What are the 5 major body fluids?
A short list of bodily fluids includes:
- Blood. Blood plays a major role in the body’s defense against infection by carrying waste away from our cells and flushing them out of the body in urine, feces, and sweat.
- Saliva.
- Semen.
- Vaginal fluids.
- Mucus.
- Urine.
What are the 5 modes of transmission for bloodborne pathogens?
Bloodborne pathogens such as HBV and HIV can be transmitted through contact with infected human blood and other potentially infectious body fluids such as:
- semen.
- vaginal secretions.
- cerebrospinal fluid.
- synovial fluid.
- pleural fluid.
- peritoneal fluid.
- amniotic fluid.
- saliva (in dental procedures), and.
What are the 5 universal precautions?
5 Steps of Universal Precautions
- Education.
- Hand washing.
- Use of protective barriers (Personal Protective Equipment (PPE))
- Cleaning of contaminated surfaces.
- Safe handling/disposal of contaminated material.
What is the recommended barrier to protect you from body fluids?
Blood and body 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.
What are the different types of body fluids?
Biological fluids include blood, urine, semen (seminal fluid), vaginal secretions, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), synovial fluid, pleural fluid (pleural lavage), pericardial fluid, peritoneal fluid, amniotic fluid, saliva, nasal fluid, otic fluid, gastric fluid, breast milk, as well as cell culture supernatants.
How many different body fluids are there?
A body fluid refers to any fluid produced by a living organism. In humans, the body fluid can be classified into two major types according to location: (1) intracellular fluid and (2) extracellular fluid.
What are the different modes of transmission for a bloodborne pathogen?
Bloodborne pathogens are most commonly transmitted through:
- Accidental puncture from contaminated needles, broken glass, or other sharps.
- Contact between broken or damaged skin and infected body fluids.
- Contact between mucous membranes and infected body fluids.
- Sexual Contact.
- Sharing of hypodermic needles.
What are 3 universal precautions when dealing with body fluids?
How can you reduce your risk of exposure to blood and body fluids?
- Always wear gloves for handling items or surfaces soiled with blood or body 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.
What types of fluids are included in blood and body fluid precautions?
Blood and body fluid precautions apply to blood and other body fluids that contain visible traces of blood, semen, and vaginal fluids.
What are the 4 body fluids?
When to use buffer fluid and barrier fluid?
The terms ‘buffer fluid’ and ‘barrier fluid’ are used to describe these fluids. As defined in API 682, a buffer fluid is used in unpressurized dual seals. A barrier fluid is used in pressurized dual seals to isolate the pump process liquid from the environment.
What should the viscosity of a barrier fluid be?
The fluid should be viscous enough to separate surfaces and prevent wear without restricting seal movement or heat transfer. High viscosity can also cause carbon blistering. In general, current guidelines for buffer/barrier fluid viscosity are to use lower viscosities than in the past. The following guidelines are helpful:
What are the different types of ECF in the body?
The body has other water-based ECF. These include the cerebrospinal fluid that bathes the brain and spinal cord, lymph, the synovial fluid in joints, the pleural fluid in the pleural cavities, the pericardial fluid in the cardiac sac, the peritoneal fluid in the peritoneal cavity, and the aqueous humor of the eye.
What are the main components of body fluids?
The different types of body fluids include: The main components of blood include: Plasma: Plasma is the liquid component of blood. It is a thick fluid containing 55% blood, 90% water, and 8% proteins. Albumin is the major protein in plasma. Other proteins include immunoglobulins and clotting factors.
