影響手術室空氣中微生物之因素與控制

Effect and Control of the Number of Microorganisms in the Air

空氣中的微生物數量是導致手術部位感染的重要危險因子之一，手術過程設備的使用、工作人員及空調換氣與清潔皆是影響手術室空氣中微生物之因素。因此，醫院手術室應建立環境與空調規範，建議包括良好的手術室動線與人員限制、通風設備、以及環境和空調的清潔與監測機制，以預防病人感染的風險和維護工作人員的安全。

The number of microorganisms in the air is one of the major risk factors of surgical site infection. Operating theaters in hospitals should establish standards for environmental and air conditioning, such as good traffic flow, the number of staff members, ventilation equipment, as well as the cleaning and monitoring mechanism of environmental and air conditioning, in order to prevent surgical site infections and maintain the safety of staff.
