Study Notes
Sterility and Aseptic Technique
- Sterility is defined as the absence of all microorganisms.
- Since sterility is invisible to the human eye, it is identified through processes such as sterilization, testing, and validation.
- If dirty, clean, and sterile areas or items have not been separated, errors can occur, and contamination can spread, so it's essential to correct the separation immediately.
Importance of Separation and Storage
- Storing sterile and clean items in dedicated spaces prevents contamination and ensures the integrity of the items.
- The purpose of storing sterile and clean items in dedicated spaces is to maintain their cleanliness and sterility.
Workflow and Aseptic Technique
- A workflow must support the separation of dirty, clean, and sterile areas or items to ensure the flow of goods is maintained.
- The principle of asepsis that emphasizes the importance of keeping the three conditions separate is crucial for maintaining cleanliness and sterility.
Mechanical Cleaning and Sterility
- Mechanical cleaning achieves the removal of dirt, debris, and microorganisms from surfaces.
- Sterility is impossible to see with the human eye because microorganisms are too small to be visible.
Questioning Cleanliness
- If something regarding cleanliness is questioned, it's essential to investigate and take corrective action to prevent contamination.
Types of Aseptic Technique
- There are two types of Aseptic Technique: Medical Asepsis and Surgical Asepsis.
- Medical Asepsis is the practice of preventing the spread of microorganisms from one person to another, with an example being hand hygiene.
- Surgical Asepsis is the practice of preventing the spread of microorganisms in the surgical environment, with an example being the use of sterile gloves and gowns.
Basis of Aseptic Technique
- The basis of the aseptic technique is the prevention of contamination by separating dirty, clean, and sterile areas or items.
Contaminated Items
- Contaminated items are considered 'dirty' or contaminated and should be decontaminated or disposed of properly.
- Contaminated items should be handled and stored separately to prevent the spread of microorganisms.
Purpose of Surgical Asepsis
- The purpose of Surgical Asepsis is to prevent the spread of microorganisms in the surgical environment, ensuring a safe and clean environment for patients.
