The effect of three types of operating-room clothing on bacterial sedimentation was studied during cardiac valve surgery. The 24 operations were divided into three groups, according to type of clothing worn by all personnel--standard cotton, open style non-woven or closed style non-woven. Sedimentation on open agar plates was greatest when cotton clothing was worn, less with open style non-woven garments (difference not significant), and still less with closed style non-woven clothing (difference statistically significant). The sedimentation corresponded to estimated airborne concentrations (cfu/m3) of 79.6 (cotton clothing), 59.7 (open style non-woven) and 7.2 (closed style non-woven). Use of closed style non-woven operation clothing is recommended for cardiac surgery.
