Which of the following practices is essential to maintain a sterile environment during a surgical procedure?
Hand washing before the procedure
Double gloving throughout the procedure
Keeping all objects within a sterile field
Wearing gloves at all times
Sterility in surgical asepsis is maintained by keeping all objects within a sterile field. Any contact with non-sterile objects would contaminate the field, breaking the aseptic technique. Wearing gloves, while important for both clean and sterile procedures, is not sufficient in itself to maintain a sterile environment. Double gloving and changing gloves frequently also protect against contamination but do not guarantee sterility. Hand washing is a critical part of preventing infection but does not alone maintain a sterile field during surgical interventions.
