Description

<p>We anesthesiologists should have knowledge of the environmental arrangement of operating rooms（OR）since the management of OR is part of our role. The “Guideline for Prevention of Surgical Site Infection, 1999” presents the recommendations of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention（CDC）, which are based on the scientific evidence of the time. Although it was published more than a decade ago, it is still the foundation of present surgical practices. This document presents an overview of concepts for managing the OR environment, such as air conditioning, cleaning, and sterilization based on the CDC guideline, with some elements of the current Japanese guidelines.</p>
