Introduction
Diseases occurring in the abdomen, such as appendicitis, hernias, uterine tumors, etc., often require surgical treatment and must be disinfected according to the standard range for lower abdominal disinfection. Lower abdominal disinfection typically involves using six pieces of gauze with iodine tincture; each disinfection step uses two pieces of gauze, and the disinfection area is progressively reduced with each step to prevent recontamination. It is recommended to visit a正规 hospital and have the procedure performed by a qualified medical professional.
When abdominal diseases such as appendicitis, hernia, or uterine tumors occur, surgery is often required, and disinfection must be performed according to the standard range for lower abdominal procedures. The specific steps are as follows:
1. Position the patient in a supine position and administer general anesthesia.
2. The surgeon performs clockwise disinfection starting from the incision site outward. The upper boundary extends to the level of the costal margin, the lower boundary reaches the upper and middle one-third of the thigh, the mid-axillary lines serve as the lateral boundaries, and disinfection of the genital area is generally performed last.
3. After disinfection is completed, proceed with draping.
For lower abdominal disinfection, six gauze pads are typically used with iodine tincture—two pads per application. The disinfection area is gradually reduced with each application to prevent recontamination. It is recommended to visit a正规 hospital where the procedure can be performed by qualified medical professionals.
