Asepsis - it is an important concept in medicine

Asepsis - a whole range of measures, which aims to prevent the ingress of microorganisms into the wound.He offered his German surgeon by the name of Bergman.That it can be called "father" of aseptic technique.

Today this range of activities is quite extensive.The main way to prevent infection in the wound of the patient is cleaning.Now it are 4 varieties:

  1. preliminary;
  2. current;
  3. final;
  4. ventilation.

Pre-cleaning is done in the morning, before the start of surgery.It is with this and start all aseptic.Napkins alcohol are the primary means of pre-cleaning.The event includes wiping all horizontal surfaces.

Current cleaning is carried out directly during surgery.It lies in the fact that all objects fall to the floor cleaned in the shortest time.

Final cleaning is carried out after the end of the trading day.This is done wiping floors disinfectants.Subsequently include UV lamps, allowing to destroy harmful microorganisms in areas of maximum accumulation.

Oddly enough, but one of the most effectiv

e methods of cleaning a conventional ventilation.After a number of harmful flora becomes less than 70%, and sometimes at all 80%.

Previously it was thought that the microflora in the air is not able to cause the development of diseases in the operated patients.Gradually developing, aseptic is denied.It has been found that the cleaning air from bacteria can significantly reduce the probability of septic complications.The result was a very topical quantification of pathogenic microorganisms in the air.According to this indicator in the future we have begun to separate operating into several classes:

  • Operating designed for conventional surgery.Here the number of microbial cells per 1 cubic meter of space is less than 300. For example, aseptic and antiseptic in dentistry, proctology, gastroenterology, purulent surgery allows the use of just such premises.Operating
  • used for surgical interventions in the cardiovascular system.The number of microbial cells per 1 cubic meter of space is not to exceed 120.
  • Operating with an absolute asepsis.Here are trying to reduce the number of microbial cells to the level of no more than 5. For such operating aseptic - is hourly an extensive range of activities.The room is created increased pressure, resulting in the air tends to leave it, taking with them the germs.Entrance to such transaction is a special gateway, where the staff is thoroughly processed.

As it became clear from the written, aseptic - it really is an important concept for medicine, has great prospects.Thus already at this stage, there is a definite differentiation into different sections of it.The result is now asepsis and antisepsis in dentistry - is not the same as in abdominal surgery.
