IntroductionDescription Objectives
DescriptionInfection Prevention in Surgical Setting is one of important preventive methods in order to achieve infection control in clinical and surgical practices.
ObjectivesThe aims of this method are :
To minimize surgical site infectionTo protect health personnelTo improve wound healingTo minimize disability, morbidity, & mortalityTo reduce the cost of hospital care
Specific Learning Objectives :To describe the definition and history of sterilization, disinfection, decontamination, anti and a - septic techniques.To describe six methods of sterilization.To describe three categories of surgical instrumentsTo describe 6 rules of aseptic techniques
Specific Learning Objectives :To perform aseptic techniques correctly, including (P5):
Applying surgical attireHand washingSurgical scrubbingGlovingSurgical Gowning
Definition:Sterilization : Processes by which all pathogenic & non pathogenic microorganisms, including spores, are killed.
Disinfection: Chemical or physical process of destroying all pathogenic microorganisms, except spore bearing ones; used for inanimate objects, but not on tissues.
Definition:Decontamination : Process or method by which all contaminated materials that can cause diseases are removed.
Aseptic techniques : Methods by which contamination with microorganisms is prevented.Antiseptic techniques: Prevention of sepsis by the exclusion, destruction, or inhibition of growth and multiplication of microorganisms from body tissues and fluids.
Infection Control
Why should we apply a and antiseptic techniques ?
Historical backgrounds :Ignas Sammelweis (1818 - 1865)Puerperal fever increased maternal mortalityHand scrub with chlorinated-lime solution prior to examination.Father of nosocomial infection.
Louis Pasteur (1860)Discover the process of fermentation by microorganismsGerm theory: against spontaneous generation theory.
Historical backgrounds :Joseph Lister (1865)Use carbolic acid solution on surgical dressing in the operating room mortality (Listerization)Father of modern surgery (Antiseptic technique)
Ernst Von Bergmann (1886)Introduced steam sterilizerBasic of sterilization aseptic techniqueLater: pressure & vacuum steam sterilizer was developed

SterilizationThe objective of modern surgeryFor inanimate objectsProblem :Some items are not heat resistance
Techniques of SterilizationPhysical:HeatRadiation/ ultraviolet rayBoiling waterUltrasoundChemical:LiquidGas
Heat SterilizationDry : Commonly cause damageFor powder, oils, and jellyMoist :SteamHigh pressure spores Vacuum constant temperatureAutoclave
Chemical SterilizationGenerally as disinfectionMechanism of action :Protein coagulationEnzyme denaturation in cellsLysis
Depend on : number of microorganisms, soiling, concentration, and temperature.
Solutions Jodium and JodophorGood bactericide, but irritantMixture : povidone-jodine 10%Alcohol Solution of 70% or 90%
Glutaraldehyde (Formaldehyde Sol. in Alcohol 2%)Spores are killed within 3 hours
SolutionsHexachloropene (Halogenated phenol)Bacterio-static, particularly Gram (+) bacteriaFor scrubbing
Chlorhexidine gluconateBactericide : Gram (+) & (-).Good for antiseptic
Gas SterilizationFormaldehydeEthilene-oxide- propionolactone
Boiling WaterMild boilingVigorous boiling
More active, if 2% sodium-carbonate or 0,1 % sodium-hydroxide being added

Traffic patterns of Operating TheatreThe use of aseptic principles requires regulation of traffic and flow patterns of the personnel, patient, equipment, and supplies in operating theatre
Aims : to protect the safety and privacy of patients and the cleanliness and integrity of the environment.

Hand washingIndications:
Between patient contactsBefore performing or assisting with invasive proceduresBefore taking care of particularly susceptible patientsBefore and after touching woundsImmediately after gloves are removed
Hand washingBefore and after performing sterile procedures
After contact with blood or body substances, mucous membranes, soiled linen, waste, or contaminated equipment.
Between tasks at different body sites on the same patient to prevent cross contamination
After taking care of infected patient
After touching contaminated inanimate sources
Hand washingPreparationThe procedure
Surgical Scrubbing Procedure
Purposes:To remove debris and transient organisms from the nails, hands, and forearms.
To reduce the resident microbial count to a minimum.
To inhibit rapid rebound growth of microorganisms.
Purposes:To minimize the re-growth of microorganisms for the length of the procedure.
To reduce the numbers of microorganisms on hands
To reduce contamination of the operative site by recognized or unrecognized breaks in surgical gloves.
Preparation:
Recognizing glove sizes
Actual procedure: Strokes techniqueRinsing hands & armsScrubbing with antiseptic solutionRinsing armsScrubbing with brush or spongeRinsing armsScrubbing with antiseptic solutionDrying arms
Actual procedure: Five minute technique
Gowning
The goal:
to ensure a safe, protective, and aseptic environment to the patient and the surgical team.
Gowning & closed gloving techniques
Drying hands with sterile towel
Applying gown
Closed gloving technique
The final step of the aseptic techniques before performing surgery. Sterile gloves are worn to permit the wearer to handle sterile supplies or tissues of the operative wound.
Sterile gloves establish a shield that protects the patient from contamination by flora from the hands of health care workers.
Open technique
Closed technique
Skin preparationThe goals: to cleanse the skin and bring both the resident and transient bacterial counts to an irreducible minimum, therefore reducing the risk of wound contamination and subsequent surgical site infection.
