Infection Control Today presents results from its annual State of the Industry survey of operating room nurses, part of a series of surveys designed to explore current issues among members of the larger infection prevention community.Â  These results originally appeared in the March 2013 print issue of ICT.

Operating Room

 operating room page provides news articles and videos on the intersection between surgery and infection prevention. The operating room is a prime breeding ground for harmful pathogens to spread, resulting in surgical site infections. The role of the infection preventionist, together with the perioperative nursing staff, is to craft policies and processes to cut down on these infections and ensure patient safety during surgical procedures.
