Abstract

The role of the environment in surgical site infections is surprisingly understudied. UV disinfection holds promise for reducing the level of contamination in operating rooms and thereby lowering the risk of infection for patients. Issues such as the frequency, amount and locations for UV disinfection to have an impact on the risk of surgical site infection are recently emerging in the literature. As technologies and knowledge improve, UV disinfection will have a role to play in operating rooms in the future.

摘要

环境在手术部位感染中的作用竟然鲜有研究。紫外线消毒有望降低手术室的污染水平，从而降低患者的感染风险。紫外线消毒的频率、剂量和位置等问题对手术部位感染风险的影响，最近在文献中逐渐显现。随着技术和知识的进步，紫外线消毒在未来的手术室中将发挥作用。
