EDUCATIONAL SESSION
"Your stethoscope is hurting people: What we haven’t learned in 150 years of hand washing"
Sponsored by AseptiScope, Inc.
Monday, December 7, 2020
3:30 - 4:00 pm ET
Session Description:
150 years ago we learned that unwashed hands kill people. Yet today, extensive data shows that the stethoscope, which is the most frequently used medical instrument - indeed, the stethoscope is the clinician’s third hand - is rarely cleaned and, even when it is, it remains host to resistant pathogens that put patients at serious risk of exposure. What's an infection control specialist do? Data demonstrates that an effective and carefully designed solution to "the stethoscope as a vector" challenge may set a new standard of care in the battle to decrease rates of healthcare acquired infections.
