  • Summary

  • What if a simple change in routine could save lives in the operating room? Join us as we explore this possibility with Jonathan Charnin, who shares his expertise and passion for improving hand hygiene practices in anesthesia. Hand hygiene may seem like a small detail, but it plays a crucial role in preventing the spread of pathogens and reducing surgical site infections.

    We'll unravel the complexities behind implementing effective hand hygiene protocols and discuss the obstacles and opportunities that lie ahead. Discover the startling truth about how many hand hygiene events should occur during a routine anesthetic (hint: the answer is 8 times every hour). This episode promises to enrich your knowledge and commitment to patient care, as we highlight how meticulous attention to hand hygiene and environmental contamination can drastically improve outcomes in the perioperative setting.
