Preventing Cross Contamination between the Patient and Anesthesia Workstation

Abstract

Hospital-acquired infections (HAI) cost billions of dollars in additional healthcare costs to treat infections. HAI's also result in additional days spent in the hospital by patients, which results in additional risk for complications due to increased length of stay. Delayed return to work and home is also a concern with a loss of productivity by workers. For the military, an increase in the length of stay by warfighters means a decrease in wartime readiness. This directly affects military medicine and readiness as one of the core tenets is returning warfighters to the battlefield.
