QuestionAnswer
prevents or stops the spread of infections in healthcare settingsInfection control
helps in controlling aerosols based viral and microbes transmission by sucking all droplets and mist productsAerosol Suction Unit
Is the use of physical or chemical procedure to destroy all microorganisms including substantial numbers of resistant bacterial spores.STERILIZATION
Physical Agents: can help sterilization through its ultraviolet radiation. UV radiation has germicidal properties, meaning it can destroy the DNA and RNA of microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and fungiSunlight
Physical Agents:it helps sterilization by creating an environment that is inhospitable to many microorganisms.Drying
Physical Agents:flaming, incineration, hot airDry heat
Physical Agents:pasteurization, boiling steam, steam under pressureMoist heat
Physical Agents:candles asbestos padsFiltration
Physical Agents:utilizes ionizing radiation to kill or inactivate microorganisms and achieve sterilization. E.g gamma radiation and E-beam radiationRadiation
Physical Agents:help in sterilization primarily by dislodging and removing debris, contaminants, and microorganisms from surfaces, instruments, and objectsUltrasonic and sonic vibrations
Chemical Agents:examples are isopropyl and ethanol alcoholAlcohols
Chemical Agents:e.g chlorhexidine gluconateHalogens Phenols
Chemical Agents:e.g quaternary ammonium compound also known as quatsSurface active agents
Chemical Agents:e.g silver nitrateMetallic salts
Chemical Agents:e.g ethylene oxideGases
Methods of Sterilization: also known as autoclaving, is one of the most widely used methods for sterilizing medical equipment, laboratory instruments, and other heat-resistant materialsSteam Pressure Sterilization
Methods of Sterilization: method used to sterilize medical instruments and equipment using a chemical sterilizer in the form of a vapor.Chemical Vapor Pressure Sterilization
Methods of Sterilization: relies on the use of chemical agents that produce a vapor phase capable of achieving sterilizationChemical Vapor Pressure Sterilization
Methods of Sterilization: method used to sterilize medical instruments, equipment, and heat-resistant materials by exposing them to high temperatures in the absence of moisture.Dry Heat Sterilization
Methods of Sterilization: relies on the direct transfer of heat to the items being sterilizedDry Heat Sterilization
Methods of Sterilization: method used to sterilize medical devices, instruments, and equipment that are sensitive to heat and moisture.Ethylene Oxide Sterilization
highly effective sterilizing agent capable of killing a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores.Ethylene oxide
