Bloodborne Pathogens
Instructor: April Fuhr
• Hello everyone who downloaded this
presentation. This was designed for the
new material in May 2006. As far as I can
tell, much of it is covered in the DVD and
then again in the class, so it may seem
like a lot of repetition it really isn’t that bad.
It is designed to go along with your
manual. I hope it helps and please send
me feedback at [email protected].
• Remember that there are notes on some
slides. I hope this helps… Happy teaching

Scenario 1
• A woman has cut her hand and arm
with a knife while opening a box. You
are the first trained person on the
scene and find the woman severely
bleeding from her hand and arm.
Blood is spurting from the wounds.
• How would you respond and what are
some of your concerns?
OSHA
• In 1991 OSHA (Occupational Safety
and Health Administration) issued
the bloodborne pathogens standard
to protect employees by reducing or
removing the hazards of bloodborne
pathogens from the workplace.
• This regulation applies to all persons
who have occupational exposure to
blood or other potentially infectious
materials

How Infections Occur
How Infections Occur
• A pathogen is…
• The skin and mucous membranes of the
eyes, nose and mouth help keep
pathogens from entering the body.
• Immune system
• Bacteria and viruses
Bloodborne Pathogens that cause
serious diseases
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis C
HIV
Hepatitis B
• The term "hepatitis" refers to syndromes
or diseases causing liver inflammation,
including inflammation due to viruses and
chronic alcohol abuse.
• Hepatitis B is spread through blood and
sexual contact.
How it is spread
• Hepatitis B is
transmitted via
blood and other
body fluids.
Infection can occur
through:
– Contaminated
instruments and
needles
– Birth
Hepatitis B Symptoms
Early symptoms may
include…
– Nausea and vomiting
– Loss of appetite, fatigue,
muscle and joint aches.
Later symptoms include…
– Jaundice, with dark urine
and light stools
Hepatitis B Prevention
• Screening of Donated Blood
• Vaccinations
Hepatitis C
• It is the most common chronic bloodborne
infection in the U.S.
• The symptoms are similar to Hepatitis B
• There is no vaccine and no treatment after
exposure that will prevent infection.
HIV
• A virus that attacks the white blood cells,
destroys the immune system, and causes
AIDS.
• You can not tell who has it by looking at
them.
• Late stage symptoms include…
– Fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, weight loss
