Study Notes
Aseptic Technique
- There are two types of aseptic technique: Medical Asepsis and Surgical Asepsis.
- The basis of aseptic technique is cleanliness.
Classification of Items
- Dirty or contaminated items include any item that has come into contact with a patient or their environment.
- Clean items are those that have been properly cleaned via manual or mechanical means.
- Sterile items are those that have been sterilized.
Principles of Asepsis
- The primary principle of asepsis is to classify items into dirty, clean, and sterile categories.
- Knowing what is dirty and what is sterile is crucial in the principles of asepsis.
- Dirty, clean, and sterile areas or items should be entirely separate to prevent cross-contamination.
Sterilization and Sterility
- Sterilization involves the use of heat, chemicals, or radiation to destroy all microorganisms.
- Sterility is defined as the complete absence of microorganisms.
- In Central Sterile (CS) departments, sterility is identified through the use of indicators, such as chemical indicators or biological indicators.
Storage and Handling of Items
- Sterile and clean items should be stored in dedicated spaces to prevent contamination.
- The flow of goods should be in one direction from dirty to clean to prevent cross-contamination.
- If a sterile peel pouch falls to the floor, it should be discarded and not reused.
Purpose of Aseptic Techniques
- The primary purpose of Medical Asepsis is to reduce the risk of healthcare-associated infections.
- The primary purpose of Surgical Asepsis is to prevent surgical site infections.
- Medical Asepsis aims to achieve a reduction in the number of microorganisms on an item or surface.
