The risk of blood and body fluid exposure and, therefore, risk of blood-borne disease transmission is increased during trauma resuscitations. Use of barrier precautions (BPs) to protect health care workers (HCWs) from exposure and infection has been codified in hospital rules and in national trauma education policy. Despite these requirements, reported rates of BP compliance vary widely. The reasons for noncompliance are not known. This study assesses self-reported rates of BP usage during resuscitations among trauma professionals, explores reasons for noncompliance, and compares self-reported compliance rates with actual observed compliance rates.
