The updated AORN “Guideline for surgical attire” provides recommendations for wearing surgical attire (ie, long sleeves, lab coats, head coverings, shoes) in semirestricted and restricted areas; laundering scrub apparel; and cleaning identification badges, stethoscopes, and personal items (eg, backpacks, briefcases, cell phones, tablets).¹ “AORN hopes that this updated guideline can help reduce the introduction of potential pathogens into the perioperative environment from surgical attire, stethoscopes, and personal items, thereby minimizing a patient's exposure to microorganisms that can contribute to surgical site infection,” said Karen deKay, MSN, RN, CNOR, CIC, AORN senior perioperative practice specialist and lead author of the guideline. “We also want to prevent the introduction of pathogenic organisms that may adhere to scrub apparel during the workday from being brought into public places, such as coffee shops and supermarkets, or into the homes of perioperative personnel.” The guideline, which was last updated in 2019, will be published in AORN eGuidelines+ in February 2024.

更新后的 AORN“手术服装指南”提供了在半限制和限制区域穿着手术服装（即长袖、实验服、头罩、鞋子）的建议；洗涤磨砂服装；清洁身份徽章、听诊器和个人物品（例如背包、公文包、手机、平板电脑）。¹ “AORN 希望这一更新的指南能够帮助减少手术服、听诊器和个人物品将潜在病原体带入围手术期环境，从而最大限度地减少患者接触可能导致手术部位感染的微生物，”Karen deKay 说， MSN、RN、CNOR、CIC、AORN 高级围手术期实践专家和指南的主要作者。“我们还希望防止工作日期间可能粘附在磨砂服上的病原微生物被带入咖啡店和超市等公共场所，或进入围手术期人员的家中。” 该指南上次更新于 2019 年，将于 2024 年 2 月在 AORN eGuidelines+ 上发布。
