Hand hygiene

5.3K
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.

Physical Methods for Controlling Microbial Growth: Radiation and Filtration

1.8K
Radiation and filtration are essential tools for microbial control, targeting microorganisms through distinct mechanisms. Radiation eliminates microbes by damaging their DNA, either killing them or inhibiting their growth. Based on wavelength, radiation is classified into two types: nonionizing and ionizing radiation.Non-ionizing radiation, such as UV radiation (200–400 nm), is absorbed by DNA, causing defects that effectively disinfect surfaces, air, and water, including safety cabinets.

Chemical Agents for Microbial Control

1.6K
Chemicals play important roles in controlling microbial growth by targeting microbial structures and functions as sanitizers, antiseptics, disinfectants, and sterilants.Alcohols are commonly used sanitizers, effectively disrupting lipid membranes, which compromises cell integrity. They are also used as antiseptics and disinfectants due to their rapid action and versatility.Phenols and their derivatives phenolics , known for denaturing proteins and disrupting cell membranes, are particularly...

Area of Science:

  • Minimally invasive surgery
  • Surgical instrumentation
  • Laparoscopy

Background:

  • Minimally invasive lens cleaning is a persistent surgical challenge.
  • Current cleaning devices are often costly, disruptive, or lack universal efficacy.
  • There is a need for efficient and effective minimally invasive lens cleaning solutions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the clinical efficacy of a novel minimally invasive lens cleaner.
  • To compare the number and duration of lens cleaning episodes between a novel device and a control device.
  • To assess the impact on operative flow and procedural efficiency.

Main Methods:

  • A comparative study involving patients undergoing laparoscopic procedures (April-July 2025).
  • Two groups were compared: a control group using Clearify© and an experimental group using the novel device.
  • Key metrics included the number of laparoscope removals for cleaning and the total cleaning time per case, analyzed using a t-test (P < .05 significance).

Main Results:

  • The novel device significantly reduced the mean number of cleaning episodes per case in bariatric and foregut procedures (P < .05).
  • Total operative time per case was significantly shorter in the experimental group compared to the control group (P < .05).
  • The novel cleaner was effective for 5 mm and 10 mm angled laparoscopes, and operative time did not affect cleaning frequency in the experimental group.

Conclusions:

  • The novel minimally invasive lens cleaner is clinically effective.
  • It significantly decreases lens cleaning episodes and total cleaning time.
  • The device enhances procedural efficiency by maintaining a clear operative view and reducing disruptions.
