What is the Quick Fix for infection control?

On the subject of first aid and assisting the injured, generally speaking what procedure/s to follow to reduce infection of the first aid provider.

If you are providing first aid or medical attention to someone, the basic concepts of infection control apply in the field as well as in a hospital.

1. Avoid contact with bodily fluids.

2. Wear appropriate protective materials - latex/vinyl/nitrile gloves, cover the eyes & mouth (some sort of glasses and some sort of surgical-style mask)

3. Collect all soiled materials after the treatment and dispose of appropriately. Bandages, tape, dressings, anything that has blood or other body fluids on it. At a bare minimum, collect it all in a plastic bag, close the bag, and ask a professional for help.

4. Ask the patient to tell you if s/he has some sort of prior condition which might be transmissible (Herpes, flu, HIV, syphillus, etc.) Take disease-specific steps to address this.

5. If you are exposed to anything, get cut in the process of providing treatment, or have any other concerns, contact a qualified health professional after the first aid treatment is done.

it depends on what type of infection.
