Contribute Conclusion But literally, when I first bring my patient in, I've just got some standard gloves on, my apron on, I will remove all of the dressing from the patient and then I will change my gloves, wash my hands in between, put my sterile gloves on. And that's when I will clean my patient's wound down, making sure I've got the sterile gloves, nothing else is touching that wound that's not sterile and doing that as best as I can because the last thing you want is something getting infected and then them getting sepsis and then them needing hospital admissions and potentially dying as a result. So as best as I can, I'm managing that out there in my clinics. And word of warning, sometimes you can do everything you can to keep it as clean as possible and it will still get infected. So I've had patients before that have took their own dressings off. Healthcare associated infections are infections that occur whilst receiving health care from somebody. So this is why it's really, really important to do aseptic technique. This is really high statistics, and again, really important. We shouldn't be letting this happen. An aseptic technique is something we always use when we do wound dressings.
