MASQUES CHIRURGICAUX JETABLES : UNE ÉTUDE SYSTÉMATIQUE
Résumé
Le but original du développement des masques chirurgicaux était de contenir et de filtrer les gouttelettes contenant des microorganismes expirées de la bouche et du nasopharynx des travailleurs de la santé en salle d’opération afin de fournir une protection au patient. Toutefois, il y a plusieurs façons dont les masques chirurgicaux auraient le potentiel de contribuer à la contamination de la plaie opératoire. Récemment les masques chirurgicaux ont été recommandés comme barrière entre l’équipe chirurgicale et le patient; cependant, l’efficacité du masque chirurgical en tant que moyen de prévention de l’infection des plaies opératoires est sujette à caution.
