In terms of cross-contamination, you dont want to reinvent the wheel. My best suggestion is that a verbal cue should suffice.
When handing over a patient, the phrase "You have control... " should be followed, in the same breath, with pertinent infomation, in a decending order of importance.
The accepting medical personage should read back that infomation to you, followed by " ...I have control" to ensure it is understood.
This procedure ensures closure and should be followed between theatres.
For a more indepth run-down, contact the Civil Aviation Authority (U.K.) (they're in the phone book) and ask how you can get a hold of the Commercial Pilots' "Human Factors" study material. Flick to the C.R.M. (crew resource managment) section and cross-reference.
Best!

I still think you should have rigid protocols in place that EVERYBODY is briefed on and must follow to the letter. That will also take care of the short term 'locum' or 'attached' gasmen...

protocol
while i cannot say for sure without asking some one hiding in some office, i can safely say that i think that there is no protocol in this regard. i have worked in four hospitals in the uk and more in my country sri lanka. in this time i must have easily worked with atleast a hundred different anesthetists , senior and junior. yet never have i encountered anyone mention a protocol . we do have protocols for emergency situations such as cardiac arests and failled getting a pateint to breath etc , but never seen one with this regard.
