1. Nosocomial infections can be fatal and increases overall healthcare costs
- Of every 100 hospitalized patients at any given time, 7 in developed and 10 in developing countries will acquire at least one health care-associated infection
- 10,000-20,000 end fatally
- 20-30% of nosocomial infections could be prevented by improved hygiene
- Nosocomial infections prolong hospital stay by an average of 10 days + access cost of $15,275 for confirmed hospital acquired infection

2. Ventilator-induced damages can be prevented
- Ventilation-induced lung injury can contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients
- The lack of humidification of medically administered gases leads to ventilation-induced lung damage and increased risk of infection
