Introduction to the Operating Room - Infectious Disease Control
The operating room can be a hostile environment. There are strict standards that must be followed so that sterile fields aren't contaminated. Prevention of infection and the spread of disease is the primary concern. Navigating the operating room can also be a challenge so as not to disrupt the flow.

• Pre-surgical patient admission procedures
• Unrestricted, semi-restricted and restricted areas
• Wound classification
• Infection control
