Patients recovering from surgery in the post-anesthesia care unit exhale gases and nurses, upon ingesting the byproduct, can experience side effects including nausea, dizziness, headaches and fatigue, according to the report.

Teleflex’s CleanAir technology forces a unidirectional flow of oxygen through the mask to reduce waste gas leakage and improve patient delivery.
