The heads of neurosurgical patients were subject to 2 scrubbings with hexachlorophene detergent, performed in the ward prior to operation. After this single change of routines the frequency of wound infections after craniotomy dropped 4-fold, from 2% to 0.5%. The result indicates that the scalp of the patient is the major source of the staphylococci that cause neurosurgical infections.
神经外科患者的头部在病房内于手术前用六氯酚洗涤剂进行了两次擦洗。在这一常规操作的单一改变之后，开颅术后伤口感染的发生率下降了4倍，从2%降至0.5%。该结果表明，患者的头皮是导致神经外科感染的葡萄球菌的主要来源。
