Dear All:
Anyone got a guidelines for OR preparation.
For major surgery it is normal that the patient will take all clothes and put on top the drape but for minor surgery is there any guidelines in OR that all clothes be removed as well. Are we violating patient rights? Example, the surgery is only on the shoulder, should all clothes be removed? If the surgery is at the lower part of the body, for female she should remove her bra as well? Our OR team said it is infection control. But can we provide the patient some clothes to wear instead of removing all?
I hope you can help me out.
Thanks,

Dear Shiella
There are a thorough and comprehensive set of surgery-specific Standards published by the Australian College of Perioperative Nurses. These are available at https://www.acorn.org.au/standards/
The USA-based ACON also have specific guidelines for the perioperative setting. They can be accessed at http://www.acon.org.au

Hi Sheilla,
As Cathryn Murphy stated, ACORN do have comprehensive standards for perioperative nursing and your OR team should have access to a copy of this as a matter of course in my opinion.
The current ACORN Standards on Perioperative Attire states that patients should wear attire appropriate for their surgical procedure and a head cover.
This is a less stringent statement than was made in earlier editions that had required patients to change into a gown etc prior to entering the Operating Suite.
In Day Surgery settings, it is not uncommon for patients wear their street clothes into the Operating Room. This is routine practice for ophthalmic procedures and for dermatological procedures. However, we do inform the patient that they should wear freshly laundered, loose comfortable clothing to avoid bringing in substantial contamination and reduce risk of pressure injury from bulky, tight or bunched up clothing.
I hope that is helpful.
Kind Regards
