Credibility, power, and the ability to obtain greater departmental resources are three benefits of managing the operating room (OR) department's operating budget effectively. Still, few resources exist to help novice as well as seasoned OR directors grapple with the practicalities of maintaining their budget after the annual budget process is completed. The authors examine how astutely controlling personnel, materials, and services budget variances will result in hospital administrators "hearing" and approving an OR director's requests for resources more readily, staff and physicians who enjoy the benefits of better-staffed services and new technology, and an OR director with a reputation as an effective department head among peers in the hospital.

1. Bacterial colony counts on the right shoulder of the subject's scrub suits were lower after lunch when a. cover gowns were worn over scrub suits outside the OR during lunch, and b. when fresh scrub suits were put on after lunch. 2. Bacterial colony counts were higher after lunch when a. scrub suits were worn without cover gowns outside the OR during lunch, and b. when they were removed before lunch, stored in a locker, and put on again after lunch. 3. The thigh region can be assumed to be dirtier than the shoulder area on scrub suits. From this study, the researchers concluded that wearing cover gowns outside the OR exerts a protective effect against bacterial contamination as determined by samples taken from the right shoulder. Furthermore, this protective effect is comparable to that seen when subjects changed into fresh scrub suits after lunch.
