Summary

The practice of intubation and extubation is not without risks to the anesthesiologists. Especially, the face of health care worker is the body part most commonly contaminated by splashes and sprays of body fluids. The aim of this study is to determine the incidence of unrecognized exposure to the anesthesiologists' face during endotracheal intubation and extubation. We will perform face shield swab before and after the endotracheal intubation and extubation. All swabs will be cultured for 48 hours and the number of colony forming units before and after the procedures (intubation/extubation) will be compared.
