title: [Prevention of risk of cross-infection through the respiratory system during anesthesia].
abstract: The authors present a modern concept of prevention of cross contamination during forced ventilation of the lungs in the course of total anesthesia and operation. The optimal complex of measures of individual protection of a patient includes hygienic measures, use of sterile respiratory systems (better disposable), obligatory use of respiratory filters between the intubation tube and T-piece of the narcosis and respiration device; hydrophobic folded membrane filters should be preferred. Studies carried out at Anesthesiology Department of Research Center of Surgery of Russian Academy of Medical Sciences indicate that BB 22-15 filters (Pall Corporation) reliably protect patients from cross-contamination realized through respiratory gases and biological fluids (blood, saliva, condensate) and save heat and humor. Hydrophobic folded membrane filter BB 22-15 is highly effective, which recommends it for wide use.
