*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
There is a motto in medicine which says that it is always easier to prevent, than to treat. Educational programs, such as an aseptic techniques course are based on this very principle: the importance of preventing diseases from occurring rather than treating them. Below you will find the top things you will learn during an aseptic techniques course. The exact curriculum of a course may differ according to who is providing the training program but, in general, the following topics will be covered:
� In the introductory portion of a typical aseptic techniques course, you will get familiarized with the definition of the term �asepsis�. Asepsis represents a state of being free of any living microorganisms that may cause diseases.
� Following, attendees will be able to learn more about what aseptic techniques are and in which way they differ from other �cleaning� procedures within a medical setting, such as sanitation and disinfection. Basically, aseptic techniques are a set of standardized practices or procedures performed in very specific conditions and which are more efficient than other practices in getting rid of microorganisms.
� Next, participants will have the opportunity to learn about the purpose of aseptic techniques and where they are especially important: operating rooms, laboratories, and so on. The main goal of such a technique is to obtain a clinical environment which is completely free of disease producing microorganisms.
� People attending an aseptic techniques course will learn about the various types of microorganisms that can spread in the absence of proper sterilization, such as viruses, bacteria, or fungi. The methods in which these pathogens spread (blood borne, or air borne) are also briefly presented so that participants can better understand the purpose and the scope of adequate aseptic techniques.
� An educational course will present the principles of the main aseptic techniques, such as proper scrubbing, adequate hand hygiene, equipment decontamination, and the importance of wearing adequate personal protective equipment (gloves, gowns).
� Participants will learn the main methods of applying aseptic techniques through the use of medical devices. Aseptic techniques are based on a set of standards, and all employees working in the health care system have to follow them accurately, so as to ensure the best possible results.
� By the end of an aseptic techniques course, participants should be able to understand how they are required to act in a medical setting so as to avoid both contaminating themselves and those around them: patients or colleagues.
There are the top things anyone can learn during an aseptic techniques training course. This type of educational program is highly efficient in teaching people how to prevent the spread of infections, so anyone working in the health care system should definitely attend one. Before choosing to attend such a course, make sure you check the training schedule to see if all the points presented above are covered in that specific program. In this way, you will ensure that you will be getting the best type of training possible.
