How might a healthcare worker be exposed to blood or body fluids in surgery?
There are many ways that a health care worker might be exposed to blood/body fluids or OPIM in the Surgery Unit. Because mainly all of the procedures involve inserting instruments and opening up the patient, bleeding is always occurring and could get pretty messy if not attended to. Many instruments, gloves, gowns, and cloths are covered in blood and if not careful they can go onto the health care workers skin. If a surgeon is not wearing a face shield mask and blood is splattered onto his eye, they could be contaminated with blood. The eye becomes a portal of entry through the mucous membranes thus contaminating his body with possible diseases. Another way that a worker could be exposed to fluids is if a body fluid is squirted onto skin of a health care worker and they have a portal of entry such as a cut, the fluid could infect the health care worker.
