Needleless IV Ports to Patients and CareGivers
February 4th, 2011 | 
Author: Talking about health and the health care protection, well they are too general topics. But, it will become the point if I mention Needleless IV ports. Maybe you need more information about this, the function and the role to the hospital protection including for the patients and the caregivers, and still many others.
Needleless IV port is easier to clean and disinfected. With the traditional needle based IV ports, pathogens and bacteria can build up on the port surface. And Needleless IV ports help prevents hospital acquired infection that maybe present from entering the bloodstream. There are many functions of Needleless IV ports in medicine, for the patient needleless IV ports will give the protection, for the doctors, the nurses that very possible infected.
To safe and give the protection for the patient and the care givers are really important and need to attention. The hospital needs the hygienist and the place that there are no bacteria and the infected. Needles IV Port needed as the infection control procedures and will give the protection both for patients and care givers from hospital acquired infections. The holistic control system, Needleless IV port can have the huge impact on the health care.

Virus Versus Bacteria - a New Way to Stamp Out Hospital Superbugs
How can you kill a superbug? Some types of bacteria such as MRSA lurk, hospitals and are resistant to drugs. Among the different types of “superbugs” MRSA is the most common. MRSA is resistant to different antibiotics, including penicillin and drugs such as penicillin. This type of bacteria is harmless to the body penetrates, can cause several side effects. VIRUS VS SUPERBUGResearchers test the effectiveness of certain viruses to kill bacteria that are resistant to drugs. aureu a type of Staphylococcus bacteria that can cause various symptoms known, including: ? € ? ? ? ? meningitis ? € ? ? ? ? pneumonia ? € ? ? ? ? skin wounds ? € ? ? ? ? syndromeAlso toxic shock as “Staph “This type of bacteria infected each year about half a million patients in hospitals in the United States! MRSA is the so-called” super “, which is almost 300% more dangerous than other types of resistant bacteria drugs. A group of researchers in Italy is to test the effectiveness of a type of virus called bacteriophages or phages. The virus can kill bacteria but is harmless to humans. Of Mice and VIRUSESWhat researchers have discovered? First, they have some type of phage that kills staph bacteria identified. Your next step is the laboratory mice with two doses of lethal or nonlethal doses injected. The lethal dose of life saved 97% of the mice. Meanwhile, non-lethal doses of the virus completely finished staph infection. Within the time limit bacterial resistance to fight against the phage. Much less expensive and easier to use phages are prepared as antibiotics, phages contain big disadvantage. It is unlikely that the phage, all strains of MRSA to destroy an animal or person. To resolve this problem, doctors can use a cornucopia of phages to destroy each with different strains Staph. We must therefore be considered a viable weapon in the fight against phages in bacteria. PIGSResearchers Man Guinea pigs are excited about the possibility of using phages to fight bacteria in humans enthusiastic. They hope to start soon by examining the impact of phage infections in people with Staph. With MRSA alone in a row at least 80,000 hospital deaths in the United States each year, welcomed the news is both medical staff and patients. ALERNATIVESOther Staph Killing methods in hospitals are also effective in eradicating the spread of Staph infections. These include basic measures to ensure that hospitals keep a clean environment. “Sterilization of medical devices and take all hygienic exfoliating scrubs, how courteous the cheapest can effectively reduce transmission of Staphylococcus, including the “super. In this case, the adage” prevention is better than the book curse “applies . The reduction of population superbugs help reduce infection rates. Fortunately, researchers have discovered a type of virus that assistance to underdog in hospitals, as can be seen combat superbugs. “However, it is unlikely that the virus has become a panacea for the elimination of staph infections. Must do more. The preventive measures can help prevent dangerous superbugs always great!
