Puncture Ratio of the Gloves During Colorectal Surgery

Year 2010, Volume: 11 Issue: 2, 21 - 24, 09.11.2010

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The intact gloves are excellent barriers between the hands of the surgeon and the patient. Unfortunately, glove perforation is a very common problem during surgery, especially in some disciplines. Aim of this study was, to evaluate invisible glove perforation ratio during colorectal surgery. MATERIALS and METHODS: In our clinic, one thousand gloves were tested for perforation in 89 randomly selected operations, from September 01 2006 to 31 December 2006. RESULTS: The overall perforation rate was 17.9%. The prevalence of glove perforation was 27.2% and 15.3% in more than one hour and less, respectively, with significant difference. The prevalence of glove perforation was 27.09% and 17.06% in pelvic surgery or non-pelvic surgery, respectively, with significant difference. The glove perforation rate for the operator, the first and the second assistant and nurse were 23.5, 18.8, 4.3 and 8.4% for all of the operations, respectively. CONCLUSION: Changing gloves at regular intervals (especially non-dominant hand, less than one hour) is an effective way to decrease the incidence of possible glove perforation during colorectal surgery.

KOLOREKTAL CERRAHİDE KULLANILAN ELDİVENLERDEKİ DELİNME ORANLARI

Year 2010, Volume: 11 Issue: 2, 21 - 24, 09.11.2010

Abstract

AMAÇ:Sağlam eldivenler cerrahın eli ile hasta arasında mükemmel bir bariyerdir. Ne var ki; eldivenlerdedelinme cerrahi sırasında özellikle bazı disiplinlerde çok yaygın bir problemdir. Bu çalışmanın amacı kolorektalcerrahi girişimler sırasında meydana gelen ve gözle görülmeyen eldiven delinmelerinin oranını ortaya koymaktır.GEREÇ ve YÖNTEM:Kliniğimizde Eylül-Aralık 2006 tarihleri arasında rastgele seçilmiş 89 ameliyattakullanılan 1000 adet eldiven delinme oranının araştırılması için test edildi.BULGULAR:Tüm eldivenlerde delinme oranı %17.9 olarak saptandı. Aradaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlıolmak üzere bir saatten fazla kullanılanlarda delinme oranı %27.23 ve bir saatten az kullanılanlarda %15.37olarak saptandı. Yine istatistiksel olarak anlamlı biçimde pelvik cerrahide kullanılan eldivenlerde delinme oranı%27.09 ve pelvis dışı karın cerrahisinde kullanılanlarda %17.06 olmak üzere fark saptandı. Ameliyat ekibinintüm ameliyatlar için eldivenlerinde meydana gelen delinme oranlarına bakıldığında sırasıyla operatör, birinciikinci asistan ve ameliyat hemşiresi olmak üzere oranlar %23.5, 18.8, 4.3 ve 8.4 olarak izlendi.SONUÇ:Kolorektal cerrahi girişimler sırasında eldivenlerin düzenli olarak değiştirilmesi (özellikle pelvikcerrahide, dominant olmayan el için, bir saatten kısa aralıklarla) eldivenlerde delik bulunması olasılığını etkinbir şekilde azaltmanın bir yoludur
