    The key takeaways are that an operating theatre should be located near surgical wards, emergency departments and radiology. It should also have clearly demarcated clean and dirty areas with minimum staff traffic in clean areas.

    Important factors for controlling infection include appropriate design, controlled air quality, quality cleaning, impermeable clothing, hand scrubbing and patient preparation.

    The clean zone of an operating theatre should include a wide clean corridor, anesthetic room, recovery area, clean storage room, emergency autoclave and staff relaxation rooms.
