Surgical antisepsis

Surgical antisepsis involves using techniques and materials to prevent infection during surgeries. It includes cleaning the skin thoroughly with antiseptic solutions, sterilizing instruments to eliminate all microorganisms, and maintaining a sterile environment in the operating room. The goal is to create a sterile field and reduce the risk of bacteria or other germs entering the body, which could cause infections and complications. Proper antiseptic practices are essential for patient safety, promoting healing, and preventing postoperative infections.
