Study Notes
Surgical Instrumentation
Instrument Sterilization
-
Methods of sterilization:
- Autoclaving (steam sterilization)
- Dry heat sterilization
- Ethylene oxide sterilization
- Gamma radiation sterilization
- Hydrogen peroxide gas plasma sterilization
-
Importance of sterilization:
- Prevents transmission of infectious diseases
- Reduces risk of surgical site infections
- Ensures patient safety
-
Sterilization indicators:
- Chemical indicators (e.g. Bowie-Dick test)
- Biological indicators (e.g. Geobacillus stearothermophilus)
Instrument Maintenance
-
Types of instrument maintenance:
- Cleaning: removal of debris and contaminants
- Decontamination: removal of infectious agents
- Sterilization: complete elimination of microorganisms
-
Instrument care:
- Handle instruments carefully to prevent damage
- Store instruments properly to prevent corrosion
- Regularly inspect and maintain instruments
-
Instrument testing:
- Functional testing: ensures instruments are working properly
- Performance testing: ensures instruments meet quality standards
Alma Ata
- Definition: Alma Ata is a declaration adopted by the International Conference on Primary Health Care in 1978
-
Key principles:
- Equity: equal access to healthcare for all
- Community participation: involvement of local communities in healthcare decision-making
- Intersectoral collaboration: collaboration between healthcare and other sectors (e.g. education, agriculture)
- Appropriate technology: use of technology that is suitable for the local context
-
Impact on surgical instrumentation:
- Emphasis on primary healthcare and community-based care may lead to increased demand for surgical instrumentation in resource-limited settings
- Need for affordable, durable, and easy-to-maintain instruments
Medicación
- Definition: Medicación refers to the administration of medication, including during surgical procedures
-
Types of medication:
- Anesthesia: medications used to induce anesthesia
- Analgesia: medications used to manage pain
- Antibiotics: medications used to prevent or treat infections
-
Importance of medication in surgical instrumentation:
- Ensures patient comfort and safety during surgical procedures
- Reduces risk of surgical complications
- Supports effective wound healing and recovery
