| Popis: |
A ten years retrospective study was carried out among the personnel of Padua Hospital to determine the rate of occupational exposure to blood and body fluids. 4738 injuries occurred between 1990 and 1999: 78% were percutaneous injuries 22% blood contacts. No case of operating room transmission of blood-borne infection was documented but it is clear that the risk is not zero and the number of injuries indicate the need for further training and reinforcement of universal precautions to reduce occupational exposures. |
