Environmental Cleaning Basics for Perioperative Areas: Part 1

This 11-minute training video covers perioperative environmental infection control practices, from damp dusting prior to starting the first case, to cleaning and disinfection between cases. This video is designed for perioperative staff and environmental services staff working in the perioperative area and can help these healthcare team members provide a clean and safe environment for their patients. Be sure to also watch “Environmental Cleaning Basics for Perioperative Areas: Part 2,” which focuses on terminal, or end of the day, cleaning. This video was made possible through collaboration between the Oregon Patient Safety Commission and the Oregon Healthcare-Associated Infection Program at the Oregon Health Authority, with funding made possible (in part) by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity Grant.
