KNOWLEDGE OF TECHNICIANS REGARDING THE PREVENTION OF SURGICAL SITE INFECTIONS

I feel that Surgical Site Infection is a problem that can happen after a surgery. When germs get into the cut or the area that was operated on Surgical Site Infection can slow down the healing process. Surgical Site Infection can make patients stay in the hospital longer increase costs and cause issues. I know that OT Technicians help stop Surgical Site Infection by making sure everything is in the place. OT Technicians use the methods sterilize tools properly wash hands thoroughly and keep the operating theatre clean. OT Technicians understanding of how to stop infections is important, for safety. We talk about OT Technicians understanding of how to stop Surgical Site Infection from happening. The research paper uses published studies and accepted infection prevention guidelines. The research paper shows that having knowledge and using these practices consistently can make the operating theatre safer and improve the quality of care.
