在这项研究中，我们的目的是评估手术室外穿着的手术服的细菌污染情况。我们在不同场合将 16 名麻醉师随机分为 3 组：仅限手术室；仅限手术室；剧院和外科病房；以及剧院和部门办公室。对于每组，在研究当天的 08: 30 至 16: 00 之间，每隔 150 分钟，将附着在每套衣服的胸部、腰部和臀部区域的样品织物片取下，并送去进行微生物评估。工作日期间，平均细菌计数显着增加（p = 0.036），并且胸部的平均细菌计数低于臀部（p = 0.007）和腰部区域（p = 0.016）。研究当天 16: 00 时，以每 cm(2) 的菌落形成单位表示的平均 (SD) 细菌计数对于那些仅限于剧院的患者为 25.2 (43.5)，而对于允许外出探访病房和办公室的患者分别为 18.5 (25.9) 和 17.9 (31.0) (p = 0.370)。我们的结论是，访问病房和办公室并没有显着增加手术服的细菌污染。
In this study, we aimed to evaluate the bacterial contamination of surgical scrub suits worn outside the operating theatre. We randomised 16 anaesthetists on separate occasions into one of 3 groups: restricted to the operating theatre only; theatre and surgical wards; and theatre and departmental office. For each group, sample fabric pieces attached to the chest, waist and hip areas of each suit were removed at 150 min intervals between 08: 30 and 16: 00 on the day of study, and sent for microbiological assessment. Mean bacterial counts increased significantly over the course of the working day (p = 0.036), and were lower in the chest compared to the hip (p = 0.007) and waist areas (p = 0.016). The mean (SD) bacterial counts, expressed as colony-forming units per cm(2) at 16: 00 on the day of study, were 25.2 (43.5) for those restricted to theatre and 18.5 (25.9) and 17.9 (31.0) for those allowed out to visit the ward and office, respectively (p = 0.370). We conclude that visits to ward and office did not significantly increase bacterial contamination of scrub suits.
