simple wound dressing  

You have to assess the extent of wound to know how much materials to use

Thanks for the feedback. One thing to be corrected here is there should have been hand hygiene before donning the gloves. But you should know a patient is not a 'contaminated object' that anytime you touch him/her you must be in gloves. If the part you are touching, especially the skin, has no lesion that will risk spread of infection to or from the patient then you can touch with bare hands. If you will always wear gloves anytime you touch a patient then you aren't handling him/her as a human.

​@@nursingart247well said. 👍

In wound dressing, you can use either sterile gloved hands or sterile instruments. I have videos on both. In this video the nurse is using sterile gloves (its not bare hands), while here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jActD_dOYag.htmlsi=X6gbJcGwgHYh2g2b the nurse used instruments. Check here too ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3izgObPDUGc.html for how to handle the instruments in dressing wounds.

Yes that truth

Check here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-odoFQe3b9ZY.html for the items used. Explanation of the steps will be uploaded soon.

Tell me more about sterile wound dressing

Noted. These beds aren't adjustable that way.

I go on my knees or sit on a lot chair or even on patients beds for certain interventions

Lot = low

U can use sterile gloved hands or sterile instrument to dress wound. Any is accepted. Check my video on wound dressing without assistance u will see in that the nurse used instruments.

​@@nursingart247some country dont practise the way u do because we think that its aldy contaminated

Noted but when height of the bed cannot be adjusted what will you do?

Normal saline and iodine

It should be from inside to outside precisely cleaner part before the less cleaner part to reduce the risk of contaminating the inside/cleaner part.

No ma'am you clean inside to outside Not outside to inside To avoid cross Infection

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-odoFQe3b9ZY.htmlsi=D7iZuvKQVQymsVL5 The items are in the video with the above link

You can use either forceps or gloved hands. Check this for the forceps in use ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jActD_dOYag.html

At what point pls?

That's a good observation. The hand washing was outside the video coverage so it was written as a subtitle just before opening the top shelf. Also take note that hand washing/hand hygiene is always done before and after donning gloves as well (that wasn't done in the video too). As for opening the Gallipots with the bare hands, it will be better to prepare the sterile field with opened Gallipots since the whole sterile field is covered with a sterile towel ( none the less she didn't touch any material that will come in direct contact with the patient's wound with her bare hands though).

pls watch this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-odoFQe3b9ZY.html

Per the NMC standards in Ghana, you can choose either sterile instruments or sterile gloved hands.

It is dependent on your facility's protocol. And those that use gauze have their rational as well as those that use cotton wool.

@@nursingart247 cotton is no longer in general especially an open wound

Please at which point exactly was asepsis compromised? I want to know where you find misleading

​@@nursingart247 sterile drape was not supposed to be lifted with bare hands and that of opening the galipot *

pls watch this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-odoFQe3b9ZY.html

First she used saline solution to clean the wound Then iodine, I mostly use the Brez brand Then she soaked gauze in iodine and placed on the wound Then dry gauze on the wet gauze with iodine then plaster. Usually I prefer to use vaseline gauze after cleaning before wet gauze with iodine then the plaster.

It was done but was out of the video field that's why it was inserted as a subtitle. Thank u

Noted

Which ointment and where was the sterility compromised?

Povidine iodine.
