A new study has found a connection between surgical site infections and how often the OR door is opened during a procedure, according to an article on the Outpatient Surgery website.
To reduce the number of door openings, suggested initiatives include:
• Stopping all traffic in and out of the OR during certain procedures
• Communicating more by phone
• Placing signs on the doors reminding staff to minimize traffic
Traffic audits every six months after the implementation of changes were suggested.
