General Prep Tips
Don’t allow solution to pool
i.e. in the belly button (it must be able to dry)
Place absorbent pad below patient to prevent pooling
Remove debris or dirt prior to start of prep
Move proximally then distally for extremity prep
Long sleeves should be worn during prepsSlide8
Sterile Technique Awareness
Keep your front towards the sterile field when passing
Do not reach over the field
Pour solutions at the closest end of the field
Breaks in sterile technique affect wound classifications
Without constant monitoring the field isn’t considered
sterile

each otherSlide9
