The primary motivation of this white paper is to alert healthcare professionals, particularly those working in PACU/recovery rooms, about the significant health risks associated with exposure to Waste Anesthetic Gases (WAGs) from post-surgical patients, and to strongly advocate for the widespread implementation of readily available scavenging systems to mitigate these risks by controlling WAGs at their source, while also encouraging monitoring and reporting of potential adverse health effects among nurses due to WAG exposure; essentially aiming to raise awareness, promote preventative measures, and establish practices to protect healthcare workers from WAG-related health hazards.
Here’s a Sneak Peek of What’s Inside:
- WAGs as a major concern
- High-risk patient populations
- Available Solutions
