摘要
A prospective study was performed of 100 caesarean sections (31 elective, 69 emergency) to determine the incidence of blood splashes to the masks and goggles of surgeons, assistants and scrub nurses. The rate of blood splashes was 40% on surgeons' masks, 49.29% on surgeons' goggles, 31% on assistants' masks, 21.12% on assistants' goggles, 23.1% on scrub nurses' masks and 15.71% on scrub nurses' goggles. The use of masks and protective goggles is strongly recommended to avoid body fluid contamination and acquiring disease in obstetrics.
