“…Transmission of blood‐borne infections (e.g., HVB and HVC) or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), from surgeon to patient or from patient to surgeon is an avoidable health problem, e.g. needlestick during surgery [13, 14]. There are no available data yet, but the risk of transmission can be decreased by surgical techniques reducing the use of needles and sharps.…”

“…19,20 The technique of double gloving has been shown to reduce the risk of contamination of the surgeon's hands in multiple studies (either due to tears or perforations). 6,18 Based on this, Nystrom and Wittmann 13 have calculated the risk of a surgeon operating on HIV patients actually contracting HIV from hollow needles whilst double gloved; from their calculations a surgeon can expect to acquire HIV infection at rate of 1 in every 800 hollow needle stick injuries. Lemaire et al 11 argue that the annual rate of a surgeon, irrespective of discipline, in Europe contracting HIV from occupational exposure is between 0.125 and 3%.…”

“…Следует учитывать тот факт, что 1 мл крови может содержать при ВГ В от 1,5 до 150 млн инфицирующих доз, при ВГ С -от 1 до 100 тыс. [4, 12,13]. количество крови, достаточное для инфицирования ВГ В при нозокомиальном пути передачи, составляет 0,00004 мл [11].…”
