ASEPTIC TECHNIQUES AND SOURCES OF MICROBIAL CONTAMINATION. Introduction The spread of infections has come to a point where it has become catastrophic. Aseptic technique is the method used to prevent contamination of infections. It is widely used in hospitals‚ pharmacy‚ and pharmaceutical industries and in laboratories. Different establishments have come up with more ways to improve infection control. In hospitals health care acquired infections are costing the NHS £1 Billion a year and

other microorganisms that could cause disease. Aseptic techniques refer to a set of skills that are used to ensure any environment being examined or dressed remains free from micro-organisms by not directly touching the wound or any other surface that might come into contact with the wound (McFerran and Martin 2008). Sterilization techniques and effective hand washing technique also play a major role in maintaining aseptic conditions. Aseptic techniques may be adopted in a number of environments including

Aseptic Technique is based on surgical conscience; that is‚ the ethical and professional motivation that regulates a professional’s behaviors regarding disease transmission. (Fuller) All patients are bound to get an infection. Certain situations can increase vulnerability‚ like disturbance of the body’s defenses like contradictions to anesthesia‚ severe burns or an immune disorder. A key difference between the operating room and other clinical environments is that the operating area has high

Aseptic technique Michele Pearson‚ Leah Christine Silver‚ and William Jarvis Purpose Aseptic technique is employed to maximize and maintain asepsis‚ the absence of pathogenic organisms‚ in the clinical setting. The goals of aseptic technique are to protect the patient from infection and to prevent the spread of pathogens. Often‚ practices that clean (remove dirt and other impurities)‚ sanitize (reduce the number of microorganisms to safe levels)‚ or disinfect (remove most microorganisms but not
