Incidence and prevention of conjunctival contamination with blood during hazardous surgical procedures.

A E Hinton1, R C Herdman, M S Timms.   

Abstract

The incidence and risks of conjunctival contamination with patients' blood during a range of otolaryngological surgical procedures was assessed. Risks were found to be highest in three groups of procedures; tracheostomy, operations preceded by local anaesthetic injections and procedures involving the use of the air drill. A simple and effective method of protection using spectacles with large plain lenses is presented.
