Employee health for critical care duty.
Many patients present for care in critical care settings every day. Some have known or suspected infectious diseases, whereas others may have infections that remain undetected throughout the hospital course. Through careful attention and compliance to the primary, secondary, and tertiary strategies of prevention, practitioners in critical care can remain healthy and uninfected while providing lifesaving care to their patients.
