Major(s) of all individuals presenting this work Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice
Bio of all individuals presenting this work Kristin is a Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice (DNAP) student currently completing her degree and preparing to enter practice as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA). Her capstone project focused on double gloving during airway management and its impact on reducing contamination of the anesthesia machine during intubation. Her academic and clinical interests center on patient safety, infection prevention, and evidence-based practices that improve perioperative outcomes.
Minna Nguyen is a Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice student who will complete her degree in Spring 2026. She is originally from Morgan Hill, California, and has seven years of nursing experience. Her professional interests include providing evidence-based anesthesia care, pursuing leadership roles within the profession, and contributing to nurse anesthesia education as a future educator.
Poster Title Double Gloving During Intubation to Decrease Contamination Rates
Abstract The purpose of this Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice (DNAP) project was to implement a practice change that resulted in more providers double gloving during intubation to decrease the contamination rates to the surrounding anesthesia workstation. The following PICO question guided our development of this project: Does using a double gloving technique (I) during intubation, compared to using a single glove technique (C), decrease contamination rates to the anesthesia machine (O) by anesthesia providers (P), therefore decreasing the risk of healthcare associated infections? Education was dispersed electronically in a large hospital system in central Orlando and surveys were done to assess if a practice change was accomplished after the provider viewed the educational flyer. A survey system called Qualtrics was used to collect survey data. Results showed that some providers already used this technique, some providers used a single glove technique and removed the gloves after intubation, and some kept the same gloves on after intubation. After the education was provided thirty-two percent of the anesthesia providers stated they were somewhat likely to change their current practice and fifteen percent stated they were extremely likely to change their practice.
