(in this case, with cautery)
Separating Abdominal muscles with
fingers
Opening the peritoneum
Stretching the Abdominal Wall

part out of uterus through the abdominal incision
Head is delivered by hand
or, by vacuum assistance
The trunk and lower extremities follow. After the
cord is clamped, the baby is suctioned and handed to
the newborn team. Collection of the cord blood
sample follows.
Removal of placenta and amniotic membranes
Exploration of uterus to insure complete
Removal of tissue
Uterine incision is closed in one or two
layers
Fascia is closed
Skin is closed with suture,
staples, or glue

Class I: Clean wound: Gastrointestinal (GI),
genitourinary(GU), or respiratory track is
not entered.
Class II: Clean contaminated: The GI, GU, or
respiratory track is entered under
planned, controlled means.
Class III: Contaminated Wound: Gross
contamination is present but obvious
infection is not present.

Microorganisms that cause disease
Can you name a few?
• MRSA
• E-Coli
• Pseudomonas
• Strep
Sources of Infection
• Endogenous: From the patient’s own body
• Exogenous: Outside the body
Nosocomial Infections: Hospital Acquired Infections (HAI)
• 1 in 20 patients
Surgical Site Infections (SSI)
• 1-3 in 100 patients
The Patient-Internal Factors
• Lifestyle Choices
• Nutritional Status
• Age
• Existing Disease
• Acute Illness
External Factors-presence
of others
• Movement
• Talking
• Attendance
• Security
Surgical attire
• Laundered by facility-approved laundry service
• Replaced daily or when soiled
• Loose fitting tops are tucked in
• Non-scrubbed personnel – long jackets buttoned
or closed.
**Personal clothing that extends beyond the neck or
sleeves of the scrub attire are not worn.**
What Else?
• Doors kept closed
• Personnel kept to a minimum
• Room is Cleaned before, during, and after
cases

AORN Perioperative Standards
and Recommended Practices
The single most important step
in the prevention of infection
The Targets: Microorganisms
Transient : Accumulate during activities of the day.
Found on the surface of hands
Resident : More permanent dwellers. Found in the
deeper layers.
Methods:
• Hand Washing
Washing with soap and water for at least
15 seconds
• Antiseptic Hand Wash
Hand wash performed with a product
Intended to decrease the resident and
transient flora
• Antiseptic Hand Rub
An alcohol containing agent which is applied
to the hands to decrease the resident and
transient flora
• Surgical Hand Antisepsis Wash or rub performed before surgery to
eliminate transient microorganisms and
significantly reduce resident organisms.
Condition and cleanliness:
• Natural fingernails: < ¼ inch long
• No rings, watches, or other jewelry
up to elbows.
• Free of damage

The practices by which contamination
from microorganisms is prevented
( Spry, 2009, p. 95)
Aseptic: The absence of all disease
causing microorganisms.
Synonym:
Sterile
Modes of Contamination:
• Airborne: Transmitted through the air
small particles
• Droplet: Sneezing, Talking, Coughing
slightly larger particles
• Contact: Touching
• Direct: Touching infected patient
• Indirect: Touching something in contact with
Patient
Methods to Prevent
Contamination
• Surgical Attire
• Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE)
Principles of Asepsis
1. Scrubbed persons function within a sterile
field
2. Sterile drapes are used to create a sterile field
3. All items used within a sterile field must be sterile
4. All items introduced onto a sterile field should be
opened, dispensed, and transferred by methods
that maintain sterility and integrity.
Continued. . .
5. A sterile field should be maintained and monitored
constantly
6. All personnel moving within or around a sterile
field should do so in a manner to maintain the sterile
field
7. Policies and procedures for maintaining a sterile field
should be written, reviewed annually, and readily
available within the practice setting.

Recommended
Practices for Surgical
Attire
AORN Perioperative Standards
and Recommended Practices
The use of specific actions and activities
to prevent contamination and maintain
sterility of identified areas during
operative or other invasive procedures
“First, do no harm”
Basic:
• Clean scrub attire
• Surgical Head Covers
• Personal Protective Equipment
More Advanced:
• Sterile Gowns
• Sterile Gloves
• Creating and Maintaining a Sterile Field
Sterile drapes, gowns, and gloves
are intended to create a barrier
Are your gowns, gloves, and supplies
free from damage???
Sterile Gowning and Gloving
Sleeve cuffs
Are Unsterile once
Hands have passed
through
Gown is considered
sterile from the chest
to the level of the sterile
field
Gown sleeves are sterile
from two inches above
the elbow to the cuff
Neckline
Axillary regions
Shoulders
Are ALL Unsterile
Gloving yourself or
Gloving another. . .
It’s all going to take some time
I recommend Practice,
Practice, Practice!!!
Sterile Field:
:
The area . . . surrounding a body site that
has been prepared for an invasive procedure
covered by sterile drapes or sterile attire.

• Furniture
• Personnel

Practices for Sterile
Technique
AORN Perioperative Standards
and Recommended Practices
Goal:
Reduce the risk of post operative surgical
site infection
• Removing debris, soil, and transient microorganisms
• Reduce resident microbial count
• Inhibit rapid rebound growth of microorganisms
Hair Removal
Research indicates that preoperative shaving
increases the risk of surgical site infections
**Patients should be instructed NOT to shave surgical
site the day before or day of surgery**
So, what are our options?
• With Clippers
• Only at the operative site
• Outside of the OR
• Only if necessary
Antisepsis:
The prevention of sepsis
by preventing or inhibiting the growth of
resident and transient microbes
Basics of Skin Preparation
For our patients:
Umbilicus is cleaned
