Good morning Emer

I am not familiar with these mattresses. Do they have an overall cover to keep them in place & allow to easy cleaning, and then you just change segments as required?

Would the AORN guidelines be of help to you?

Terry Smith started the topic Humidified Oxygen in the forum Environment, Equipment & Products 6 years, 2 months ago

Hi All,
Has anyone any guidance in relation to the use of humidified Oxygen and infection control piece? I have been informed that one palliative ward will not use it due to infection control risks? I don’t see any new guidance saying it is a risk. Any thoughts?
Thanks ,
Terry
