2.02 Understand infection control procedures

8. Methods used to control the spread of infection Aseptic Control
Antisepsis
Stops the growth and spread of pathogens.
Not effective against spores or viruses
safe to be used on skin-
Examples- Hand washing, hand sanitizer,
Antimicrobial solution (betadine/ alcohol) before a surgical procedure.
Handwashing is the most effective
technique

9. Methods used to control the spread of infection Aseptic Control
Disinfection
destroys pathogenic organisms that are already present
not always effective against spores or viruses
not used on skin, used on objects- equipment in rooms such as IV poles, bed, tables
chemicals are used- bleach,
Alcohol, Caviwipes, other chemicals.
