Background: Aseptic technique is essential for the prevention of infection during labour epidural procedures. The literature suggests there is significant variability in aseptic practice among clinicians which often depends on personal beliefs rather than scientific evidence. The main objective of this survey was to determine which components of aseptic precautions in labour epidural anesthesia...

aseptic processing is defined as steril product filling in pre-sterilized containers followed by hermetic sealing in a sterile environment. aseptic processing and packaging has made great developments as a flexible and efficient technology for production of sterilizable products in food industries. in this study, the historical developments of the application form processing, sterilization of p...

Editor’s key points † Strict adherence to proper aseptic technique is a mandatory component of safe epidural catheterization. † This study evaluated a teaching video highlighting key steps of a thorough aseptic technique in anaesthesia trainees. † A scoring system was used to quantify compliance and this indicated marked improvement in aseptic practice after instruction. † Good habits, taught e...

conclusions the c genotype should be considered as the prevalent ev71 circulating genotype in iran, particularly in cases of aseptic meningitis. patients and methods viral rna was extracted from 170 cerebrospinal fluid samples obtained from children aged under 8 years with a primary diagnosis of aseptic meningitis. specific ev71 pcr was conducted to identify the genotype of the detected ev71 vi...

This chapter describes common laboratory procedures that can reduce the risk of culture contaminations (sepsis), collectively referred as "aseptic technique." Two major strategies of aseptic work are described: using a Bunsen burner and a laminar flow hood. Both methods are presented in the form of general protocols applicable to a variety of laboratory tasks such as pipetting and dispensing al...
