What is meant by Universal precautions?
Considering every patient as biohazard and taking adequate precautions to prevent infection is known as Universal precautions.
Such precautions must be taken whenever a health care personnel handles blood, semen and other body fluids of the patients.
The protective gowns, goggles & ankle high shoes the surgeon wear are not only for the safety of the patient but also for the safety of the Surgeon and other patients!
Modern Surgery is safe to the patient. Surgical interventions are made at the optimal time of the disease process so as to minimize the interventions as well as the complications!
