This study introduces a sharps-free tracheotomy technique to prevent accidental inoculation for surgical staff. This innovative method enhances safety for operating theatre personnel and patients undergoing procedures like tracheotomy.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Safety
  • Infectious Disease Prevention
  • Head and Neck Surgery

Background:

  • The rise of blood-borne diseases like acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) necessitates enhanced safety protocols in surgical settings.
  • Accidental inoculation poses a significant risk to surgeons and operating theatre staff.
  • Head and neck surgeons must employ safe techniques when operating on patients with infectious diseases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel sharps-free technique for performing tracheotomies.
  • To enhance the safety of surgical procedures for patients with conditions such as AIDS and hepatitis.
  • To reduce the risk of accidental inoculation among healthcare professionals during tracheotomies.

Main Methods:

  • Development and implementation of a sharps-free surgical approach for tracheotomy.
