Inclusion Criteria

As obstetric and gynecologic operations are typically undertaking in separate, dedicated operating theatres, we will focus our prospective observations on patients admitted to these theatres. Any patient undergoing surgery at any time in one of the targeted operating theatres is eligible for inclusion; there will be no exclusion criteria. Enrollment will occur at the time of observation and will include various times (day and night) and days of the week (weekdays and weekends). As the standards being implemented are not in dispute and are considered critical for ensuring antisepsis and sterility, patient informed consent will not be obtained. While our focus will be on cesarean delivery, any obstetric or gynecological operation will be included, with the inclusion of other operations in this populations (such as appendectomy for appendicitis that is found incidentally or misdiagnosed as ovarian torsion, for example). There will be no age range limit.
