When is it acceptable to eat in an operation?

Answer 1

Eating in an operating room is generally unacceptable due to strict hygiene and safety protocols. The presence of food can introduce contaminants that compromise sterile conditions and increase infection risks. However, in rare cases, if a lengthy procedure requires extended focus and energy, medical staff may have designated break areas outside the operating room for quick nourishment. Always, patient safety and sterility should remain the top priority.
