Aseptic Techniques include precautionary measures that a hospital is required to take to create and maintain an environment that is infection-free. There are two ways that this sterile environment can be developed- through autoclaving (physical process) and gas or heat sterilization (chemical process).
HIPAA has introduced aseptic techniques training as part of its training program for all employees who deal with potentially infected body fluids and are at a risk for exposure. The training will include training the employees about the two processes to achieve a pathogen-free environment. The physical process involves autoclaving, while the chemical process is related to gas sterilization.
The employees are encouraged to strictly follow specific practices and procedures to reach to maintain sterility and keep contamination by pathogens to a minimum. This is what aseptic techniques is all about. It guarantees that no infectious microorganisms are able to the environment. And it is a common fact that microorganisms are a part of the environment we live in; in the air, on the ground, etc.
