V originále

Surgical theatres require a high level of hygiene in order to avoid or at least reduce postoperative infections. Surgical staff behaviour has clearly a protocol that must be followed by word. Unfortunately it is not in that way. Regrettably some members of surgical staff do not follow the basic hygienic rules and proper behaviours while in theatres. Sadly, there is indifference, from other personnel. (shyness, fear of retaliation, complicity, others). Clinical management should ask themselves the following: Does personnel in surgical theatres behave hygienically? It is very important to remember that surgical wound infections are the second most common hospital-acquired infections, accounting for at least 17 percent of nosocomial infections and that they contribute substantially to patient morbidity, prolonged hospital stay, and increased direct costs. Thus any method of reducing postoperative infection rates has the potential of being cost-effective.
