ABSTRACT

Contamination in surgical operating room plays major role in transmission of microorganisms. It is necessary that daily exhaustive cleaning takes place in O.R. between and after every surgical orthopaedic procedure, and that appropriate ventilation is present to minimize surgical contamination with room particles that derive from patients or surgical team skin. Moreover, the appropriate treatment of surgical orthopaedic devices, requires special attention and treatment to reduce the burden of pathogenic resistant bacterial strains. In this article we will review some of the standardized measures that decrease the risk of surgical site infection in Orthopaedic surgery that require the collaboration between nurses and health staff in process of cleaning, disinfection, sterilization and storage.
