Operating room environment and surgical site infections in arthroplasty procedures
BACKGROUND The rate of surgical site infections (SSI) is strongly influenced by operating room quality, which is determined by the structural features of the facility and its systems and by the management and behavior of healthcare workers. The aim of the present study was to assess microbial contamination in the operating room during hip- and knee-replacement procedures, the behavior of operat...
متن کاملComparison of Operating Room Ventilation Systems in the Protection of the Surgical Site
This paper uses airflow modeling and particle-tracking methodologies to compare the risk of contaminant deposition on an operating room (OR) surgical site and back table for different ventilation systems. The ventilation system designs considered incorporated commonly used diffuser types, in particular, conventional, laminar, nonaspirating, and displacement diffuser types. Further, a range of d...
متن کاملSurgical attire and the operating room: role in infection prevention.
➤ Although there is some evidence that scrubs, masks, and head coverings reduce bacterial counts in the operating room, there is no evidence that these measures reduce the prevalence of surgical site infection.➤ The use of gloves and impervious surgical gowns in the operating room reduces the prevalence of surgical site infection.➤ Operating-room ventilation plays an unclear role in the prevent...

Background and purpose: Surgical site infection (SSI) is one of the most commonly reported post-operative condition. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of topical vancomycin powder on prevention of SSI in spinal surgery. Materials and methods: A single blind clinical trial was performed in 200 patients who were randomly divided into two groups. In both groups IV injection of ...
متن کاملPrevention of surgical site infection.
Surgical site infections are a frequent cause of morbidity following surgical procedures. Gram-positive cocci, particularly staphylococci, cause many of these infections, although gram-negative organisms are also frequently involved. The risk of developing a surgical site infection is associated with a number of factors, including aspects of the operative procedure itself, such as wound classif...
