This article explores the chain of infection stages of infection and transmission-based precautions in detail integrating practical knowledge with evidence-based strategies useful for both students and healthcare professionals.

 

Routine practices and additional precautions are used to break or minimize the chain of transmission. Click on the dropdown button under each chain of transmission link to learn more about that link in the chain and how to break the chain to stop or reduce the transmission of the infection.

 

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) standard precautions include the following [2]: The easiest and most effective way to break the chain of infection is by using proper hand hygiene at appropriate times during patient care.

 

While seemingly unstoppable the way to stop infection which is surprisingly simple: No matter the organism there are six ?links? at which the chain of infection can be broken (no matter the organism) and breaking any link goes a long way to ensuring microbial safety.

 

The overall aim of Standard Infection Control Precautions (SICPs) is to break the chain of infection. The chain of infection diagram illustrates and gives examples of actions that can be taken to break it.

 

A cyclic process known as the chain of infection describes the transmission of an infection. By implementing interventions to break one or more links in the chain of infection the spread of infection can be stopped.

 

Infection control explained: break the chain of infection with standard and transmission-based precautions hand hygiene PPE and decontamination best practices.
