1.	Infection 07/01/2001 - "The rate of infection found in this study was higher than other published series and could be attributed to the lack of laminar flow ventilation system and the use of cotton drapes and surgical gowns while performing these operations. " 09/03/2014 - "➤ Although there is some evidence that scrubs, masks, and head coverings reduce bacterial counts in the operating room, there is no evidence that these measures reduce the prevalence of surgical site infection.➤ The use of gloves and impervious surgical gowns in the operating room reduces the prevalence of surgical site infection.➤ Operating-room ventilation plays an unclear role in the prevention of surgical site infection.➤ Exposure of fluids and surgical instruments to the operating-room environment can lead to contamination. " 09/03/2014 - "Surgical attire and the operating room: role in infection prevention." 02/01/2014 - "Clean surgical scrubs, surgical gowns and headgear are worn by operative teams to decrease bacterial contamination and lower surgical site infection (SSI) rates.

Anoxia (Hypoxia) 02/01/2004 - "The initial attire-wearing novices' insertions took as long as the surgeons'; three of them then reached the mean performance time of the anesthetists after four (protective gear) and two (surgical attire) trials, with only one occurrence of hypoxia and a failure rate similar to that of the surgeons.
