Sterilization and Disinfection	2017-03-31		.txt	text/plain	6548	434	49	The medical device or the surgical instrument that comes in contact with the sterile tissue or the mucus membrane of the patient during the various processes is associated with increased risk of introduction of pathogens into the patient's body. Moreover, there is chance of transmission of infection from patient to patient; from patient or to health care personnel, and vice versa; or from the environment to the patient through the improper sterilized or disinfected devices. Patients care equipment are divided into three categories (critical, semicritical, and noncritical) depending on the intended use and risk of transmission of infection. These items do not need sterilization; however, they should be regularly cleaned and disinfected with LLD to decrease the transmission of infective organisms (Table 59 .6). Various recommendations for the prevention of VAP include (1) appropriate cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization of ventilator equipment, (2) maintenance of ventilator circuits, and (3) routine care of patients requiring ventilation.	./cache/cord-278364-58d8kfdf.txt	./txt/cord-278364-58d8kfdf.txt
