What are blood and body toàn thân fluid precautions?
Blood and body toàn thân fluid precautions are recommendations designed to prevent the transmission of HIV, hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and other diseases while giving first aid or other health care that includes contact with body toàn thân fluids or blood. These precautions treat all blood and body toàn thân fluids as potentially infectious for diseases that are transmitted in the blood. The organisms spreading these diseases are called blood-borne pathogens.

Blood and body toàn thân fluid precautions apply to blood and other body toàn thân fluids that contain visible traces of blood, semen, and vaginal fluids. They also apply to tissues and other body toàn thân fluids, such as from around the brain or spinal cord (cerebrospinal fluid), around a joint space (synovial fluid), in the lungs (pleural fluid), in the lining of the belly and pelvis (peritoneal fluid), around the heart (pericardial fluid), and amniotic fluid that surrounds a fetus.
Why are blood and body toàn thân fluid precautions important?
Although skin provides some protection from exposure to potentially infectious substances, it is strongly recommended that health professionals use blood and body toàn thân fluid precautions for further protection when they are providing health care. These precautions also help protect you from exposure to a potential infection from your health professional in the unlikely sự kiện that you come in contact with the health professional's blood.
It is recommended that everyone use blood and body toàn thân fluid precautions when giving first aid.
Are blood and body toàn thân fluid precautions always needed?
The best practice is to always use blood and body toàn thân fluid precautions, even when you can't see any blood and there's no chance that blood is present. But the precautions aren't absolutely needed if you don't see any blood when you come in contact with other body toàn thân fluids, such as:
- Breast milk.Stool.Mucus from the nose or lungs.Sweat.Tears.Urine.Vomit.
How can you reduce your risk of exposure to blood and body toàn thân fluids?
Blood and body toàn thân fluid precautions involve the use of protective barriers such as gloves, gowns, masks, and eye protection. These reduce the risk of exposing the skin or mucous membranes to potentially infectious fluids. Health care workers should always use protective barriers to protect themselves from exposure to another person's blood or body toàn thân fluids.
- Gloves protect you whenever you touch blood; body toàn thân fluids;
mucous membranes; or broken, burned, or scraped skin. The use of gloves also decreases the risk of disease transmission if you are pricked with a needle.
- Always wear gloves for handling items or surfaces soiled with blood or body toàn thân
fluids.
Wear gloves if you have scraped, cut, or chapped skin on your hands.Change your gloves after each use. Wash your hands immediately after removing your gloves.Wash your hands and other skin surfaces immediately after they come in contact with blood or body toàn thân fluids.
How else can I reduce my risk?
It is recommended that everyone use blood and body toàn thân fluid precautions while giving first aid. You may wish to have gloves available in your home, office, or vehicle if you think you may be required to help another person in an emergency.
Other precautions can help you minimize your risk of exposure to contaminated blood and body toàn thân fluids.
- If you give injections to a family thành viên or to yourself:
- Use puncture-resistant containers to dispose of needles, scalpels, and other sharp instruments.Do not recap needles.Do not bend or handle used needles or disposable syringes.
Learn first aid and CPR, so when you are faced with an emergency or injury, you will know what to do.
What should I do if I am exposed?

you get splashed in the eyes, nose, or mouth, flush with water.If you are pricked by a needle (needle stick), contact your doctor right away for further advice.
