If you work near radioactive material, use standard precautions to protect yourself.

– Minimize your exposure time, to reduce radiation dose.

– Maximize your distance from the source, and stand at least 9 feet from portable x-ray machines.

– Maximize shielding by use of rolling shields, lead aprons, and thyroid shields.

– Wear a personal, radiation dosimeter badge monitor.

Page 27: 1 WELCOME TO HENRY FORD MACOMB HOSPITAL ORIENTATION! 5/1/14.

27

Laser Safety

Warning signs must be posted when the Laser is in use.

Appropriate protective eyewear must be worn (dependent on type of Laser used). Side eye protection is essential.

If you work in an area where Lasers are used, you must receive instruction from the Laser Safety Officer, of the dangers and precautions to be taken, to prevent harm to oneself and the patient.

Page 28: 1 WELCOME TO HENRY FORD MACOMB HOSPITAL ORIENTATION! 5/1/14.

Magnetic Resonance Safety

The magnetic field, produced during an MRI examination, creates a potentially very dangerous situation, and therefore is STRICTLY “off limits” to unscreened staff – even in emergency situations.

Ergonomics

Ergonomics is the science of designing work stations and tools, and introducing work practices to reduce work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs).

Page 30: 1 WELCOME TO HENRY FORD MACOMB HOSPITAL ORIENTATION! 5/1/14.

30

Ergonomics

WMSDs are injuries and illnesses that affect muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments, joints, or spinal discs.

The goal is to achieve the optimal match between the person doing the work, and the overall work environment.

32

“Back”ground

Back problems not new. *

Back disabilities are the top item in compensation payments.

Account for 93 million work days lost per year.

Americans spend over $17 billion annually for diagnostics and treatments and billions more in disability claims.

97% of the money spent on treatment 3% toward prevention.

Interesting when you consider you are 10 times more likely to have another episode of back pain compared to individuals who have never had an injury.

Page 33: 1 WELCOME TO HENRY FORD MACOMB HOSPITAL ORIENTATION! 5/1/14.

33

Anatomy

24 vertebrae in all– 7 Cervical Vertebra– 12 Thoracic– 5 Lumbar – Sacrum & Coccyx

Intervertebral Disc

Nerves

Disc– Jelly- like shock absorbers.– Surrounded by rubbery fibers attach to bone.

Ligaments– Tough non-elastic bands that connect bone to bone.

Page 34: 1 WELCOME TO HENRY FORD MACOMB HOSPITAL ORIENTATION! 5/1/14.

34

Anatomy, Continued

Muscles– Movers and Stabilizers

Nerves – Originate from spinal cord, exit between vertebrae and travel

out to individual muscles.– Provide energy to make muscles contract.

Distal Symptoms when nerves are impinged. – i.e. numbness, tingling down leg or arm

Audience Interaction

Everyone stands and moves through all planes of motion.– Fwd Bend

– Bwd Bend

– Rt. Side Bend

– Lft. Side Bend

– Rotation Lt. And Rt.

Purpose is to show not only that tight muscles limit motion but the bones or facet joints also limit motion.

Page 35: 1 WELCOME TO HENRY FORD MACOMB HOSPITAL ORIENTATION! 5/1/14.

35

Purpose of the Spine

Maintain and support the structure of the trunk to allow for body mobility.

Protect Spinal Cord

Act as Shock Absorber.– Bones, Discs and ligaments provide the structure.

– Muscles support the structure and facet joints direct movements.

– Nervous system provides the energy and control.

Page 36: 1 WELCOME TO HENRY FORD MACOMB HOSPITAL ORIENTATION! 5/1/14.

36

“Back” to Basics

Back problems usually begin way before you experience pain.

Most of the time back problems are a result of cumulative effects of months or years of poor posture, bad mechanics, deconditioning, loss of flexibility, stress and poor nutrition.

Page 37: 1 WELCOME TO HENRY FORD MACOMB HOSPITAL ORIENTATION! 5/1/14.

37
