          • Reverse isolation was eliminated as an isolation category by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in the mid 1980’s.

Reverse Isolation was eliminated as it was not found to improve outcomes for neutropenic patients, and isolation is a negative experience for the patient. - Nurse Code by
          • Re-housing these few inmates resulted in a reverse-isolation situation, so they were less likely to be exposed to someone who was sick or contagious, but had not yet been identified as such. The daily routine for those in reverse-isolation largely will remain the same and there will be no loss of basic privileges, like phone, visitation, commissary and other items. - Mohave Daily News by

        • Additional fields of expertise
        • Definition(s)
          • Dans les établissements de soins de santé, l'isolement est une des nombreuses mesures qui peuvent être prises pour contrôler les infections, c'est-à-dire prévenir la transmission de maladies contagieuses d'un patient aux autres patients, aux travailleurs de la santé et aux visiteurs, ou de personnes extérieures à un patient particulier (isolement inversé). Wikipedia - by Hugues Roumier

          • isolamento reverso (protetor)
        • Additional fields of expertise
        • Definition(s)
          • Isolamento reverso ou protetor destina-se a paciente cuja resistência à infecção esteja seriamente comprometida. É necessário quarto privativo, manter porta fechada, capa usada por todas as pessoas, máscara, lavagem das mãos, luvas, viitas devem ser limitadas e transporte de pacientes deve ser evitado, pra proteger o paciente de qualquer fonte de infecção. Enfermagem Ilustrada - by Felipe Tomasi
        • Example sentence(s)
          • Sirva de exemplo o ultrapassado “Isolamento Reverso ou Isolamento Protetor”. O Isolamento Protetor consistia em confinar o paciente imunodeprimido em quarto privativo; a equipe de tratamento envergava, obrigatoriamente, avental, máscara e luvas esterilizadas. Tais medidas dispendiosas, todavia, não atendiam à proteção pretendida, pois, grande parte das infecções hospitalares provem da própria flora endógena do paciente (microbiota humana). - ANVISA by Felipe Tomasi
          • Existem ainda outros tipos de medidas de isolamento que constituem o isolamento protetor, este é aplicado em doentes imunodeprimidos, pois estão em maior risco de contrair vários tipos de infeções durante o seu tratamento, por este motivo é sempre aconselhável minimizar a exposição dos doentes protegendo-os do risco de transmissão pelo ambiente hospitalar, pela equipa de saúde e visitas. - Instituto de Ciências da Saúde do Port by Felipe Tomasi
          • O isolamento reverso é usado para impedir que o paciente seja infectado por outros. O isolamento reverso é necessário quando o sistema imunológico do paciente não está funcionando bem, como depois de um transplante de medula óssea ou após ter recebido quimioterapia. Qualquer um dos tipos de isolamento pode envolver o seguinte: A pessoa é colocada em um quarto sozinha. Qualquer pessoa que entrar no quarto deve utilizar o equipamento de proteção descrito acima. O ar na sala pode ser filtrado. Os visitantes são geralmente limitados aos membros mais próximos da família. Crianças pequenas e pessoas com um sistema imunológico debilitado não devem visitar alguém com uma infecção contagiosa. Pessoas com uma infecção contagiosa (mesmo se for um resfriado comum) não devem visitar pessoas no hospital, especialmente alguém em isolamento reverso. - MSD Manuals by Felipe Tomasi
