Description

What's the Problem?

  • Needed to develop and clarify the use of PPE in the COVID-19 era
  • New considerations for infection control in OR
  • Unique airway equipment and filter placement considerations
  • Potential shortages of equipment and medications, need for conservation
  • Need to incorporate human factors principles into protocol release and procedural compliance

We realized that there was no standard protocol for these functions existing in a visually compelling graphic form for wide distribution throughout anesthesia care areas, and sought to create one.
