1.SURGICAL SMOKE What is in it? What are the potential hazards? What measures are there to prevent exposure? Supporting papers.

2.Where does it come from? Pyrolysis from; Lasers Diathermy (Cut and coag) Harmonic scalpels

Exceptions to the rule RF generated cautery RF generated cutting

3.What does it contain? Acrolein, CO, Creosols, Formaldehyde, Hydrogen Cyanide, Phenol. Benzene, Methane, Propene, Styrene, Toluene - amongst 70 others Intact viral DNA!!! Intact Cancer cells!!!

4. Particle size Bone wetted with blood. Coag mode >20% less than 0.1 Micron Cut mode>40% less than 0.1 micron

5.Is there a danger to theatre staff. NIOSH study 1989 (report No ) showed that contaminates were in the breathing zone of staff. HIV is known to be able to infect alveolar macrophages by bonding with their CD4 receptor sites. Some surgeons have claimed they have contracted HPV from Lazer smoke plume in treating Vaginal warts.

6.Is there a danger to theatre staff The mere presence of the chemicals listed in slide 3 is a great cause for concern (NIOSH statement).

7.Is there a danger to patients In a study of female patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery using a smoke generating device, 100% had an abnormal and significant elevation of methemoglobin levels in their blood.

8.Prevention Smoke extractors Masks and goggles Hood and helmet systems Plumeaway
