Dear Brains Trust,
I am sure I have asked this question before?? Regarding resting theatre following a dirty/MRO case.
We are currently debating this issue again, does anyone rest the theatre after the clean has taken place and for how long? Where possible the cases are last on the list, but we appreciate that not all MRO cases/dirty cases can go last on the list.
Advise on this matter would be greatly received.
Many thanks in advance

Can I ask for what reason you would want to ‘rest’ an OT after an MRO or ‘dirty’ case? Once appropriate cleaning has occurred, you can safely use the OT for another case after surfaces are dry.
The only times we would delay the start of the next case after cleaning is either in the case of a known or suspected airborne pathogen like measles, or to allow latex particles to settle prior to a latex allergic case.
I am not sure what you are trying to achieve with a ‘rest’ for environmental contamination that has been appropriately cleaned. Maybe I am missing something, though?

06/11/2018 at 12:33 pm #74910Hi Michael,
I agree, once the theatre has been cleaned/ disinfected there should be no other issue, unless for airborne or latex allergy as stated, one of our educators has questioned air changes, and whether we should wait for a completed set of air changes or not, as this obviously would cause delays. We have between 32-42 air changes per hour so meet the standard.Jayne O’Connor RN ,BSc.,Inf.Cont

06/11/2018 at 12:35 pm #74913HI team,
In theatre, here at King Eddies, we practice a 2 step clean.
Then after hypochlorite has been applied to all surfaces, we wait for 20 minutes, basically enabling the fumes to disappear as some staff are quite sensitive to the smell.Hope this helps,
Wendy

I am sure I have asked this question before?? Regarding resting theatre following a dirty/MRO case.
We are currently debating this issue again, does anyone rest the theatre after the clean has taken place and for how long? Where possible the cases are last on the list, but we appreciate that not all MRO cases/dirty cases can go last on the list.
Advise on this matter would be greatly received.
Many thanks in advance
