Infection is the establishment and growth of a pathogen inside the human body. Infection control is thus the management of these infections to prevent injury to the patient resulting in disease. In the diagnostic ultrasound department, the

Breaking surgical asepsis subject the patient to several risks such as infection, temporary or permanent complications related to the procedure or the anesthetic, and even death. Surgical asepsis is absence of microorganisms or spores in the surgical environment. The goal of aseptic technique is to protect

However, there must be the reason behind this procedure so I decided to do some research and find out the consequences of poor surgical asepsis for wound management procedure.

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

1. APPLICATION/INTEGRATION OF KNOWLEDGE a. Skills Medical asepsis: I used medical asepsis by properly hand washing for at least 15 minutes using antimicrobial soap, using alcohol based hand-rub, utilizing gloves when appropriate, and handling linens in a way that reduces transmission of microorganisms. I wash my hand or apply hand-rub and wear gloves before administering medications, giving bath or shower to the patient, making bed, and during physical contact if the patient has a skin breakdown
