How to Disinfect Operation Theatre after COVID-19 Patient Surgery





The COVID-19 pandemic has brought the entire surgical procedures to almost a standstill. As the Corona pandemic is going to take a lot of time before it is brought under control surgical procedures cannot be postponed indefinitely. In our video, we have shown that will be operating in COVID patients and it will require a special precaution as how to sterilise the operating instruments. This video demonstrates sanitisation of Operation Theatre after a surgery has been done on a COVID-19 positive patient.

The COVID Era situation mandates very strict protocol for sanitisation of operation theatre after COVID-19 procedure. All standard protocol including the use of PPE by all the personnel inside OT is to be followed. Used instruments are dipped in 1% Sodium Hypochlorite for 30 minutes followed by washing under running water. Small spillage in Operation Theatre is drenched in 1% Sodium Hypochlorite for 20min. Large spillages are covered with absorbent linen which is disposed of afterwards. Broken glasses are picked up by forceps and are put in 1% Sodium Hypochlorite and disposed of after treatment. All the machines were covered with plastic sheets which are folded outside in after the procedure. All disposables are put in their respective bins. OT table and trolleys are cleaned using a 1% Sodium Hypochlorite solution.

OT floor is cleaned using 3 bucket system:

1. Plain water
2. Detergent water
3. 1% sodium Hypochlorite solution.
UV-GI is used for sanitization of walls and roofs. Next case can be taken up after 1 hour
This will be helpful to our entire surgical team for conducting a smooth and safe surgery.
