Intraoperative glove perforation--single versus double gloving in protection against skin contamination.
Surgeons have the highest risk of contact with patients' blood and body fluids, and breaches in gloving material may expose operating room staff to risk of infections. This prospective randomised study was done to assess the effectiveness of the practice of double gloving compared with single gloving in decreasing finger contamination during surgery. In 66 consecutive surgical procedures studie...
متن کاملThe rate of glove perforations in orthopaedic procedures: single versus double gloving. A prospective study.
Glove perforation during surgery has always been a matter of concern as it increases the infection rate and the risk of transmission of blood borne diseases. To determine the common causes, the site and the awareness of glove perforations in orthopaedic surgery, a prospective study was conducted to assess the rate of glove perforation during 130 consecutive orthopaedic operations. All gloves wo...
متن کاملGlove perforation in orthopaedic and trauma surgery. A comparison between single, double indicator gloving and double gloving with two regular gloves.
The spread of viral diseases such as HIV has highlighted the importance of protecting medical personnel against contamination from blood. We have assessed the frequency of the perforation of surgical gloves during orthopaedic and trauma surgery and compared the efficiency of single and double gloving. We examined all the gloves used by surgeons for a period of two months. There were 1769 gloves...
متن کاملGlove perforation and contamination in primary total hip arthroplasty.
We conducted a randomised, controlled trial to determine whether changing gloves at specified intervals can reduce the incidence of glove perforation and contamination in total hip arthroplasty. A total of 50 patients were included in the study. In the study group (25 patients), gloves were changed at 20-minute intervals or prior to cementation. In the control group (25 patients), gloves were c...
متن کاملIncidence of Perforation of Single and Double Gloves during Surgery
With increasing awareness of the possibility of exposure to blood borne pathogens during surgery, surgeons are becoming more and more concerned with protecting themselves against such exposures. Wearing of double pair of gloves is one method to protect against such exposures. The present study was carried out to evaluate the incidence of perforation of single and double gloves during surgery. 1...
