Purpose & Scope
Role of the Environment

contaminated surfaces in the environment

in the OR at 6 acute care hospitals

Processing
Semirestricted & Restricted Areas
• If the area is closed with no personnel
present, the team may determine that
terminal cleaning is unnecessary.
• If perioperative team members are present
in the area briefly, the team may determine
that the area may only need damp dusting
on horizontal surfaces.
cont.
• If perioperative team members are present
in the area for an extended amount of time
or are performing patient care activities,
the team may determine that thorough
terminal cleaning of the area is necessary.
Emerging Technologies
• Room Decontamination (eg, ozone,
peroxide vapor, ultraviolet light, saturated
steam)
• May enhance cleaning of perioperative
areas as an adjunct to terminal cleaning,
although further research is needed
• Evaluation by multidisciplinary team
Recommendation V

Quality
Measuring Clean
• Qualitative (eg, visual, fluorescent
marking) & quantitative measures (eg,
culture, adenosine triphosphate [ATP]
monitoring)

• Use multiple measures
• Give immediate feedback when possible
Checklists & Log Sheets
• Reduces chance of missing items during
cleaning
• Facilitate communication among the team
when items are cleaned
– Terminal cleaning
– Scheduled cleaning
Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQs)
FAQs
• Use various methods to pickup debris, but
don’t sweep the OR with a broom
• At a minimum, mop the floor between
cases if it’s visibly soiled
• Move the OR bed when you mop or if
something falls under the bed
FAQs
• You can mop at terminal clean in the OR,
not required to use wet-vacuum
• Wait to clean until after the patient is gone
• Pour cleaning chemicals rather than spray
• People generate dust
FAQs
• No time limit between terminal cleaning
and damp dusting
• Risk-Benefit-Cost Analysis
• The floor is dirty
• Use common sense
