Aseptic is an important concept in medicine

Aseptic is a whole complex of measures, which is aimed at preventing the entry of microorganisms into the wound. He was offered by a German surgeon named Bergman. It is his and can be called the "father" of asepsis.

To date, this set of activities is quite extensive. The main way to prevent infection in the patient's wound is cleaning. Now distinguish its four varieties:

1. Preliminary;
2. Current;
3. Final;
4. Aeration.

Preliminary cleaning is carried out from the very morning, even before the beginning of surgical operations. It is with this that all asepsis begins. Alcohol wipes are the main means of pre-cleaning. This activity involves wiping all the horizontal surfaces.

The current cleaning is carried out directly during the surgical operation. It consists in the fact that all objects falling on the floor are cleaned in the shortest possible time.

Final cleaning is made after the end of the business day. In this case, wiping the floors with disinfectant solutions. Later, ultraviolet lamps are switched on , allowing to destroy harmful microorganisms in the places of their maximum accumulation.

Strangely enough, one of the most effective methods of cleaning is the usual airing. After it, the amount of harmful flora becomes less by 70%, and sometimes even by 80%.

Previously, it was believed that the microflora in the air, is not capable of causing disease in the operated patients. Gradually developing, aseptic disproved it. It was found that air purification from bacteria can significantly reduce the likelihood of developing septic complications. As a result, the determination of the number of pathogenic microorganisms in the air became very important. On this indicator in the further began to divide operational on several classes:

• Operational, designed to perform routine surgical interventions. Here the number of microbial bodies per 1 cubic meter of space does not exceed 300. For example, aseptic and antiseptic in dentistry, proctology, gastroenterology, purulent surgery allows the use of such premises.
• Operational, used for surgical interventions in the cardiovascular system. In this case, the number of microbial bodies per cubic meter of space here should not exceed 120.
• Operating with absolute aseptic. Here, try to reduce the number of microbial bodies to a mark of no more than 5. For such operational asepsis is an hourly extensive set of measures. The room creates an increased pressure, resulting in the air tends to leave it, taking with it microbes. The entrance to such operational ones is a special gateway, where the personnel undergoes thorough processing.

As it became clear from the written, the aseptic is really an important concept for medicine, which has great prospects. At the same time, at this stage there is a definite differentiation into its various sections. As a result, aseptic and antiseptic in dentistry are not the same as in abdominal surgery.
