Introduction
    Aseptic Non-Touch Technique (ANTT) is a method used by the health care workers to treat a patient, avoiding the infection occu
ing from the area of treatment for both the healthcare workers and the patient. The main motive is to maintain a sterile environment, which helps in the reduction of chances of cross-infection. I will use the Gi
’s reflection model to reflect on the topic. I feel that this method of simple dressing is useful and must be followed as an open wound has a higher growth of pathogens and microorganisms, which must be avoided for spreading of further infection in the hospital environment.
Evaluation
    Aseptic technique in the clinical environment includes maintaining the pre-processes of aseptic standards and using certain equipment to avoid the contact with the infected site. This technique should be used when dealing with a wound, surgery, inserting catheter, taking blood samples, inserting channels for transfusions and endotracheal examinations. There are five principles (Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care, 2021), sequencing, risk assessment, pre-procedure-preparation, procedure performing and post-procedure practice. According to Smith and Bayes (2021), often the pre-procedure is not properly followed of washing hand for 30 seconds, using hand gloves and proper sterilisation often not maintained properly which spreads the infection.
Analysis
    The good areas of ANTT are that it helps to maintain the sterility of the environment without affecting the other su
ounding organisms. As mentioned by Clare and Rowley (2018), the proper set-up is very important for aseptic technique, which includes using of hand gloves, personal protective equipment, practices such as washing hands, sterilising the wound area and proper discarding of these. Another good area is that it provides a proper procedure to wound treatment, which stops the further growth of pathogens. As stated by Shettigar, Aradhya, Ramappa, Reddy and Venkatagiri (2021), it is the only way to reduce the other healthcare related infections, which are often severe and life taking. When necessary, proper sterilisation provides quick healing of a wound and gives early relief to the patient reducing the stay time in the hospitals. These processes if maintained also help...
