Bacteria in mass that have formed a hard protective coating and cannot be eliminated by germicides
Sterile
Absence of microbial life
Sterilization
Complete destruction of microbial matter including spores
Universal precautions
contact with blood and body fluids has potential for infecting exposed individuals
7 Keys of Asepsis
- Knowing what is clean
- Knowing what is contaminated
- Knowing what is sterile
- Keep clean, contaminated, and sterile items separated
- Storage and opening of sterile packages appropriately will help decrease contamination to sterile field and instruments
- Resolve contamination quickly
- Be aware of cross contamination occurrences and their prevention
Chain of infection
- Mode of transmission
- Susceptible host
- Portal of entry
- Reservoir
- Causing agent
- Portal of exit
Susceptible host
When immune system is not functioning effectively and a human cannot fight off a causing agent
Portal of entry
Way the microorganism enters into a new host (mucosal, digestive tract, respiratory tract, eyes, vein punctures
Reservoir
Place of origin of infection or disease
Causing agent
Bacteria, virus, fungi, Protozoa
Portal of exit
Means by which causing agent can escape
Mechanical removal
Hand washing
Irritant contact dermatitis
Dry, flaky, irritated skin: hand washing, not drying properly
Allergic contact dermatitis
Oozing skin blisters 24-48hrs after exposure: chemicals as Nitrile added in latex during harvesting, processing or manufacturing
Latex allergy
Mild to severe skin redness, hives, itching, difficulty breathing, coughing, wheezing, sneezing, runny nose, scratchy throat within minutes of contact
SOAP
Said-what she said when she arrived
Observe-what you observed about your client
Analysis-what you plan to do
Procedure-what you did
Tools, needle group, anesthetic, color, redness or swelling, aftercare, antibiotic, follow up appointment date, took photo
How large are the pigment granules that are deposited on to the skin?
5-6 microns
How far into the dermis is pigment deposited?
.5mm-1.8mm into the skin
Seborrhea
Excessive secretion of sebaceous glands
Comedones
Impacted sebum and keratinised epidermal cells in the hair follicle and show on the surface of the skin as a black dot
Acne Vulgaris
Inflammatory disorder of sebaceous glands in which microbes cause inflammation in the tissue causing papules, pustules, abscesses and cysts to form
Acne rosacea
Chronic inflammation of skin aggravated by extremes in temp, faulty elimination, alcohol and spicy foods
Milia
Accumulation of sebaceous matter beneath the skin; look like small white spot with an overcap of skin
Steatosis
Dry, scaly skin with no or partial deficiency of sebum; found from using certain soaps or washing powders
Bromidrosis or osmidrosis
Foul smelling perspiration
Anidrosis
Lack of perspiration from a fever or skin disease
Hyperidrosis
Excessive perspiration from excessive heat or body weakness
Miliaria rubra or prickly heat
Acute inflammatory disorder of sweat glands by eruption of small red vesicles and accompanied my burning and itching of skin
Basal cell layer
Birth cell layer of the epidermis; these cells go through a process of keratinisation and become stratum corneum
Epidermis
Replaced every 28-40 days through desquamation
Stratum corneum
Horny outer layer of epidermis; keratinized cells continually replaced
Stratum lucidum
Small transparent cells which light can pass through (soles of feet and palms)
Four stages of tissue repair
Coagulation, inflammation, regeneration, maturation
Coagulation
Platelets gather to form a clot, it will crust over into a scab
Inflammation
Destroys bacteria releasing histamine, serotonin, and bradykinin which create blood flow to injured tissue
Reconstruction
Basal cell layer divides and grows
Maturation
As tissue strengthens the tissue reorganizes over the years
Why pigment doesn’t stay #1
If it sits in basal layer and above it will disappear 3-10 days as it exfoliates
Why pigment doesn’t stay #2
Constant exposure to UV light; the lighter the skin, the more fading
Why pigment doesn’t stay #3
Body’s natural defense system influences pigment retention and lymphatic system tries to remove it
Why pigment doesn’t stay #4
Poor aftercare
Why pigment doesn’t stay #5
Influenced by skin type and condition
Bulla
Large blister containing watery fluid
Crust
Scab; an accumulation of serum and pus mixed with epidermal materiel (scab)
Excoriation
Sore or abrasion from scratching
Fissure
Crack in skin penetrating the dermis
Hemotoma
Collection of blood under the skin
stratum granulosum
cells undergoing change into a horny substance called keratin
stratum spinosum
cells that are in the early stages of keratinisation
dermis
sensitive and vascular layer of connective tissue with numerous blood vessels, lymph vessels, nerves, sweat glands, oil glands, hair follicles, erector pili muscles and papillae
papillary layer
beneath the epidermis of loosely woven connective tissue with cone-shaped projections of elastic tissue that point upward into the epidermis; projections called papillae
reticular layer
tightly woven connective tissue that gives support and structure to the skin
matrix
consists of water and a class of molecules called proteoglycans which react instantly to external pressures
subcutaneous tissue
fatty layer below dermis and gives smoothness and contour to the body
why pigment doesn’t stay in the skin
#1- surface skin exfoliates and takes away some of the pigment #2- exposure to UV light, light skin color, #3- lymphatic system attempts to remove foreign matter #4- poor aftercare #5- skin type and general condition of the skin
