Please refer to the Tools section to download the collective order. Here is a memory aid for SoftLab codes according to your sample type: 1) Blood sample collection (IgM): MEAMS 2) Urine sample collection (NAAT): MEAPC (please specify the source and use a sterile container) 3) Nasopharyngeal secretions: MEAPC (please specify source and use a fluffy swab) Please note that IgM blood samples are analyzed by Corelab, but all measles PCR tests are sent to Ste-Justine and require a viral transport media. See the Care techniques tab for more information on the equipment required. See also the MSI "CCOMTL - Mesures PCI - Rougeole : Gestion des cas et des contacts" for more information related to IPAC The last update on measles by the INESSS can be found here: INESSS: Publication: Repérage et diagnostic de la rougeole Please find two training courses you can use, depending on your needs/sectors, prepared by Anna Tazian, CC première ligne: Rougeole Dépistage - Application OC Rougeole épidémiologie et informations générales

Procedure consisting of inserting or removing an indwelling urinary catheter through the urethra.
A “wound” is defined as any alteration in skin integrity as a result of a trauma (e.g. skin tear, burns, lacerations, abrasions, etc.), pressure injuries, altered vascular perfusion, incontinence associated dermatitis (IAD) requiring nursing interventions and dressing care, including application of topical creams (e.g. Triad, Critic-Aid Clear, etc.) Pressure injury: See Appendix 1 for Pressure Injury Staging and Definitions (NPUAP 2016) Sinus Tract or Tunneling: a path of tissue destruction, or “dead space”, occurring in any direction from the surface of the wound. This has a potential for abscess formation (refer to image 1 for Tunneling and Undermining) Undermining: A portion of tissue destruction occurring under intact skin along the periphery of the wound margins. Distinct from sinus tracts and tunneling as it affects a larger portion of the wound edge. With undermining, the base of the wound is larger than what is visible on the surface - commonly seen with shear injuries (refer to image 1 for Tunneling and Undermining).
Measure central venous pressure using a percutaneous catheter connected to a pressure sensor and inserted into the superior or inferior vena cava up to the right atrium. Normal values for central venous pressure vary between 2 to 6 mm Hg.
