Operating Room Scheduling Considering Patient Priorities and Operating Room Preferences: A Case Study
Operating rooms have become the most important areas in hospitals because of the scarcity and cost of resources. The present study investigates operating room scheduling and rescheduling considering the priority of surgical patients in a specialized hospital. The ultimate purpose of scheduling is to minimize patient waiting time, surgeon idle time between surgeries, and penalties for deviations...
متن کاملAssessment of an innovative antimicrobial surface disinfectant in the operating room environment using adenosine triphosphate bioluminescence assay.
Terminal cleaning in the operating room is a critical step in preventing the transmission of health care-associated pathogens. The persistent disinfectant activity of a novel isopropyl alcohol/organofunctional silane solution (ISO) was evaluated in 4 operating rooms after terminal cleaning. Adenosine triphosphate bioluminescence documented a significant difference (P < .048) in surface bioburde...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and nitrate contaminations in watermelon and carrot samples and the associated risks to human health. Methods: In this cross sectional study, 108 samples of wat...
متن کاملAtp-bioluminescence Assay as an Alternative for Hygiene-monitoring Procedures of Stainless Steel Milk Contact Surfaces
ATP-bioluminescence assay was used to evaluate the cleaning and sanitizing procedures of stainless steel milk contact surfaces. Surfaces of a raw milk transportation tank, a raw milk cooling storage tank, an equalization pasteurizing tank, a pasteurized milk storage tank and a pasteurized milk packaging tank, as well as a milk centrifuge were evaluated. The Relative Light Unit (RLU) using a com...
متن کاملContaminated operating room boots: the potential for infection.
BACKGROUND Dirty operating room boots, often contaminated with blood and other infected material, are not only a source of discontent among surgeons and other surgical personnel, but they also pose a potential risk of transmission of viral or bacterial diseases to the wearer and cleaner of the boots. METHOD Operating room boots were examined for the presence of blood by visual inspection; the...
