PRINCIPLES OF ASEPTIC TECHNIQUE

I. OR personnel must practice strict Standard Precautions (i.e., blood and body substance isolation)

II. All items used in the sterile field must be sterile

III. Sterile objects become unsterile when touched by unsterile objects

IV. Sterile items that are out of vision sterile or below the waist level of the nurse are considered unsterile

V. Sterile objects can become unsterile by prolonged exposure to air-born organism

VI. The skin cannot be sterilized and is unsterile

VII. All OR personnel are required to wear specific, clean attire, with the goal of “shedding” the outside environment.

VIII. Any personnel who harbors pathogenic organisms must report themselves unable to be in the OR to protect the client from outside pathogens

IX. Scrubbed personnel wearing sterile attire should touch only sterile items

X. Sterile gowns and sterile drapes have defined borders for sterility.

XI. The circulator and unsterile personnel must stay at the periphery of the of the sterile operating area to keep the sterile area free from contamination

XII. Sterile supplies are unwrapped and delivered by the circulator following specific standard protocol so as not to cause contamination

XIII. The utmost caution and vigilance must be used when handling sterile fluids to prevent splashing or spillage

XIV. Anything that is used for one client must be discarded or, in some cases, resterilized

Medical Hand washing is the mechanical removal of microorganisms from the hands and forearm with the use of soap and water.

Equipments Used:1. bath soap in a soap dish

2. nail stick3. hand towel

Points To Remember:1. Jewelries must not be worn except for plain wedding rings for married individuals.

2. Fingernails should be short trimmed.3. Fold sleeves approximately 2-3 inches from the elbows before starting the procedure.

Procedure:1. Approach the sink. Stand in a comfortable position, leaning slightly towards but not touching

the sink. This is to reduce the number of microorganisms and less contamination. Maintain body mechanics.

2. Turn on the faucet. Take the necessary precautions not to wet your clothes. 

3. Wet arms from elbows down to the fingertips, one after the other. Put your hands on down position without touching any part of the sink. Hands are the most contaminated part to be

washed. Water flows from least to most contaminated area, rinsing microorganisms to the sink.

4. Get the soap. Wet with water and make a good lather. Use of antiseptic exclusively can be drying to hands and can cause skin irritation. The decision whether to use an antiseptic should

depend on the procedure to be performed and the clients immune system. Rinse soap and return it without touching the soap dish. Close the faucet.

5. Apply soap lather, starting from the elbow down to the wrist with strong rubbing and rotary sensation. Soap cleanses by emulsifying fat and oil and lowering surface tension. friction and

rubbing mechanically lessens and removes dirt and terminates bacterias. Repeat the procedure with the other arm. Pay particular attention to the palms, inter-digital areas, knuckles and the

dorsal part of the hands.

6. Get the nail stick and clean the subungual areas, from the farthest to the nearest digit. Area under the nail can be highly contaminated which will increase the risk of infection for the client.

Discard the nail stick. 

7. Soap the handle of the faucet and open it. Direct running water so that it flows from the elbows down to the fingertips. Do the same with the other arm.

8. Rinse arms for the second time with strong rotary motion. Put particular attention to the palms, dorsal parts of the hands and the subungual areas.

9. Rinse the handle of the faucet and close it. Drain water from the elbow to the fingertips by placing your hands on down position.

10. Inspect knuckles for presence of excess soap and dirt. If so, repeat the procedure. If none proceed to the next step.

11. Pat hands dry with towel from fingertips to elbows. Drying from the cleanest to least clean

area.

12. Fold sides of the towel lengthwise inward, then fold crosswise and hang it with the smooth side facing you. This is to prevent transfer of microorganisms.
