[No contamination of instruments on the trolley during elective arthroplasty]. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • Infection after joint replacement surgery can lead to serious health issues and increased death risk.
  • Researchers investigated whether leaving surgical instruments on trolleys could lead to contamination from airborne germs during hip and knee surgeries.
  • The study found that instruments in a laminar airflow area do become contaminated, but more extensive research is needed to confirm these findings.

Article Abstract

Infection following arthroplasty is a very serious complication as it has major impact on morbidity and mortality. This study set out to examine if leaving the instruments on the trolley would result in contamination from airborne pathogens during elective hip and knee arthroplasty. We conclude that instruments placed in a laminar airflow field do get contaminated, but further studies with a larger sample size are needed to verify the results.
