Abstract
The chances of cross-infection are remote from the commensals or non-pathogenic micro-organisms occurring normally on inhalation anaesthesia equipment. The organisms are less likely to be carried over to the patient from a contaminated anaesthetic machine during the usual flow of anaesthetic gases. During breathing and coughing there is little or no risk of infection from remote parts of the anaesthesia apparatus, but the chances of cross-infection are greater from facepiece, metal anglepiece, endotracheal tube connector and catheter mount.
