This practical guide in surgery is aimed to help you during your medical
training in the different surgical setting such as wards, dressing
rooms, consultation rooms and operative rooms.
asy to read, here you will find when, why and how, different surgical
procedures are applied.
!ife in surgery is not comforta"le if you are a hesitating andconfused
medical student. To get rid of such annoying feelings read the "oo#,
watch carefully what and how the senior surgeons are doing and then
start to practice under supervision.
$ou will soon reali%e that what was cloudy has gone.
$ou will find out in here how to cope with a patient in acute retention of urine
who desperately needs urinary catheteri%ation, how to deal with a
septic wound, what are principles of asepsis and antisepsis upon which
is "ased the surgical procedures and so on.
Read, watch and practice& this is my advice in your 'uest to "ecome a
successful doctor.
1. ASEPSIS AND ANTISEPSIS
Asepsis
A simple definition of asepsis is the absence of any infectious agents.
Surgical asepsis refers to any procedure used to eliminate any
microorganisms.
By the process of sterilization it is achieved sterile medical items which are
used during surgical work.
Aseptic technique means any medical procedure used to prevent
contamination of a person, area or object by microorganisms.
So any surgical work must respect aseptic principles in order to ensure the
safety of the patient and of the surgeon himself.
Sterilization
Sterilization is the process that kills all forms of living matter including
bacteria, viruses and molds with the use of special equipment
employing different physical or chemical agents moist heat, dry heat,
ethylene o!ide gas, gamma irradiation, etc".
#he practical criterion of sterility is the failure of microbiological growth to
appear on tests in suitable bacteriologic media.
Sterile is an object or part of the human body without living organisms on
its surface.
