Those operating theatre personnel who aim to keep up to date by reading the professional journals may well be confused and feel uninformed about the concept of universal precautions. While some authors focus on universal precautions, they do not mention operating theatres. Others continue to discuss the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and high risk patient's. Furthermore the practical aspects of the implementation of universal precautions have not, to date, been thoroughly documented, other than the vague advice of 'treat every patient the same'. This article aims to clarify the concept of universal precautions, consider why they are needed, and suggest a possible pathway for their implementation. The three main changes in practice will also be discussed.
那些旨在通过阅读专业期刊来跟上最新知识的手术室工作人员，很可能会对普遍预防措施的概念感到困惑和信息不足。虽然一些作者关注普遍预防措施，但他们没有提及手术室。另一些作者则继续讨论人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）、乙型肝炎病毒（HBV）和高风险患者。此外，到目前为止，除了“平等对待每一位患者”这种模糊的建议外，普遍预防措施实施的实际方面尚未得到充分记录。本文旨在阐明普遍预防措施的概念，思考为何需要这些措施，并提出一种可能的实施途径。还将讨论实践中的三个主要变化。
