Decontamination Removing or reducing contamination by infectious organisms or other harmful substances. Decontamination Area location within a healthcare facility designated for collection, retention, and cleaning of soiled and/or contaminated items. Negative air pressure. Workflow the workflow in a central service department is designed to avoid cross-contamination and insure that items efficiently flow through the process from decontamination to storage. Central Service Workflow Decontamination. Preparation/packaging/sterilization. Sterile storage. Preparation/Packaging/Sterilization Area Items are carefully inspected for cleanliness proper function, and defects. Instruments, utensils, and other devices are assembled into sets, and are then packaged and labeled in preparation for sterilization. positive air pressure Sterile Storage The supply area of central service is dedicated to the storage of sterile and clean supplies. Positive air pressure. Case cart system an inventory control system for products/equipment typically used in an operating room that involves use of an enclosed cart generally prepared for one surgical case. Case cart pull sheet / pick list a list of specific supplies, utensils and instruments for a specific procedure. Central service technicians use these lists to assemble the items needed for individual surgical procedures. Negative air pressure the situation that occurs when air flows into a room or area because the pressure in the area is less than that of surrounding areas. Positive air pressure the situation that occurs when air flows out of a room or area because the pressure in the area is greater than that of surrounding areas. Processing cycle Use. Return. Identify. clean. assemble. package. sterilize. store. Deliver. At each step in the process, items are inspected to ensure that they are clean, in good repair, assembled and processed correctly. Standard precautions methods of using appropriate barriers to prevent transmissions of infectious organisms from contact with blood and all other body fluids, non-intact skin, and mucous membranes. applies to all patients, regardless of diagnosis or presumed infectious status.

CR closed reduction. treatment of a fractured bone without a surgical incision. D & C dilation and curettage. dilate the uterine cervix and remove the inner lining of the uterus by scraping with a curette. ORIF open reduction internal fixation. treatment of a fractured bone with an incision and the use of plates and screws or pins to hold the fragments together. TAH total abdominal hysterectomy. surgical removal of the uterus through an incision in the abdomen. THA total hip arthroplasty. hip joint reconstruction. TURP transurethral resection of the prostate. surgical removal of part of the prostate gland by inserting instruments across the urethra to reach the prostate internally. Cell basic unit of life. the smallest structural unit of living organisms capable of performig all basic functions of life. Cell membran outer covering of a cell that regulates what enters and leaves. Cytoplasm the lining matter of a cell between the cell membran and nucleus. Nucleus functional center of a cell that governs activity and heredity. tissue a group of similar cells that perform a specialized funtion. organ a part of the body containing two or more tissues that function together for a specific purpose. Epithelial tissue Skin Connective tissue provides support, stores energy, and connects other tissues and parts. Bones, fat, cartilage. muscular tissue muscle nervous tissue tissue of communication. 9 body systems CN-MURDERS Circulatory. nervous. muscular. urinary and excretory. reproductive. digestive. endocrine. respiratory. skeletal. system group of organs that work together to carry out a specific activity. tendons attaches muscle to bone. ligaments connects bone to another bone. cartilage type of flexible connective tissues ossification process which cartilage is replaced by bone. joint place where 2 bones meet. Types of joints Gliding joints; vertebrae/neck slide over one another. ball and socket; shoulder and hip. pivot joints; turning motion. hinge joints; knees, elbows. covering or lining of a joint synovial membrane. fluid produced and secreted by synovial membrane. synovial fluid 3 types of muscle tissue. Skeletal muscles - attached to bones by tendons. Smooth muscle - involuntary muscles, control breathing, digestive system, blood flow. cardiac muscle - involuntary muscles, heart beat. Nervous system controls all body activities, and allows us to respond to stimuli. Nerve tissue carries electrical messages from the brain and spinal cord that signal muscles to contract. 2 nervous system cells Neurons - carry and transmit information. Neuroglia - support and protect neurons. 3 brain membranes Pia matter - inner membrane. Arachnoid matter - middle membrane. Dura matter - outer membrane. Central nervous system brain & spinal cord. Peripheral nervous system all nerve tissue outside central nervous system. brain main control unit cerebrum large part of brain, controls mental activities and movement. cerebellum 2nd larges part of brain, controls muscle coordination, body balance, and posture. brain stem controls many automatic functions such as heartbeat and breathing. 3 eye layers sclera - white portion. choroid - middle layer, provides nourishment to eye. retina - 3rd layer receive and transmit impressions to brain. Endocrine system made of glands that produce hormones, has profound influence on metabolism, growth, personality, reproduction. Glands of the Endocrine system pituitary gland. thyroid gland. adrenal gland. pancreas. testes. ovaries. urinary and excretory system Pollution control eliminates waste. organs of the urinary system kidneys - remove excess water and waste from blood , yields urine. Ureters - connect kidneys to urinary bladder bladder - holds urine. urethra - connect bladder to outside of body, piss tube. Liver - filters blood to remove amino acids and neutralize toxins. skin - eliminates toxins through sweating. respiratory system supplies body with oxygen and removes carbon dioxide. inspiration inhaling air expiration exhaling air organs of respiratory system Nose. pharynx. trachea. lungs.
