Samples of splash basin fluid were cultured at the end of 78 randomly selected orthopedic operations. Fifty-eight (74%) of the specimens were positive on culture. Staphylococcus epidermidis was the prevalent organism. Thirty-four (59%) of the positive cultures grew multiple organisms. Seven (12%) grew more than 100 colonies per 100 ml specimen. This study demonstrates that splash basin fluid is frequently contaminated and may be a source of wound contamination during orthopedic surgery. Implants should not be placed in the splash basin, and instruments placed in it should not be returned to the operative wound.
在78例随机选择的骨科手术结束时，对溅水盆中的液体样本进行培养。58份（74%）标本培养呈阳性。表皮葡萄球菌是主要的微生物。34份（59%）阳性培养物培养出多种微生物。7份（12%）每100毫升标本中生长出超过100个菌落。本研究表明，溅水盆中的液体经常被污染，可能是骨科手术期间伤口污染的一个来源。植入物不应放置在溅水盆中，放置在其中的器械也不应放回手术伤口。
