Standard precautions: what is meant and what is not	2015-05-31		.txt	text/plain	1343	82	52	5 In 1996, the CDC replaced the term 'universal precautions' with 'standard precautions', which aimed to prevent nosocomial infection in patients as well as HCWs, and concerned other micro-organisms as well as BBVs. 6 The CDC updated the definition of standard precautions in 2007 2 to include new elements of respiratory hygiene as a consequence of lessons learned in the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome, and safe injection practices as a result of the multiple outbreaks involving BBVs and other organisms that occurred principally from the re-use of needles and contaminated multi-dose vials. 1 Standard infection control precautions published by Health Protection Scotland include both a policy and independent supplementary literature reviews to provide evidence for their required actions, similar to, but not overlapping with, the CDC model. 4 The epic3 account lacks some of the basics of the CDC's standard precautions, but includes critical information on several high-infection-risk deviceassociated procedures.	./cache/cord-286228-0666mbr7.txt	./txt/cord-286228-0666mbr7.txt
