Someone farted during surgery and caused a fire? What else do you not know about the operating room?

Regarding the question of how patients wear clothes in the operating room, the previous information is relatively scattered, so here is a summary for everyone:

If the surgery is on the upper body, most of the time you only need to take off your shirt but not your pants (for major surgeries that last a long time and require catheterization, you will need to take off your pants).

The same is true for lower body surgeries, most of which require taking off pants but not shirts (for surgeries that require vital sign monitoring such as electrocardiograms, it is necessary to partially remove the shirt).

For abdominal surgeries, you will need to take off your shirt and part of your pants, exposing 1/3 of your thigh.

If it is a major surgery such as a cancer tumor, the doctor needs to pay real-time attention to the changes in the patient's multiple organs, or a more complicated surgery such as a knee replacement, or some gynecological and urological surgeries, all clothes need to be taken off.

Finally, be sure to follow the doctor's instructions! If the doctor has told you to fast and not drink before the operation, please be patient.
