Abstract
We surveyed 102 maternity suites to investigate whether the guidelines of the Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland, for the use of anti-infective filters or fully disposable anaesthetic breathing systems for each patient, were being followed with regard to Entonox equipment on labour wards. Of 100 units giving information (98%), only seven used filters and only two replaced tubing between cases. Our survey shows that the recommended policy is not being applied to Entonox apparatus in delivery suites.
