general characteristics of a microbe :   a microbe are tiny life forms invisible to the naked and a natural part of the world in which we live. they include nonpathogenic a, parasitic life forms and viruses. in nature microorganisms convert complex organic compunds such as animal and   show the microbial world, accounts for an estimated 60 percent of the total organic matter    
🗑
human -microbe relationships   show , fungi and viruses, and protozoa. indigenous microflora also commonly opportunistic pathogens . under normal circumstances these microbes are harmless , but given an opportunistic such as the ability to enter the body through a surgical or traumatic   wound they become pathogens. the relationship between human host and indigenous microflora is called symbiosis.    
🗑
Pathogens Associated with Surgical Site Infection   show infection control , and public health have broadened the category of these infections to health care - associated infections . these infections may affect not only a patient but also an individual who has contact with the health care faciltiy ,   including health care workers and visitors. HAI's may become apparent during inpatient stay, but as many as 25% of surgical site infection do not become evident until the patient has been discharged from hospital. the most recent cases by the CDC is   show that in 2011 there were 72,0000 HAI's in acute care facilities with 75,000 deaths of hospitalised patients  
🗑
bacteria   show are least complex organisms whose organelles are not membrane bound like those of a eukaryote . bacteria are classified based on specific characteristics that are observed in the lab. the identification of these characterized not only helps in   classifying the bacteria , but also identifies the relationship of the microbes to other microbes and humans .    
🗑
Tuberculosis (TB)   TB is caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis and transmitted through airborne droplet nuclei , usually affects the lungs but it also can affect the kidneys , bone , joints and skin. surgical procedures performed on known TB carriers require implementing   isolation precautions including wearing gloves , protective eyewear , gown and N-95 mask. the patient must be advised of precautions including how he or she can prevent cross- contamination , and must wear a mask if outside of an isolation room.     show
🗑
Viruses   are nonliving particles that are completely reliant on the host cell for survival . the largest virus measures 300nm, approximately the size of a small bacterium an the smallest virus is the poliovirus measuring at 30 nm. characteristics uniuqe to a   virus is : viruses are obligate intracellular parasites, viral replication is directed by the viral nucleic acid within the host cell, viral cells contain either DNA or RNA and a protein coat that encases the nucleic acid, viral cells depend on the   protein production of the host cell; the viral particle does not contain the enzymes required for the production of energy. the DNA or RNA is surrounding by a protein covering called the casipd that is composed of protein molecules called a capsomers .   show
🗑
emerging infectious diseases   humans are more mobile than ever before allowing microorganisms to be easily transmitted on a global basis . this is a major change for the past when there were epidemics of infection now they can be pandemics. another catogery of emerging infectious   show    
🗑
parasites   the study of parasites is called parasitology . there are two types of parasitic human pathogens : unicellular protozoa and multicellular protozoa . common unicellular anaerobic protozoan is Trichomonas vaginalis.   show helminth and arthropod groups belong in the metazoans category and are endoparasites.   Helminths are popularly known as worms. Worms can damage body tissues and organs Helminths also cause intestinal blockage may rupture the intestinal wall if there is a large colony. Abdominal surgical procedure, to remove and repair the internal organs  
🗑
fungi   show Fungal Diseases are called mycoses (plural of mycosis) – Most are opportunistic pathogens and cause disease if patient is immunocompromised. common in HIV/AIDS patients   particular fungal infection, o zygomycosis, caused by a common bread mold. o increase in number of cases of zygomycosis isfollowed the increase in the number of • organ transplants • use of immunosuppressive drugs • antibiotics. • One type o    
🗑
Prevention of Disease Transmission   natural defenses are the skin and mucous membranes, circulatory and chemical responses and the immunity active or passive , innate and adaptive. the CDC defines the evidence -based work practice such as hand hygiene , wearing PPE respiratory hygiene   and cough etiquette and safe handling of contaminated surface in a patient care area.     show
🗑
show are separate guidelines for infection and prevention of cross-contamination of patients when the disease process had been diagnosed . the 4 types of precautions apply to the modes of transportation direct, indirect airborne and droplets. hosptails   might have surgical team members change after cases where patients had MRSA or VRE .      
🗑
methods of transmission   show      
🗑
source pf surgical site infections or SSI"S   are acquired at the time of the procedure , rather than at some point after the surgery , the major sources of microbes causing these of microbes causing these infections can be divided into two groups endogenous and exogenous sources. exogenous   include preoperative, pressonal , the environment , and contaminated instrumentation.     show
🗑
personal   the skin, hair and nares of surgical personnel are reservoirs of bacteria , which can fall from them therefore poses a risk for SSI's. so the proper PPE is required which is gloves, gown , eyewear and botnets.     show  
🗑
environment   is the second source of microbial transmission is environmental both form the fomites and through the air. SSI's have also been documented from such envrioment sources as contaminated antiseptic solutions , wound dressing,   improper sterilization of instruments     show
🗑
show the two primary sources of SSI's risk is to the patient are the endogenous microflora encountered in contaminated procedures and indigenous microflora of the skin. preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis has been show to reduce SSI's. S. areus are a   particular risk of SSI , even in clean procedures carriers ,ave collines of these bacteria living in the deeper laver of their skin making preoperative skin preparation less effective.      
🗑
show age, obesity, general health , carriers of s . aureus or MRSA, remote infections, preoperative hoplizations, pre existing illness and related treatment.   other effects can be DM , maliencay , and immunosuppression. also can be hair removal , type of procedure duration of procedure,      
🗑
surgical conscience   show carry through with this duty has no place in the OR. there can't be no compromise of sterile technique . Surgical conscience requires practices that put the safety and well-being of the patient first , avoiding any lapse in technique that puts the   patient at risk of immediate of physical harm or potential SSI.    
🗑
Disinfection Principles and Disinfecting Agents   show kills everything except sores and CJD , intermediate level disinfection kills organisms and sterilization destroys all microorganisms      
🗑
basic hand washing   step1: turn on faucet and adjust the water temperature, step 2: inspect hands and wrist, step 3: wet hand and wrist , step 4 app soap , step 5 use moderate frication and circle motions, 6 interlace fingers to clean the web spaces,   7 continue washing for seconds to a minute , step 8 rinse, step 9 get paper towel to dry hands , and 10 is to throw way paper towel.   show

modes of transmission   contact: direct, indirect , droplet 0.5mm , and airborne spread 0.5mm   show
