Hospitals are full of germs. They are full of sick people.
Hospital acquired infections are a big deal. But, flies are a fact of life and I’ve seen roaches and rats and even lizards on walls. In the days before air conditioning surgery was often done outdoors and A/C helps keep OR’s cold so germs don’t reproduce as fast.
The clean rooms in electronics manufacturing plants are far cleaner than OR’s because dust can fry a microchips.
Right again, outofsalt.
ORs are not clean. Especially compared to actual clean rooms such as compounding pharmacies, cGMP cellular therapy labs, or other research facilities.
I wonder how often a typical OR gets it’s ceiling cleaned with lph or vesphene?
