Intraoperative aseptic practices in orthopaedic operations
The objectives of the research were to monitor the aseptic practices carried out by operating room nurses and doctors in orthopaedic operations focusing on aseptic behaviour and preparations of the personnel during sterile field establishment and maintenance phases of the surgeries, and to evaluate the practices carried out compared to existing international and national guidelines and evidence-based recommendations. Previous study findings indicate that existing recommendations on aseptic and sterile technique are always not fully adhered to and that there are improvement areas in the aseptic practices of operating room personnel during surgery. The adherence to aseptic practices in intraoperative settings is essential within all team members to minimize and control microbes from contaminating the surgical field and its surroundings, but also to protect the personnel from being transmitted with antibiotic resistant microbes. Surgical site infections after orthopaedic operations where foreign body fixation materials are used have long-term effects and high costs. This study evaluated the actualized aseptic practices during sterile field establishment and maintenance phases in five operating room units within one organization in Finland. The study was implemented as a local small-scale observational clinical aseptic practice quality improvement study with statistical data analysis. The research aimed to compare the practices in action to existing evidence-based guidelines and recommendations using criteria-based evaluation. Data collection was done with the constructed tool in which foci of observation were divided to seven main themes: Availability of hand hygiene products, hand hygiene realisation, preparations of the patient, establishment of sterile field, preparations of sterile personnel, aseptic behaviour and maintenance of sterile field. A descriptive analysis of the research data was conducted using SPSS-software. Results show high adherence to most evaluated categories, but also that there are areas of ...
