#193 Sustainable and Safe Anesthesia Care

Welcome to the next installment of the Anesthesia Patient Safety podcast hosted by Alli Bechtel.  This podcast is an exciting journey towards improved anesthesia patient safety.We are highlighting the impact of single-use, disposable products during anesthesia care on patient safety, the environment, and the checkbook. Making the switch to reusable devices can make a big difference with decreased environmental impact and cost while maintaining patient safety and supply availability. Our focus today is on blood pressure cuffs, gowns, OR hats and arm coverings, and pulse oximetry probes for the exciting conclusion of this two-part series.Additional sound effects from: Zapsplat.For show notes & transcript, visit our episode page at apsf.org: https://www.apsf.org/podcast/193-sustainable-and-safe-anesthesia-care/© 2024, The Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation
