Controlling CDI — Environmental services cleaning and disinfecting in the operating and procedure rooms
Contents courtesy of Allina Healthcare
Introduction
Cleaning an operating room or procedure room requires a team approach. Surgical services, environmental services, and infection prevention work closely to ensure a clean and safe surgical environment.
Dedicate carts, cleaning tools, vacuums, and floor machines to the OR. Dedicated equipment can help prevent transmission of organisms, particularly from the wheels of floor machines used in other areas.
Detergent and disinfectant solutions should be prepared as needed according to manufacturers’ instructions and properly labeled. Follow EPA approved contact time as directed by the disinfectant manufacturer.

Disinfection
Detergent• Contains surfactants that clean and remove “soil”
from surface Disinfectants
• Hospital approved chemicals that kill bacteria and fungus
Contents courtesy of Allina Health
Disinfection Adequate amount
• Enough chemical to keep surface wet for required contact time
Adequate contact time• Amount of kill time required• Determined by testing by the U.S. EPA
Friction• Wiping the surface removes bugs
Saturation• Having enough disinfectant on a cloth to ensure that
enough chemical gets to the surface for the right amount of time

OR/Procedure room cleaning definitions:
Room turn-over: Between case cleaning done by OR staff
Terminal clean: End of day cleaning done by Environmental Services staff
Cycle cleaning: Periodic deep cleaning (e.g. walls and ceiling) done by Environmental Services staff

Value of standardized cleaning protocol
Studies have indicated that:• Contamination of surfaces and equipment in the
patient room contribute to transmission of hospital acquired pathogens
• The process of cleaning and disinfection can vary from person to person, or even between rooms with the same person

Value of standardized cleaning protocol
Studies have indicated that: • Taking the “randomness” out by standardizing our
cleaning processes will help assure that surfaces are consistently cleaned well and exposed to adequate amounts of disinfectants.
• Reducing the number of organisms in the patient’s environment reduces the opportunity for transmission of hospital acquired pathogens and infections.

Focus on high touch areas
High touch surfaces are those that have frequent contact with hands. High touch surfaces in care areas require more frequent cleaning and disinfection than minimal contact areas.
Cleaning and disinfection is usually done at least daily and more frequently if the risk of environmental contamination is higher (e.g., intensive care units).

Room zoning/hot zone cleaning
The equipment and areas closest to the patient are the most contaminated and considered the “hot zone”.
As you move further from the patient, surfaces are less contaminated. Starting with the OR/surgical table will allow adequate contact time with the disinfectant.
Once the hot zone has been cleaned and contaminated, take a fresh cleaning cloth and work clockwise throughout the entire OR/procedure room.
