash their hands immediately after leaving the patient room to prevent the spread of the disease-causing microbes to other patients or to the environment.
• prefer to deal with the nursing staff infected patients in isolatedplaces after the completion of the deal with the other patients.
• If the equipment, and tools common among patients, it must beproperly cleaned and disinfected or sterilized (by level of severity)such as properly used with other patients.
• should be cleaning the room after the departure of the patient from the hospital.
• it is important to take into account the psychological dimensionto isolate patients, and then must discuss one of the members of the Infection Control team with the patient and his family, havebothered.

Protective clothing
Recommends wearing protective clothing for health serviceperformer to prevent transmission of infection by microbes and to reduce the likelihood of contamination of their clothing (for moreinformation, please see the section "PPE").
Procedures or standard precautions
Necessitate the need for commitment to standard precautionswhen patient care in health facilities to reduce the transmission of infectious diseases and nosocomial infection, and it must followthe precautions to be part of the practice with all patients at all levels of health care. Before starting to follow the policies and procedures of long and complex special infection control, should be applied six procedures set forth in the following table in all the units to reduce the likelihood of transmission to staff or patients.
The first of the tasks that had the responsibility of the infection control team is to evaluate these measures, if were not up to therequired level, you need to take the necessary steps to comply with these procedures and their application.
