| الوصف: | Background Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a complication of arthroplasty surgery with significant morbidity and mortality. Surgical helmets are a possible source of infection. Pre-existing dust and microorganisms on its surface may be blown into the surgical field by the helmet ventilation system. Methods Twenty surgical helmets at our institution were assessed through microscopy and polymerase chain reaction testing. Helmets were arranged with agar plates under the front and rear outflow vents. Helmets ran while plates were exchanged at different time points. Bacterial growth was assessed via colony counts and correlated with fan operating time. Gram staining and 16S sequencing were performed to identify bacterial species. Results The primary microbiological contaminate identified was Burkholderia. There was an inverse relationship between colony formation and fan operating time. The highest number of colonies was found within the first minute of fan operating time. There was a significant decrease in the number of colonies formed from the zero-minute to the three (27 vs 5; P = |
