Abstract

Nowadays hospital infections have become one of the most serious health problems in the world. In all released guidelines for infection control in daily anaesthesia practice, health care units are required to take precautions against infections. Anesthesia equipments are potential vectors for contamination with microorganisms and proper storage, preparation, maintenance of drugs, and meticulous cleansing equipment reduce the risk of infection. Anesthetists should ensure the safest conditions in the operative room and protect the patients against potential pathogens. The aim of these precautions is to prevent the transmission of microorganisms between patient and anaesthetists and to make these practices a part of daily routine.

Özet

Hastane enfeksiyonları, günümüzde dünyanın en önemli sağlık sorunlarından biri haline gelmiştir. Anestezi pratiğinde enfeksiyon kontrolüne yönelik yayınlanan rehberlerde sağlık kuruluşlarının enfeksiyonu engellemeye yönelik uygulamalar yapma zorunluluğu bulunmaktadır. Anestezi ekipmanı, mikroorganizmaların konta-minasyonunda potansiyel bir vektör olup, ilaçların ve ekipmanın uygun saklanması, hazırlanması, bakımı ve dikkatli temizlenmesi hastanın enfeksiyon riskini azaltır.Anestezist, ameliyathanede en güvenli koşulların sağlandığından emin olmalı ve potansiyel patojenlere karşı hastaları korumalıdır. Önlemlerin amacı organizmaların hastalar arasında veya anestezist ile hasta arasında geçişini engellemek ve anestezistler için bunu anestezi pratiğinin günlük uygulaması haline getirmektir.
