Standards for surgical procedures and medical clothing, designed for use in the operating theatre, have been gradually developed with the progress in science and technology. Standard No. EN 13795:2011, determining the requirements concerning materials for production of surgical gowns, was introduced in 2003. It concerns, e.g., resistance to microbial penetration. Little attention is given to thermal comfort, even though it is well known that thermal discomfort can have an adverse effect on the quality and efficiency of work. During a real-life test and laboratory tests, 2 male surgeons and 8 male volunteers were asked to describe their subjective sensations before and after work. The results of the real-life test and the laboratory tests are comparable. They show a clear lack of thermal comfort when medical clothing designed for the operating theatre is used.
随着科学技术的进步，用于手术室的手术程序和医用服装标准逐渐得到发展。2003 年引入了标准号为 EN 13795:2011 的标准，该标准规定了手术服生产材料的要求，例如，抗微生物穿透性。尽管众所周知，热舒适度不佳会对工作质量和效率产生不利影响，但人们对其热舒适度的关注较少。在实际测试和实验室测试中，2 名男外科医生和 8 名男志愿者被要求在工作前后描述他们的主观感受。实际测试和实验室测试的结果具有可比性。结果表明，当使用专为手术室设计的医用服装时，明显缺乏热舒适度。
