    Study Notes

    Aseptic Technique

    • Two types of Aseptic Technique: Surgical Asepsis and Medical Asepsis
    • Basis of Aseptic Technique: separating contaminated, clean, and sterile items

    Contamination

    • Contaminated items: those that have come into contact with body fluids, non-sterile surfaces, or have been touched by non-sterile gloves
    • Item is considered contaminated if it has not been sterilized or is not in a sterile environment

    Surgical Asepsis

    • Main focus: creating a sterile environment to prevent surgical site infections
    • Involves: sterilization of instruments, equipment, and supplies, as well as maintaining a sterile field

    Medical Asepsis

    • Main focus: preventing the spread of infection
    • Aims to: reduce the number of microorganisms on the skin and on surfaces
    • Involves: hand hygiene, environmental cleaning, and proper handling of equipment and supplies

    Sterility

    • Definition: the absence of all microorganisms
    • Identified in items after sterilization process: through testing or validation of the sterilization process

    Principles of Asepsis

    • "Must Separate the dirty, clean, and sterile" : separate contaminated, clean, and sterile items to prevent cross-contamination
    • "Remedy contamination immediately and safely" : remove contaminants and clean up spills promptly
    • "Knowing what is clean" : understand what is clean and what is not
    • "Keeping three conditions entirely separate" : maintain separate areas or spaces for dirty, clean, and sterile items

    Sterilization

    • Example of sterilization method: not specified
    • Sterilization removes: microorganisms and other contaminants

    Cleaning and Storage

    • Mechanical cleaning removes: dirt, debris, and other contaminants
    • Storing sterile and clean items in dedicated spaces helps to keep them free of: contaminants
