To US economy to NSIs
Needlestick injuries remain a critical issue in the healthcare industry, with substantial risks, including death. Blood borne pathogen transmission, significant emotional and psychological trauma are some of the consequences of NSIs for affected healthcare workers. Despite the severe impact, this crisis often goes unrecognized and underreported. It is crucial that we acknowledge the seriousness of this issue and take proactive steps to protect our healthcare workers.
NSIs can transmit life-altering bloodborne pathogens like Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV, and 20+ others.
Many healthcare workers experience anxiety, depression, and even PTSD after an NSI, impacting their well-being.
A single NSI costs an average of $4,352, with total annual US costs ranging from $118-591 million, excluding long-term expenses.
All healthcare workers who handle needles or sharp instruments are at risk of NSIs. Nurses, doctors, surgeons, laboratory technicians, and other medical staff face the highest risk due to the frequency of their exposure to needles and sharps. While all healthcare workers are at risk, those in the operating room find themselves on the front lines of this battle.
