Q

refined clean

Q

clean/contaminated

A

The gastrointestinal, respiratory, or genitourinary tract is entered under controlled conditions.

The spillage of contents or contamination is judged to be
minor. In studies of human patients, the infection rate is
3% - 11%.

Q

contaminated

A

There is a major break in aseptic technique.

Acute, nonpurulent inflammation is present

There is gross spillage of acute viscus. Examples: fresh, open, traumatic wounds are included in this category. For humans, the risk of infection with this category of wound is 10%-17%.

Anaerobic bacteria looks and smells like

A

found smelling- sulfur

17
Q

cryo causes death by

A

direct and indirect injury

18
Q

how does indirect cryo injury work

A

causes anoxia and death

attacks endothelial tissue, cause leakiness and clotting which cuts off blood supply

vascular stasis (capillary level)

19
Q

direct cryo injury is by

A

ice crystal form inside cells and cause damage- thermal shock and apoptosis

overwhelming cellular pathology

20
Q

— part of the cell are most susceptible to rapid freezing

A

mitochondria

21
Q

recrystallization

A

small crystals form into bigger crystals during second rapid cooling phase

22
Q

cytoskeletal disassembly occurs during

A

hypothermia

23
Q

hyper or hypo osmolarity during frozen state?

A

hyper

24
Q

monopolar or bipolar use ground plate

A

monopolar

25
Q

when to use bipolar

A

plastic and neurosurgical

areas where you want to limit injury to surrounding tissues

26
Q

benefits of elctrocautery

A

saves time
decreased blood loss

arteries up to 1 mm
veins up to 2 mm
