HAIs are resulting from complications of healthcare. They are linked with high morbidity and mortality. On any given day, 1 in 31 hospital patients has an HAI (an infection while being treated in a medical facility). It is one of the most emerging problems in health care. Additional infections occur in other healthcare settings. Seriously ill patients are particularly vulnerable to serious complications due to HAIs, likely due to factors such as progressively more invasive medical technology and complex medical procedures, increasing immunocompromised status and elderly age, and the rising incidence of antimicrobial resistance. The encouraging news is that many HAIs are preventable when evidence based guidelines are incorporated into patient care. Patients who get a CLABSI have a fever, and might also have red skin and soreness around the central line. If this happens, healthcare providers can do tests to learn if there is an infection present. Healthcare providers must follow a strict protocol when inserting the line to make sure the line remains sterile and a CLABSI does not occur. In addition to inserting the central line properly, healthcare providers must use stringent infection control practices each time they check the line or change the dressing.

Waste management is a crucial activity and should be performed as per the guidelines to ensure proper infection control. There are different norms for waste management in community and hospital. However improper handling of waste in hospital may cause a health hazard in community also. This is more prone in situations like COVID-19. Inspire of different wastes there is an interacting blue bin used for solid waste management as well as the biomedical waste management. This paper aims is to highlight the interaction of the blue colour in hospital waste as well as the solid waste management guidelines and aims to isolate colours for improving the chances of errors.

Background: Burns is one of the most common types of injury irrespective of age group, gender, socio-economic status. Treatment of each patient must be individualized. Initial treatment of acute injury has direct bearing over the mortality or morbidity of the patient. Methods: This is a descriptive study in which seven residents involved in the treatment of burns patients were handed over burns proforma to aid in decision making and their responses were analysed.
