Sterile fields can include people and tools, all of which are aseptic. The process of creating such a field starts with the operating room, which should be kept in very clean condition. When a patient prepares for surgery, nurses will scrub the surgical site with antiseptics, and when the patient goes into the operating room, nurses set up a series of sterile drapes to isolate the site of the surgery. This is the start of the sterile field.
