Sterile persons touch only sterile items at 55% of surgeries, 84.9% of them performed surgical scrubbing correctly. There was a contamination of OR floor and conditioning system in 55% of surgeries, there was a surgical site infection(SSI) after suturing among 40% of patients and there was a correlation between contamination of scrubbing taps and SSI post- preparation (P < 0.05).
