    Hello Everyone

    Can those who undertake orthopaedic surgery tell me whether you currently undertake Orthopaedic pre-op skin prep on wards pre theatre. Apparently our sterile drape supplies are restricted.
    I was under the impression that this an older discarded practice other than pre-op shower and that skin prep is only conducted immediately pre-op.
    Would appreciate your input

    Hi Liz,

    As we have patient’s that come from rural properties that use tank or dam water, our major cases and orthopaedics have pre-op showers onsite.

    We have a Day of Surgery Admission Lounge that has shower facilities.

    Kind Regards

    Kylie

    Hi Liz

    We do lots of ortho joint replacements (hips, knees, shoulders), and none of them have pre-op skin prep, only pre-op antiseptic washes (the night before and the morning of as a minimum). No sterile drapes are required.

    The only time they *might* use a pre-op skin prep with sterile wrap for an elective procedure is for removal of external hardware (cages, wires, etc). Not all orthopods require this, though.

    Cheers

    Hello Liz

    I will send you the summary of responses I kindly received when I asked the same question of this group back in 2018

    In short the answer was yes most places the orthopods had discarded this practice except for a few places like Coffs Harbour Hospital where a few of the orthopods still like it done…??
    Preop screening (MSSA /MRSA), preop shower & skin prep (Betadine/ CHG in 70% ETOH ) also largely being done in line with WHO SSI reduction bundles

    Hope this useful

    Kind regards

    Lindy

    Ps plenty of rain but our IPaC team doing Ok here in Mid North Coast so far ….yups lots of flooding up this way for our weary but hardworking wonderful communities here…. many who haven’t been so lucky …can you believe it was bushfires last year in between COVID!!??…

    Hi Liz,
    Our orthopaedic patients are given a pre op skin wash to use prior to admission, they are advised to use day/night before admission and day of surgery. This is given to them at preadmission clinic.
    Thanks

    Hello Everyone

    Can those who undertake orthopaedic surgery tell me whether you currently undertake Orthopaedic pre-op skin prep on wards pre theatre. Apparently our sterile drape supplies are restricted.
    I was under the impression that this an older discarded practice other than pre-op shower and that skin prep is only conducted immediately pre-op.
    Would appreciate your input

    With Thanks
