Michelle Y.

Degracia R.N. ORNAP-CARAGA chapter was formally created last May 29,2010 at Dotties Place, Butuan City. A general assembly was called and attended by different hospital's chief nurses and more than 60 participants join the said assembly. The event graced with ORNAP-NMC's founding officers and advisers namely; Mark Casino R.N. the founding President of ORNAP-NMC, Teofanes Guinita R.N. and Arly Pabl

ico R.N. respectively. Meanwhile, I was invited as a speaker and I was able to share what is ORNAP and how ORNAP-NMC created. It has been known that Butuan, Agusan and Surigao were part of ORNAP-NMC history. They carry the orange and blue colors of the inter-linked chains of our official regional logo that signifies unity among each other. Yellow for the province of Camiguin, green for Bukidnon, gold for Misamis and red for Lanao. For almost 5 strong years we've been together our friendship is inseparable now, that they have finally convened to separate from NMC we're happy for there maturity and wish them well for there endeavors. Rest assured that the linked between them to NMC will never be broken. The assembly was concluded by the Ms. Faith Dumoran, founding president as she expressed her thanks to the Lord for this dream came into a reality.

Reusable vs disposable surgical caps
Understanding the microbial risk in theatre practice.

This infographic, based on research from Technological University Dublin, compares reusable cloth caps with disposable paper caps in terms of bacterial contamination. Reusable cloth caps were found to harbour approximately five times more bacterial colony-forming units (CFUs) than disposable caps, highlighting how fabric can accumulate microorganisms over repeated use without consistent, professional sterilization. In contrast, disposable paper caps showed low average contamination, suggesting a lower risk of microbial transfer when used correctly and changed between cases. The clinical takeaway for perioperative staff is that if reusable caps are worn, mandatory sterilization and meticulous attention to every “small” source of contamination are essential to maintain a sterile surgical environment and reduce the risk of surgical site infection.
