Hand hygiene

Hand hygiene

Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

Assessing Body Temperature - Axilla

Assessing Body Temperature - Axilla

Procedural Guide for Assessing Axillary Body Temperature using a Digital Thermometer:
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and put on clean gloves to maintain infection control and prevent cross-contamination.
Step 2: Prepare the patient by explaining the procedure to ensure understanding and cooperation. Ensure privacy, expose the axilla, and inform the patient that minimal movement is crucial for an accurate reading.
Step 3: Adjust the patient’s clothing to expose only the axilla. It minimizes...

Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Dermatology
Surgical Innovation

Background:

Minimal invasive treatments like liposuction-curettage offer clinical improvement for axillary osmidrosis with low complication rates.
Arthroscopic shavers have emerged as effective tools for osmidrosis treatment, though associated with varying complications.
Previous literature shows limited incidence of skin necrosis and hematoma with liposuction-curettage.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the clinical efficacy and complication profile of using an arthroscopic shaver for axillary osmidrosis treatment.
To evaluate a novel modification involving the preservation of fibrovascular cords during arthroscopic shaving, a technique not previously described.

Main Methods:

Thirty patients with axillary malodor underwent treatment using an arthroscopic shaver over a one-year period.
A key procedural modification involved careful preservation of subcutaneous fibrovascular cords after incision.
Clinical efficacy, complications, and recurrence rates were systematically evaluated post-procedure.

Main Results:

Excellent to good clinical results were achieved in 93% of patients treated with arthroscopic shaving.
A fair clinical outcome was observed in 7% of patients, with no instances of poor efficacy.
No cases of skin necrosis or recurrence were reported during the clinical follow-up period.

Conclusions:

Arthroscopic shaving for axillary osmidrosis can be associated with variable complication rates.
Preserving fibrovascular cords during the procedure protects the epidermis from necrosis, leading to better clinical outcomes.
This refined technique of arthroscopic shaving with cord preservation offers optimal results and reduced complications for osmidrosis treatment.
