Theater
Rules
The air in the OT is
clean and filtered. This is required since surgical wounds are open to the air
in the OT.
It is desirable that the minimum number of
people should be in the operating theater, to provide safe and efficient
management of the patient. The bacteriological count in theater is related to
the number of persons and their movement in the operating room. These rules of
entry limits the infection rate.
Visitors may not be allowed to enter
restricted areas and watch the procedure from a visitors gallery
