Before a room is occupied by a patient who has been operated on, it
should be thoroughly cleaned; the walls and ceiling should be well
brushed, the carpet taken away and the floor thoroughly scrubbed
with soda. All curtains and chintz furniture should be removed, old
window-blinds replaced by new green ones, and the window made to
open readily at the top and bottom. A fire or oil-lamp should be
lighted in the fireplace to maintain a circulation of air. If the
season require a fire, the iron fender should be removed and replaced
by a wooden tray of sand or ashes, to prevent the noise of cinders
and fire-irons falling on the fender and hearth. It is well also
to flush all the drains, water-closets and sinks in the house with
disinfecting fluid one or two days before the operation, and a store
of Sir William Burnett’s, or similar disinfecting fluid, should be
made ready to clear away the fœtid odours of discharges as they arise.
When possible, it is a great advantage to have two beds of similar
height and size, that the patient may occupy them alternately. The
cool bed refreshes the patient greatly, and the vacated bed is easily
cleaned and aired without fatigue to the sick person.
