is the use of a physical or chemical procedure to destroy all microbial life, including highly resistant bacterial endospores. - the complete killing or removal of all organisms. - can be accomplished by heat, hydrogen peroxide gas, chlorine dioxide gas, plasma, ozone, and radiation. - Steam sterilization using an autoclave is effective as the moisture available in the load is heated under pressure to sterilize the material.
Sterilization
26
Methods of Sterilization:Utilizes pressurized steam at high temperatures (typically 121°C) to achieve sterilization effectively.
Autoclaving (steam sterilization)
27
Methods of Sterilization:Such as ethylene oxide gas or hydrogen peroxide gas.
Chemical methods
28
Methods of Sterilization:Including ionizing radiation for medical instruments.
Radiation
29
is the overall process aimed at making an object or surface safe to handle by removing contaminants such as microorganisms, chemicals, or radioactive substances - The primary objective is to reduce the level of microbial contamination so that infection transmission is eliminated.
Decontamination
30
THREE LEVELS OF INTERVENTION: The initial step that involves the removal of visible dirt and organic matter using soap and water
Cleaning
31
THREE LEVELS OF INTERVENTION: A more advanced process that reduces the number of pathogenic microorganisms to a level considered safe.
Disinfection
32
THREE LEVELS OF INTERVENTION: The final step that ensures complete elimination of all living microorganisms, including bacterial spores
Sterilization
33
To cause or allow (a substance) to run or fall out of a container
Spill
34
3 types of spill
● Biological spill ● Chemical spill ● Mercury spill
35
ACCORDING TO THE SIZE ● Small spill- ● Large spill-
ACCORDING TO THE SIZE ● Small spill- less than 10 ml ● Large spill- greater than 10 ml
36
Spill Control and Spill Preservation: ● Comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration, _________ Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response
OSHA 29CFR 1910.120
37
Type of spill: any uid found in, produced by, or excreted from the human body which includes blood, urine, feces, saliva, tears, etc. ● Considered hazardous and should be dealt immediately.
Biological spill
38
steps to proper blood spill clean up: minor spills use: major spills use:
minor spills use: paper towels major spills use: Klorsept powder
39
apply disinfectant: (disinfectant and minutes) minor spill: major spill:
