1 Addressing TB Infection Prevention in our Healthcare Settings Lana Kay Tyer, RN MSN TB Nurse Consultant WA State DOH Objectives Describe droplet precautions and circumstances when personal N95 respirators are used to prevent exposure Describe the factors which determine transmission of TB and the characteristics of a patient with TB disease that are associated with infectiousness Explore various applications of TB infection control measures in community health care settings Waiting Room: 5-10 minutes in your clinic waiting room Symptom checklist Patient given mask by front desk Nurse assessment initiated 1
2 Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Carried in airborne particles Infectious droplet nuclei Generated when persons who have pulmonary or laryngeal TB disease cough, sneeze, shout, or sing Tiny particles can remain suspended in the air for several hours (depending on the local environment) Transmission occurs when: 1. a person inhales droplet nuclei containing M. tuberculosis AND 2. the droplet nuclei traverse the mouth or nasal passages, upper respiratory tract, and bronchi to reach the alveoli of the lungs What if I was around someone who was coughing? How long? How close? Coughing a lot? Looks really sick? Adequate Ventilation? Your own medical status (immunocompromised, comorbidities) Epidemiologic Triad 2
3 Patient Exam Room: minutes in exam room with nurse and phone Patient masked Nurse is not masked Droplet Precautions Patient wears mask Patients quickly roomed Staff wear mask and gloves during patient care Consider other PPE as needed (eye protection, gown) Airborne (droplet nuclei) Very small particles of evaporated droplets or dust with infectious agent Remain in air for a long time Travel farther than droplets Become aerosolized during procedures Examples: Tuberculosis Measles (Rubeola) Varicella 3
4 Chain of Infection + Patient masked Nurse is not masked Quantity of pathogen Virulence Route of transmission Port Sensitive host Outside: 5 minutes outside waiting for taxi Patient wears mask Taxi driver not given any special instructions for transport Exposure Prevention Measures Prevent spread of infection through inhalable airborne particles: Surgical mask for respiratory symptoms or suspected TB patient N-95 mask or surgical mask for provider extended exposure time or intensity of interaction Ventilate Open windows or doors of field site Use non-circulating fan system Sputum collection Negative air pressure room Home collection Outdoor Transport Limit time mindful of distance Open transport vehicle windows 4
5 Follow up a few business days later Growing concern of staff Contacting TB Clinic Duration and Intensity of TB Exposure Aerosolization key to transmission Plumes of aerosolization intermittently Patients vary greatly in infectivity Treatment decreases aerosolization even if sputum remain positive Simple measures decrease transmission Surgical masks on patients Isolation and separation Ventilation (air exchange >6 ACH or open window + fan) 5
6 Tuberculosis TB Transmission Details AFB smear is a risk factor but not a useful indicator of infectivity once on treatment Not all sputum smear positive patients are infectious Most untreated TB patients are not very infectious (about 30% transmit to household contacts) Some TB patients are super spreaders 15% of untreated sputum smear negative are infectious Irrigation of a TB abscess can also aerosolize TB Kevin P. Fennelly, MD, MPH, Kevin.Fennelly@medicine.ufl.edu TB Disease Characteristics Associated With Infectiousness Factor Clinical Procedure Radiographic and laboratory Description Presence of cough, especially lasting 3 weeks or longer Respiratory tract disease, especially with involvement of the larynx (highly infectious) Failure to cover the mouth and nose when coughing Inappropriate or inadequate treatment (drugs, duration) Undergoing cough-inducing or aerosol-generating procedures (e.g., bronchoscopy, sputum induction, administration of aerosolized medications) Cavitation on chest radiograph Positive culture for M. tuberculosis Positive AFB sputum smear result 6
7 2 weeks later Call TB Clinic again Transmission of TB Frequency of Contact Risk of Infection Risk greater with frequent intimate contact Risk less with occasional contact In both cases, the risk accumulates with the number and length of contact Ending Timeline minutes other clinic 5-10 minutes your clinic waiting room -MASK- -Exam room minutes in exam room with nurse and phone (nurse unmasked) 5 minutes outside waiting for taxi 7
8 Preventing TB Transmission: Creating a Culture of TB Awareness TB Infection Prevention Measures Hierarchy of Infection Control Administrative Controls Environmental Controls Respiratory Protection TB Infection Control Measures Administrative controls: Infection control plan, clinical protocol, training, coordinating efforts between settings 8
9 TB Infection Control Measures Environmental controls: Engineering systems to prevent the spread of TB nuclei in air (room air exchanges, HEPA filters) TB Infection Control Measures Respiratory-protection controls: Personal protection to minimize risk for exposure to TB N95 Particulate Respirator for Staff Get fit tested and pay attention to size (S, M, L) Place over nose, mouth and chin Fit flexible nose piece over nose bridge Secure on head with elastic Adjust to fit and check for fit: Inhale respirator should collapse Exhale check for leakage around face 9
10 N95 Storage Field Staff Store your N95 respirator in a clean, dry Zip-lock bag This will keep it clean and dry until you are ready to use it Store one in your work bag and car Improvements Should instructions have been given to the taxi driver? Use of PPE while contact to patient? Coordination with ED where patient was sent? Guidelines for Preventing the Transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Health-Care Settings 10
