The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (0S) Task Force Recommendations for AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) Protection. The stringency of these recommendations exceeds the requirements of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Hospital Association. Every effort should be made to prevent further transmission of AIDS/HIV in any part of the medical consultation and treatment process. 2. Surgical attire that prevents contact with the patient’s blood should be worn during surgery. This includes knee-high and waterproof surgical shoe covers, waterproof surgical gowns or hand gowns, and a full hood. 3. Double gloves should be worn during surgery. 4.Masks should be changed promptly after wetting or spilling. 5.Apply eye protection devices (goggles or face shield) to protect the exposed skin and mucous membranes of the operator’s head. To prevent accidental injury to the surgeon, the surgeon should do the following: 1. When possible, try to use instruments to tie knots, and try to use “non-contact” operation when suturing and using sharp instruments, and do not tie knots with suture needles by hand. 2. Do not pass sharp instruments or needles directly by hand during surgery, but place them in the transition tray for passing. 3. Verbally remind when passing sharp instruments. 4.Do not close a wound with two people at the same time. 5.When probing with fingers for fracture fragments or wounds with wires and other sharp instruments, be extra careful not to attach your hand to the blade of a bone cutter, drill or saw surface. 6.If blood spatter is unavoidable when flushing large wounds or using power instruments, a spacesuit-type surgical gown should be worn. 7.The surgical gown, mask and shoe coverings of the surgical staff should be routinely checked for contamination during surgery, and should be replaced promptly if necessary.
