Abstract
An underpinning tenet of evidence-based practice is that all routine practices should be open to scrutiny. Questioning practice should not be limited to new, experimental procedures, but should also include examination of 'tried and trusted' techniques. Taking this perspective, the author recently contributed to a systematic review evaluating the use of antiseptics preoperatively.
