Description
Controlling what cannot be seen should be a priority in the operating room. Air quality is critically important. Many healthcare facilities overlook the role that contaminated air may play in the risk of infection. Operating rooms contain many different types of particulate matter and perioperative activities may increase the spread of airborne contaminants. During surgery the entire surgical team and the patient are exposed to airborne particles that carry harmful contaminants.
This program will provide healthcare providers and leaders with considerations for promoting a safe environment discussing airborne hazards, actions, and technologies that can be implemented to remove the health and infection risks to the surgical team and patient.
