Maintaining a hygienically clean environment is paramount—inside and outside of the operating room. Proper infection control protocols extend beyond the OR—to the hallways, changing rooms, and even our communities. That's why AORN’s updated guidelines for surgical attire are so crucial. These standards address the vital role attire plays in minimizing the risk of surgical site infections (SSIs) for patients, while also protecting healthcare workers and preventing the spread of microorganisms throughout the entire healthcare facility.
These revisions address everything from lanyards and cell phones to head coverings and shoe covers, reflecting the latest evidence-based research and best practices. This isn't just about what you wear; it's about creating a consistently safe environment for every surgical procedure.
