Blood Exposure Accidents potentially concern
anyone likely to enter into contact at some point with blood or
biological fluids, i.e. all medical staff including , operating
theater staff (surgeons, suture nurses and instrument nurses), personal
care nurses, emergency room personnel and intensive care staff are
particularly exposed .
Studies have shown that surgeons are most exposed in terms of frequency,
with about 6 to 13 PIs per surgeon per year , and many MMSEs . However,
these incidents are above all accounted for by certain procedures
known to be risky and which are found to be common denominators
in a high number of BEAs.
