Background: Wet pack after steam sterilization of medical devices in healthcare facilities are unacceptable.
Purpose: To retrieve, evaluate and integrate the best evidence related to wet pack management.
Methods: We searched the JBI, Up To Date, BMJ, National Guideline Clearinghouse (NGC), National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN), Cochrane library, PubMed, Guideline International Network (GIN), AORN Journal, and other databases using the pyramid "6S" model for guidelines, expert consensus, systematic reviews, evidence summaries, decisions, recommended practices, and technical reports on wet pack management.
The AORN surgical attire guideline promotes cleanliness in the perioperative environment to minimize patients' risks of developing surgical site infections. In 2020, the surgical attire guideline adherence decision-making model was published based on findings from a study involving New England intraoperative team members. To explore the model's transferability across the United States, we replicated the 2020 study with intraoperative personnel who did not live or work in New England.
