Strategies for Greener Hospital Operating Rooms
C8 Phased Out of Food Wrappers In July 2012 the U.S. FDA released a statement that manufacturers had voluntarily ceased selling agents containing the compound C8 for food-contact use the prior summer. At that time, manufacturers had predicted stocks of the agents and packaging containing them would be depleted within a year. C8, or perfluorooctanoic acid, was used to keep oil and grease from se...
متن کاملCauses of nitrous oxide contamination in operating rooms.
BACKGROUND To reduce the ambient concentration of waste anesthetic agents, exhaust gas scavenging systems are standard in almost all operating rooms. The incidence of contamination and the factors that may increase the concentrations of ambient anesthetic gases have not been evaluated fully during routine circumstances, however. METHODS Concentrations of nitrous oxide (N2O) in ambient air wer...

the child’s distress. It may be that effective methods of training can be developed for parental presence during induction of anesthesia. Therefore, in our center, we do not offer parental presence to all patients, but rather respond to each request based on the individual child, parent, and anesthesiologist. We agree that separation anxiety is a major problem after surgery in children. This po...
متن کاملFactors influencing microbial colonies in the air of operating rooms
BACKGROUND The operating room (OR) of the hospital is a special unit that requires a relatively clean environment. The microbial concentration of an indoor OR extrinsically influences surgical site infection rates. The aim of this study was to use active sampling methods to assess microbial colony counts in working ORs and to determine the factors affecting air contamination in a tertiary refer...
متن کاملModeling environmental contamination in hospital single‐ and four‐bed rooms
UNLABELLED Aerial dispersion of pathogens is recognized as a potential transmission route for hospital acquired infections; however, little is known about the link between healthcare worker (HCW) contacts' with contaminated surfaces, the transmission of infections and hospital room design. We combine computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of bioaerosol deposition with a validated probab...
