| Inside the Shark Cage |
It is Shark Week on the Discovery Channel. Every year, the
Discovery Channel treats us with an up close and too personal view of sharks in
their element, doing what sharks do. Of course, the divers filming the sharks
in action take every precaution to protect themselves from
the immanent danger. Tools include special diving gear, electric
prods and the device which would be my personal choice if I ever went diving
with sharks: the shark cage.
This past weeks headlines in our Real Time Updates almost
had me name this column, "Infections Week" as we had too many stories
highlighting the failure of various institutions to prevent cross contamination
amongst their patients. We in the infection control business
are swimming with sharks: schools of potentially hazardous substance
circle about us in these waters and it is our job to understand them, contain
and reduce them - and protect our patients from them. Sometimes we fail. Like
swimming with sharks, failure can be the difference between life and
death.
So what is our shark cage? It is the tools and procedures to
insure we are doing the job right. Making sure that we not only clean a
surface, but that we audit our performance to be sure we are truly getting
those surfaces clean, for instance. Our cage of precautions keep us (and our
patients) safe from the swarming sharks of infectious agents, keeping us just
outside their reach.
