Sterile irrigation solution, used in open systems in a conventional orthopedic operating theatre, were examined for bacterial contamination. At the end of 13 of 21 operations (duration greater than or equal to one hour) the solution tested displayed the growth of Staphylococcus epidermidis and/or diphtheroid rods and/or other species. It is concluded that irrigation by solutions, kept in open bowls during an operation, is a potential source of contamination.
对传统骨科手术室开放系统中使用的无菌冲洗液进行了细菌污染检测。在21台手术中的13台手术（持续时间大于或等于1小时）结束时，所检测的冲洗液出现了表皮葡萄球菌和/或类白喉杆菌和/或其他菌种的生长。得出的结论是，手术期间保存在开放碗中的冲洗液是一个潜在的污染源。
