ABSTRACT
Regardless of the specific clinical setting in the operating room, it is clear that better protection of all personnel is an appropriate objective in the current environment. Better protection through improved PPE and modification of operational practices is essential. A prompt response to blood contact when it does occur is likewise appropriate. With conscientious applications of methods to reduce blood exposure, it is hoped that the operating room can become a safer place with respect to occupational infections from bloodborne pathogens
