the ‘Aseptic Technique’. For procedures such as pressure sores‚ leg ulcers‚ simple grazes’ removing drains or sutures‚ the ‘clean technique’ is used which is a modified aseptic technique and aims to avoid introducing micro organisms to a susceptible site and also to prevent cross contamination to patients and staff‚ it differs from an aseptic technique‚ as the use of sterile equipment and the environment are not as crucial as would be required for asepsis (Gough 2009).

13 Principle of Asepsis The 13 Principles of asepsis is a basic knowledge that a nursing student should always remember when preparing for an operation and when working during an operation. Since Asepsis means the absence of pathogens‚ these 13 principles of asepsis is not only applicable when there is an operation but it should be observe in situations where there is a need to maintain the sterility of certain articles and to maintain a sterile environment. 13 Principles of Asepsis 1.

Introduction: Microbes‚ also called microorganisms‚ are minutes living things that individually are usually too small to be seen with the unaided eye. The group includes bacteria‚ fungi (yeast and molds)‚ protozoa and microscopic algae. It also includes viruses‚ those noncellular entities sometimes regarded as straddling the border between life and nonlife. People tend to related these microbes only with major disease such as AIDS‚ uncomfortable infections‚ or such common inconveniences as spoiled

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

Hand Hygiene and Aseptic Technique Keira L. Charles NURS 410: Health Deviation II Latricia Greggs‚ PhD‚ RN‚ November 17‚ 2014 Asepsis is the state of being free from living pathogenic microorganisms. Practicing hand hygiene and aseptic technique is effective in reducing the risk of associated infections in the hospital setting‚ but the adherence among health care workers are poor. Hand washing causes a significant reduction in the carriage of potential pathogens on the hands. Adhering to

In this case a pure culture of an unknown organism was introduced to a sterile medium of Phenol Red Glucose Broth Durham. The culture was obtained from a 52-year old male truck driver who is complaining

{draw:frame} Aseptic technique was developed by Joseph Lister in 1867. He used diluted phenol to cleanse surgical wounds and equipment. He also used carbolic acid aerosol to prevent harmful microorganisms from entering the surgical field or contaminating the patient. Aseptic technique includes hand washing‚ the use of sterile gloves‚ mask‚ and gowns‚ sterilization of surgical instruments and other equipment‚ and the use of disinfectants‚ including antiseptics. The definition of asepsis is: 1)
