Speaker Notes: The three bloodborne viruses of primary concern for transmission from sharps injuries are hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV) viruses, and human immunodeficiency virus (or HIV), the virus that is associated with AIDS.

Three specific subtypes of sharp force injuries exist, as follows: stab wounds, incised wounds, and chop wounds.

In the US, the estimated cost of a single Needlestick Injury (NSI) treatment ranges between US$500 to US$4,000 (note: as of September 2022, the average cost of a single sharps injury is $4,352 based on inflation-adjusted research).

Your chances of catching a disease from a single needle stick are usually very low. About 1 out of 300 health care workers accidentally stuck with a needle from someone with HIV get infected. But for hepatitis B, the odds can be as high as nearly 1 in 3 if the worker hasn't been vaccinated for it.

A sharps injury is a penetrating stab wound from a needle, scalpel, or other sharp object that may result in exposure to blood or other body fluids. Sharps injuries are typically the result of using sharp equipment in a fast-paced, stressful, and potentially understaffed environment.

A needlestick injury means the skin is accidentally punctured by a used needle. Diseases that could be transmitted by a needle or needlestick injury include human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B and hepatitis C.

Wash puncture and small wounds with soap and water for 15 minutes. Be aware of wash station locations in your facility based on what shift you're working. Apply direct pressure to lacerations to control bleeding and seek medical attention.

Viral Hepatitis Of the viruses, the most common organism acquired via a needlestick injury is hepatitis B. About 30% to 50% of individuals who do contract hepatitis B may develop jaundice, fever, nausea, and vague abdominal pain. In most individuals, these symptoms will spontaneously subside in 4 to 8 weeks.
