Temporary cardiac pacing plays a critical role in saving lives, but the cables that connect these systems can quietly introduce risk if not managed correctly. As infection prevention standards grow more strict, healthcare providers are shifting toward disposable pacing cables that remove the uncertainty of reprocessing and ensure consistent, single-use ...

Therefore, every project must be considered for its potential health impacts.To manage this risk, Frankford has developed procedures for infection control during construction projects. These include: 1) regular meetings of a construction management team, 2) standardized risk assessments for building projects, 3) ongoing infection control training ...
AbstractThe ventilation system of an operating theatre (OT) in a hospital needs to provide a comfortable and healthy surgical environment, particularly to minimise the risk of airborne infection. Engineering standards are available to outline specialised ventilation design and installation requirements based on knowledge accumulated from quality research and ...
