Physiology and Asepsis in Surgical Practice Quiz

Physiology and Asepsis in Surgical Practice

• Physiological positions of different joints and body parts are important to consider during surgical procedures.
• Asepsis is crucial for preventing and eliminating surgical infections caused by endogenous and exogenous sources.
• Channels of exogenous infection include respiratory, hematogenous, lymphogenous, contact, and implantation.
• Channels of endogenous infection include contact, implantation, lymphogenous, and surgical instruments.
• Long-term hospital stay before an operation is a risk factor for postoperative wound infection.
• Special functional zones of the operational unit include the sterile regimen, severe regimen, limited regimen, free regimen, and hospital regimen.
• The zone of the sterile regimen includes the operating room, sterilization room, preoperative room, and anesthetic room.
• The method of ventilation for the operating room is input ventilation.
• General cleaning in the operating room should be done once a week.
• Total absence of microorganisms and spores is possible through sterilization, not disinfection.
• Physical methods of sterilization include heat sterilization, irradiation sterilization, boiling, steam sterilization, and gasing sterilization.
• Point methods of mechanical and physical antisepsis include d-bridement of the wound, draining, lancing of abscess, vacuumization, and drying.
