how is it possible to get trichomonas in your sputum
I take care of a quad male that has a trach in place. His sputum had tested positive for MRSA, pseudomonas, and trichomonas. I had no idea you could get and std in your sputum and i'm even more curious to find out how that happened. Is that really a possibility and how could he have gotten it in his sputum? Thank you, Kelly
different trich infection than the std infection. trichomonas in a trach is not the same as trichomoniasis , the std.
if you are washing your hands after caring for this patient , you really aren't at risk for pseudomonas or trichomonas from their trach. If their trach secretions tend to fly out a lot, make sure you are using goggles when suctioning them. Same with it also helps protect you from mrsa too. if you are caring for someone in their home, make sure they are doing all the cleaning and proper laundering that needs done to prevent mrsa from being transmitted in a household.
