[Anaesthesia-related Infection Prevention during Operations]. Anasthesiol Intensivmed Notfallmed Schmerzther. 2020 Jun;55(6):352-367 Authors: Tatzel J, Brinkmann A, Kaltwasser A, Dubb R, Nachtigall I Abstract The processes of anaesthesia during operations enable surgical disciplines to perform a wide range of procedures. However, anaesthesia procedure may also represent a potential risk of infection for the surgical patient. Important hygiene measures concern the following topics: hand hygiene, surface disinfection, administration of parenteral drugs, dealing with catheters, intubation, perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis, temperature management, change intervals, OR workflow organization. The selection of hygiene measures for anaesthesia staff in the operating theatre listed in this article is presented in the sequence of the work flow, whereby certain topics such as hand hygiene naturally play an important role in all work phases.
