Comparison of the Colonies Number of the Germs Formed Post Operation between the Utilization of Single, Double, and Orthopedic Gloves in Closed Fracture Operations More Than 2 Hours

Abstract: Post-operative infection is still one of the most common nosocomial diseases that can cause great losses because it will increase length stay, use drugs, and reduce quality life patients. The risk if number colonies is> 105 bacteria per gram tissue. Various ways have been done to in operation area, including surgical gloves. This study analyzed comparison level bacterial grew on surface single, double, orthopedic gloves closed fracture management for more than 2 hours at Hasan Sadikin Hospital. statistical analysis was with p-value = 0.011 (<0.05), which means a significant difference germ grow between Double better ability colony growth. Meanwhile, there no formed double orthopedics. Perforation factor affecting formed. surgery shows less single There rate perforation standard Keywords: Bacteria colony, Single glove, Orthopaedic
