Go for a simple foot operation and end up with a serious infection. It was not, what you have signed up and it was certainly not after your surgery what to expect.

According to a new Federal surgery centres have study, which on the same day major infection procedures control problems.  Some of the potential perpetrators are the failure, hands wash, wear gloves and clean of blood glucose monitoring systems.  If that weren't bad enough, researchers found that there were hospitals, the devices, which means for a patient or appeared in single dose medicine vials for many people in fact reused.

The study results were published in the journal of the American Medical Association, which implies that this sloppy could become infection control in the country nearly 5,000 outpatient centers.

Studied the centres the researchers found that 67 percent had at least a time lapse in infection control and 57 percent with deficiencies have been identified.  Researchers do not evaluate whether these problems led to infections in patients.

The main author of the study, Dr. Melissa Schaefer of the Centers for disease control and prevention, was quoted, "these are the basics of infection control, things like cleaning your hands." "Cleaning surfaces in patient care areas it is surprising and somewhat disappointing."

Outpatient centers are a region of the U.S. health system, carrying out more than 6 million procedures each year.  These methods range from tests to plastic surgery.
