Study Notes
Exposure to Blood or Chemicals
- Immediate action after exposure to blood, other potentially infectious materials (OPIM), or chemicals in non-intact skin or eyes is to wash the area thoroughly with soap and water.
- Flush exposed eyes with clean water or saline for at least 15 minutes to remove contaminants.
Medical Asepsis (Clean Technique)
- The primary aim is to reduce the number and transmission of pathogens to prevent infection.
- Involves practices like hand hygiene, disinfecting surfaces, and using barrier precautions.
Surgical Asepsis (Sterile Technique)
- The primary aim is to eliminate all microorganisms from the surgical field and equipment to prevent infection during invasive procedures.
- Involves maintaining a sterile environment using sterilization of instruments, wearing sterile gloves, and using sterile drapes.
Examples of Medical Asepsis
- Handwashing before patient contact or before procedures is a fundamental example of medical asepsis.
- Use of disinfectants to clean surfaces in healthcare settings is also considered medical asepsis.
Examples of Surgical Asepsis
- Preparing and packaging surgical instruments in a sterile manner for use during surgery exemplifies surgical asepsis.
- Maintaining a sterile field during surgical procedures is crucial to ensure no contaminants enter the area.
