    The document discusses preventing surgical site infections. The primary goals of the surgical team are to assess patient risk, clean the environment, sterilize instruments, provide antibiotic prophylaxis, and use standard precautions. Maintaining asepsis and a sterile field is aimed at preventing microorganisms from contaminating surgical wounds by following aseptic principles. The key principles are knowing what is sterile and unsterile, keeping them separate, remedying any contamination immediately, and not compromising on sterility when in doubt.
