Cleaning, Sterilization, and Disinfection01:30

Cleaning, Sterilization, and Disinfection

9.7K
Cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization are the methods that help to break the infection chain and prevent disease.
Cleaning
The cleaning process usually involves using water with detergents or enzymatic cleaner and removing foreign material from objects and surfaces, including organic material such as body fluids or inorganic material like soil. Cleaning is performed before high-level disinfection and sterilization because foreign materials on the cover of the devices interfere with process...

Standard Enthalpy of Formation02:37

Standard Enthalpy of Formation

49.0K
Enthalpy changes are typically tabulated for reactions in which both the reactants and products are at the same conditions. A standard state is a commonly accepted set of conditions used as a reference point for the determination of properties under other different conditions. For chemists, the IUPAC standard state refers to materials under a pressure of 1 bar and solutions at 1 M and does not specify a temperature. Many thermochemical tables list values with a standard state of 1 atm. Because...

Nursing Implementation01:15

Nursing Implementation

6.0K
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

Methods of Sterilization II: Chemical Methods

8.9K
In healthcare, the chemical method of sterilization uses chemical sterilants to treat surgical instruments and medical supplies to help prevent the transmission of infectious pathogens to patients. Due to heat sensitivity, most medical supplies and equipment should not be exposed to high temperatures. These parts include rubber, plastic, glass, and other similar elements.
Using chemical sterilization rather than heat to clean out equipment is recommended. It eradicates and removes all bacteria,...

Calculating Standard Free Energy Changes02:49

Calculating Standard Free Energy Changes

24.7K
The free energy change for a reaction that occurs under the standard conditions of 1 bar pressure and at 298 K is called the standard free energy change. Since free energy is a state function, its value depends only on the conditions of the initial and final states of the system. A convenient and common approach to the calculation of free energy changes for physical and chemical reactions is by use of widely available compilations of standard state thermodynamic data. One method involves the...

Methods of Sterilization I: Physical Methods

23.5K
As used in a healthcare facility, sterilization destroys all microorganisms through physical or chemical methods. The physical method includes steam, dry heat, boiling water, and radiation.
Steam sterilization uses non-toxic, low-cost moist heat in the form of saturated steam under pressure, which is fast, microbicidal, and sporicidal, and quickly warms and penetrates fabrics. Autoclaves, or steam sterilizers, expose each item to direct steam contact for a predetermined time at the necessary...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Practice
  • Healthcare Education
  • Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Sterile compounding requires adherence to strict protocols for patient safety.
  • Existing training programs may lack standardization across multihospital systems.
  • Compliance with United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Chapters 797 and 800 is critical.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and implement a standardized sterile compounding training program.
  • To ensure compliance with USP Chapters 797 and 800.
  • To improve sterile compounding practices within a multihospital system.

Main Methods:

  • Collected baseline data from 37 sterile compounding operations.
  • Assessed current personnel via written exams, media-fill tests, and aseptic technique observations.
  • Implemented refresher training (online and in-person) followed by postintervention assessments.
  • Developed and implemented standardized training for new and existing personnel.

Main Results:

  • Statistically significant improvement in written exam scores (P < .0001).
  • Statistically significant improvement in aseptic technique observation scores (P < .0001).
  • Successful implementation of a validated training program across the health system.

Conclusions:

  • A standardized, consistent sterile compounding training program was developed.
  • The program incorporates live, online, and hands-on training components.
  • The program is suitable for both new and existing sterile compounding personnel.
