Research was conducted to determine the prevalence and severity of chronic venous disorders (CVD) among people working in prolonged sitting or static standing postures. Clinical examination and duplex Doppler sonography were performed on 126 employees working in a sitting (96 individuals) or a standing posture (30 individuals). Evidence of CVD was found in 59.4% of individuals working in a sitting posture and in 83.4% of those working in a standing posture, and was significantly higher in employees working in a standing posture (p = .015). Incompetent perforating veins and vena saphena magna valves, and bilateral changes were the more frequent signs of CVD. The investigation showed that prolonged standing and sitting at work increases risk of developing CVD. Further, people working in a standing posture are at a significantly greater risk for CVD than those working in a prolonged sitting posture. They should thus be the subject of specific prophylaxis interventions.

Assessment of Textiles for Use in Operating Theatres with Respect to the Thermal Comfort of Surgeons

Materials used to manufacture surgical clothing ensembles are characterised by high barrier properties protecting surgeons and patients against germs. However, medical clothing made of those materials should not induce thermal stress. Such an uncomfortable sensation experienced by surgeons can decrease their psychomotor skills and, at the same time, adversely infuence the way an operation procedure is carried out. Te objective of this paper is to present a problem which afects the majority of surgeons: the too high thermal insulation of medical clothing ensembles, which results in thermal stress experienced by this professional group.
