Minimizing Sources of Airborne, Aerosolized, and Contact Contaminants in the OR Environment

摘要: Abstract Surgical site infections are unintended consequences of surgery that can cause harm to patients and place financial burdens on health care organizations. Extrinsic factors in the OR—including care providers' behavior practices modify air movement, physical environment, equipment, or surgical instruments—can increase microbial contamination. Microbes be transported into incision by airborne contact routes contribute a infection. Simple prevent infection—such as minimizing particles contaminants, maintaining equipment according manufacturer's recommendations, cleaning disinfecting environment instruments, performing proper hand hygiene—can reduce degree Perioperative leaders providers help decrease patient's risk infection with proactive preventive break chain of infection.
