Operating room (OR) traffic disrupts airflow and increases particle count, which predisposes patients to surgical site infections (SSIs), particularly in longer surgeries with hardware placement. The aim of this study is to evaluate the rate of

During public health emergencies, demand for N95® filtering facepiece respirators (N95 FFRs) can outpace supply. Elastomeric half mask respirators (EHMRs) are a potential alternative that are reusable and provide the same or higher levels of

Viral aerosols generated during toilet flushing represent a potential route of pathogen transmission. The goal of this study was to determine the impact of toilet lid closure prior to flushing on the generation of viral aerosols and cross

This study evaluated the accuracy of an electronic monitoring system for assessing hand hygiene in a clinical setting in relation to direct observations.

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected high school students. Little is known about the mediators of student perceptions of infection prevention and public health entities. We piloted a survey to evaluate the relationship between student

Healthcare workers (HCWs) face a higher risk of infection and may transmit pathogens to patients during a pandemic. This study aims to evaluate infection-control measures by analyzing the incidence and risk factors of COVID-19 and estimating vaccine

Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii are of increasing concern in the healthcare setting. We describe a cluster of 9 cases in hospitalized patients over a 3- month period that reflected ongoing community transmission from high-risk facilities

To examine the influence of the early mobilization on the risk of surgical site infections (SSI) in patients undergoing spinal fusion surgery.
