Assessing a Novel Method to Reduce Anesthesia Machine Contamination: A Prospective, Observational Trial

Assessing a Novel Method to Reduce Anesthesia Machine Contamination: A Prospective, Observational Trial

Background. Anesthesia machines are known reservoirs of bacterial species, potentially contributing to healthcare associated infections (HAIs). An inexpensive, disposable, nonpermeable, transparent anesthesia machine wrap (AMW) may reduce microbial contamination of the anesthesia machine. This study...
