Infection Control in Small Animal Clinical Practice
By Fergus Allerton, Kelly Bowlt Blacklock
2023 Edition
Infection
prevention and control is vital within a veterinary setting, but can
find itself an automated part of care - and therefore vulnerable to time
constraints, forgetfulness, and routine. This book is written by
experts in the field and uses evidence-based findings to elevate
infection prevention to a well understood, dynamic concept, relevant to
both veterinary practitioners and nurses in practice.
Comparing key findings to the human healthcare world, this book:
- Maximizes learning opportunities with lots of practical examples and cases;
- Provides practical how-to sections, such as setting up a surveillance program; and
- Bases findings on current veterinary literature.
Beginning
with an introduction to the importance of infection control, dedicated
chapters in this book then consider key principles such as hand hygiene,
personal protective equipment, infection control for the surgical and
hospitalized patient, and care for immunosuppressed individuals.
Importantly, this book presents an up-to-date exploration of responsible
antibiotic use in the context of rising resistance.
