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.
