- 47. EOC-Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety Careful procedures are necessary for handling the various compressed gases, the cylinders containing the compressed gases, regulators or valves used to control gas flow.

Editor's Notes
- Wash hands after touching blood, body fluids, secretions, excretions, and contaminated items (whether gloves are worn or not). Wash hands immediately after gloves are removed, between pt contacts, and as needed to avoid the transfer of microorganisms to other pts and environments. Also wash hands when visibly soiled with soap/water. If not visibly soiled use an alcohol based antiseptic agent.
- Standard precautions apply to blood, all body fluids, secretions, and excretions except sweat, nonintact skin, and mucous membranes. Standard precautions uses the elements of hand hygiene and personal protective equipment such as gloves, masks, goggles, and face shields, and gowns.
- Required for pts infected by airborne germs that are very small and float on the air. These germs travel longer distances and cause infection when the person inhales them.
- Required for pts known or suspected to be infected by larger droplet germs. These germs travel short distances and cause infections when they enter a person’s eyes, nose, or mouth.
- Required for pts known or suspected to be infected by germs that travel by direct contact. Most common form of isolation. Occurs from direct, skin to skin contact or through objects like medical equipment.
