    Journal: Prakt Anaesth; 1976 Aug; 10(4):213-21. PubMed ID: 967788.
    Abstract:
    Cross infection has become a serious risk to hospitalized patients. Potential sources of infection by anaesthetic apparatus and equipment and the danger arising from disregard of proper asepsis are discussed. Prophylactic and hygienic measures to minimize these hazards are reviewed. Since patients receiving intensive therapy are particularly are risk very high hygienic standards are a "must" in these units. The need for thoroughly and regularly checking all equipment for contamination is emphasized.
