Reflective Log – Aseptic Technique In this reflection I am going to discuss a procedure that I have carried out whilst I have been on placement and the importance of infection control using the Aspetic Non Touch Technique (ANTT). The procedure I am going to discuss is a dressing change to a leg ulcer which took place during a routine home visit with the community nurse. I am going to use Gibbs Model of Reflection (1988)‚ to reflect on the experience and evaluate my thoughts and feelings of the procedure

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). The Aseptic technique is one

nurses was different. I wanted to research this topic further. Research by Workman (1999) suggests that the use of skin cleansing wipes prior to injection is inconsistent and not necessary if the patient appears to be physically clean and an aseptic technique is used along with thorough hand washing by the nurse. Whilst researching I found that Mallet and Dougherty (2000) agree with the use of skin cleansing wipes. However they adopt this when patients are immunocompromised

other microorganisms that could cause disease. Aseptic techniques refer to a set of skills that are used to ensure any environment being examined or dressed remains free from micro-organisms by not directly touching the wound or any other surface that might come into contact with the wound (McFerran and Martin 2008). Sterilization techniques and effective hand washing technique also play a major role in maintaining aseptic conditions. Aseptic techniques may be adopted in a number of environments including

Aseptic Technique is based on surgical conscience; that is‚ the ethical and professional motivation that regulates a professional’s behaviors regarding disease transmission. (Fuller) All patients are bound to get an infection. Certain situations can increase vulnerability‚ like disturbance of the body’s defenses like contradictions to anesthesia‚ severe burns or an immune disorder. A key difference between the operating room and other clinical environments is that the operating area has high

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
