Morn’ Infection Control Gurus
I have a question…….
Is there a set time after the theatre has been cleaned post MRO patient prior to the next patient?
We currently let the Theatre rest for hour- my question is do we need to? Do we need a certain number of air changes? Where would I find out this information?
Thank you
Holly

MRO, not an airborne ,therefore no need to have your OR to be at rest ,just follow your institutional policy of infection control and prevention policy of cleaning and disinfection once you have a case of MRO .

Good morning Holly
My understanding is that MROs (MRSA, VRE, MRGN) are transmitted by direct and indirect contact, as are all other skin and bowel colonising organisms. Based on this principle there isn’t any indication to “rest” the theatre or wait for a specific number of air changes between cases following procedures performed on patients known to be colonised with MROs.

Hi Holly,
The salient issue for scheduling procedures post-MRO patient is to ensure there is sufficient time to clean and disinfect surfaces that were in contact with the patient. There is no set time as such, just sufficient time to disinfect before bringing in the next patient.The only patients where air exchange is necessary post-procedure & prior to cleaning are those with suspected or proven airborne transmittable microbes, Tuberculosis for example.
