Cleaning and Decontamination in Hospitals.pptxAhmad Thanin
Cleaning and decontamination procedures in hospitals should be based on infection risk. This depends on likelihood of contamination, patient vulnerability, and surfaces' potential for exposure. There are three levels of decontamination: cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization. Cleaning removes organic matter but not necessarily pathogens. Disinfection reduces but may not kill all microorganisms. Different areas require different cleaning depending on activities. High-touch surfaces like bed rails require more frequent cleaning than low-touch surfaces.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
