Noisy Operating Rooms

Noisy Operating Rooms Associated With Increased Risk For Surgical Site Infections.

HealthDay (6/2, Dallas) reported, "Noisy operating rooms appear to put patients at greater risk for surgical site infections," according to a study published in the July issue of the British Journal of Surgery. After examining "35 patients who underwent planned, major abdominal surgery, taking into account demographic parameters, the length of their surgery and the level of noise in the operating room," researchers also found that "these surgical site infections...are associated with longer, more costly hospital stays."
