processing of instrument after use

after using instruments on a patient especially for invasive procedures you should process the items to make them fit (sterile) for reuse. This is done for only reusable instruments. It involves decontamination then boil or autoclave afterwards but only boil or autoclave metallic items after decontamination.
• wearing sterile or sur...

1 part of 5% chlorine to be diluted to 0.5%. Also a question, is it ok to soak oxygen face mask with an EOU set?

[@dominicmbawiniayariga4256]

That's a very great job well done. Just to add that, Apart from the early comments, the picture quality is not good enough. Please if you can improve on it. But generally you guys are doing great.👍👍👍

Why are you not rinsing it under running water

[@nursingart247]

Yes the rinsing should be under running water, but we didn't have running water there. Also this task is performed in a sluice room, which should also be noted. Thank u

[@CelvineAwuorOkumu]

Can use soap in washing

[@JanetNyarkoa-e1j]

Please y didn’t she measure the the chlorine know the right quantity

[@nursingart247]

She used one cup of chlorine (so that is the measured chlorine) and 9 cups of water

[@marykate9540]

Please do we wear utility gloves during washing of instrument? I know we wear single/ disposable gloves

[@nursingart247]

The appropriate one to wear is utility gloves not disposable nor surgical

[@kofiketewa7895]

Utility gloves is the right gloves for the procedure but if you don't have you can improvise Examination gloves instead

[@GraceNartey-qs6gy]

Please she should have mentioned the name of the various instruments under going the process

[@nursingart247]

The processing is done on all none disposable instruments after using for wound dressing or any invasive procedure. In this case they were dressing and dissecting forceps, kidney dish, stitch removing scissors and Gallipots

U pour 1 part of chlorine in 6parts of water

[@nursingart247]

You have to calculate the amount of water needed for the solution (0.5%) by using this formulae
(Stock strength/required strength) - 1. The stock strength used in this video was 5% so at the end it will be 9 parts of water mixed with 1 part of the concentrated chlorine. So if you are using 6parts of water then it is dependent on your stock strength

[@perfectabraworentetu6942]

And moreover may I know what liquid was in the second tray

[@nursingart247]

That's plane water for rinsing. Ideally it should be rinsed u der running water (tap) if there is one.

[@perfectabraworentetu6942]

[@ayebiemavis4946]

[@nursingart247]

Yes. That's the type of gloves for this procedure

[@perfectabraworentetu6942]

Please I didn't see you using the soft brush as you mentioned

[@nursingart247]

Recheck; she used the brush while washing the forceps (after washing the last kidney dish)

[@perfectabraworentetu6942]
