Operative surgery exposes the surgeon to possible blood-borne infections. Risks include pen-etrating injuries and conjunctival contact with infected blood. Visor masks worn during orthopaedic trauma procedures were assessed for blood contamination using computer analysis. This was found to be present on 86% of masks, of which only 15% was recognized by the surgeon intraoperatively. Of the blood splashes 80% were less than 0.6mm in diameter. We conclude that power instrumentation produces a blood particulate mist causing considerable microscopic, facial contamination which is a significant risk to the surgeon.
手术外科使外科医生面临血源感染的风险。风险包括穿透伤和结膜接触感染血液。使用计算机分析评估了骨科创伤手术中佩戴的面罩是否被血液污染。结果发现，86%的面罩上有血液污染，其中只有15%在术中被外科医生识别。在血液飞溅物中，80%的直径小于0.6毫米。我们得出结论，动力器械会产生血液微粒雾，造成大量微观层面的面部污染，这对外科医生来说是一个重大风险。
