| pubmed-article:1693174 | pubmed:abstractText | We undertook an observational study of 1307 consecutive surgical procedures at San Francisco General Hospital to record descriptions of intraoperative exposures to blood and other body fluids, determine the factors predictive of these exposures, and identify interventions that might reduce their frequency. During a two-month period, circulating nurses took note of parenteral and cutaneous exposures to blood and recorded information about all procedures. In a follow-up validation study, 50 additional procedures were observed by the study investigators to determine the accuracy of the data collected by the nurses. A total of 960 gloves used by surgical personnel during the validation study were examined to determine the perforation rate. Accidental exposure to blood (parenteral or cutaneous) occurred during 84 procedures (6.4 percent; 95 percent confidence interval, 5.1 to 7.8 percent). Parenteral exposure occurred in 1.7 percent. The risk of exposure was highest when the procedures lasted more than three hours, when blood loss exceeded 300 ml, and when major vascular and intraabdominal gynecologic surgery was involved. Neither knowledge of diagnosed human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection nor awareness of a patient's high-risk status for such infection influenced the rate of exposure. Double gloving prevented perforations of the inner glove and cutaneous exposures of the hand. We conclude that all surgical personnel are at risk for intraoperative exposure to blood. Our data support the practice of double gloving and the increased use of water-proof garments and face shields to prevent mucocutaneous exposures to blood. No evidence was found to suggest that preoperative testing for HIV infection would reduce the frequency of accidental exposures to blood. | lld:pubmed |
