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
