Week 3 : Preoperative IntraOp Care Flashcards
what does intraop mean ?
this is area when they left the pre op area and go to the operating room ( surgical room ) or OR
what is operating room often called
surgical theatre
what is the whole focus on perioperative intra op care?
the whole focus here is pt safety
- being safe and pt coming out fine and recover with no infection
what is a surgical suite
another word for operating room
why is it important to know the different type of anesthesia ?
since the pts are waking up from the anaesthetic and you’ll be reliable , so it is crucial to know
True or false. the physical environment of the OR is a very controlled environment.
true
what is the key in the physical environment of the OR
made to minimize infection and equipments are easy to clean
describe what physical environment of the OR is
OR rooms/theatres and the OR “ area/wing” of the hospital
when you think of the people an supplies is it a clean technique or sterile technique ( physical environment of the OR )
it is sterile and try to make this pattern to help be efficient an safe and free of contamination
true or false. * Controlled environment design/physical space – minimize infection & have equipment easy to “clean” fits in the description of the physical environment of the OR
true
how are the air and temp in the OR ?
the air is under positive pressure, so that prevents air from going into the OR ( we want to keep the dirty air outside so its positive pressure )
the temp is kept cool , it’s between 20 to 24 degrees and its kept cool because that decreases bacteria growth
how are the ventilation inside of the OR
ventilation system- they use filters its high efficiency, particular air
these filters are used to control and eliminate things like dust and airborne transmission of micro organism
furniture and lighting inside the OR are east to clean? how is it easy to clean?
yes this is true . this can be moved around and its on wheels and can be adjusted, its made like that so it easier after to clean
how is the humidity inside of the OR
kept at 30% to 60% and that also helps with decreasing bacteria growth, and somehwhat for physical comfort, because surgeons and anesthesiologist can get hot
true or false. in the ventilation system. ventilation system - they use filters its high efficiency particular air
- these filters are used to control and eliminate things like dust and airborne transmission of micro organisms also helps remove the anaesthetic gas and helps remove toxic fumes.
true
are the lighting adjustable as well inside the OR?
yes no shat
what is the materials of the intruments inside the OR made of ? and why is it good?
stainless steel
this is good
- effects of disinfectant because it will be cleaned often during and the supplies are all spread out on a sterile field
what are the 3 main areas in the OR : controlled Access
unrestricted area
semi restricted area
restricted area
describe unrestricted area
1) can be in street clothes
- this would usually be where the perso would be when they just go in their care, the bus into the hospital, going to work
example : front desk, locker room, pt admission area
Areas of the OR : Controlled Access
what is the biggest take way here ?
maximum infection control : in an environment that makes sense for the work that need to hapen
describe what restricted area
surgical attire, cover all hair & surgical mask
no personal belongings
big thing is to derease cross contamination - clean and sterile supplies to be seperated from contaminated supplies and waste
describe semi restricted area
1) must wear surgical attire anf cover all hair
- this includes on the head or bear, peripheral support areas, like a work or storage area for clean and sterile supplies
example : semi restricted is like the cord between the operating room rooms
how do they manage restricted area? name and example
they do this by oragnizing of the layout and flow
so think of space and time and traffic patterns
example. sterile surgical supplies
would this be considered as an example of restricted area : would move from the med device reprocessing department through the clean core area
and into the restricted
supplies that are used in the OR and then contaminated they would covered and transport through the peripheral area back to the med processing room to be decontaminated clean re sterilized
true
