matter
2) Disinfection reduces number of microbes

17. What is wrong with our practices
• Disinfectants used
indiscriminately,
• Used unnecessarily
• Concentration not
adequate
• Economic consideration

18. STERILIZATION
• Sterilization is absolute, removes microbes
and spores too.
• To achieve sterilization is expensive, not
sustainable, many times not needed.
• An effective sterilization reduces the infections
drastically.

19. BASIC CARE OF OT
• Keep the floor clean and
dry-bacteria are reduced
• Keep the mops dry when
not in use
• Don’t use chemicals, use
only when contaminated
with blood &body fluids

vented to the operation
theatre
