Summary
This study tested a new, objective method to check if a patient's skin is clean before surgery. Researchers compared a simple swab test (ATPmetry) against the current standard, which is a nurse looking at the skin. The goal was to see if the swab test is a reliable and practical way to ensure proper skin preparation, which helps prevent infections.
