Transmission of viral infection, such as human immunodeficiency virus or hepatitis B and C, is a concern for both surgeon and patient. Published guidelines advise the regular use of barrier preventive measures in order to minimise the occupational exposure of surgeons. A telephone survey was conducted of 92 orthopaedic, cardiothoracic and general surgeons in the South West Region of England, regarding their use of barrier methods. This survey shows that only a minority of surgeons regularly use protective measures, although they are readily available.
病毒感染的传播，如人类免疫缺陷病毒或乙型和丙型肝炎，对外科医生和患者来说都是一个问题。已发布的指南建议定期使用屏障预防措施，以尽量减少外科医生的职业暴露。对英格兰西南部地区的92名骨科、心胸外科和普通外科医生进行了一项关于他们使用屏障方法的电话调查。这项调查表明，尽管防护措施 readily available（此处原文有误，推测可能是“readily available”，意为容易获得），但只有少数外科医生定期使用。
