LEVELS OF ASEPSIS

Antisepsis- prevent the growth or inhibit growth of pathogenic organisms but are NOT effective against spores and viruses.

* Safe on skin.

* Examples- antiseptic soap, alcohol, etc.

HANDWASHING

• Best way to limit microorganisms

• Soap used as a cleansing agent because it aids in the removal of germs through its sudsy action. Pathogens are trapped in soapsuds and rinsed away. Friction rubs off the pathogens.

• Use liquid soap whenever possible. Bar soap harbors microbes.

• Use warm water. Hot damages skin. Cold does not make lather as well.

HANDWASHING

Times handwashing is a must:

• When you arrive and before you leave work

• Before and after every patient

• Any time your hands become contaminated

• Before applying gloves and immediately after removal of gloves

• Before and after handling a specimen

• After dropping something on the floor

• After going to the bathroom

• After you sneeze or cough or use a tissue

• Before and after contact with your mouth or eyes
