    Effects on health from exposure to surgical smoke of operating room personnel
    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2019-02-17) Castillo Baca, Fanny Mary; Aponte Jara, Yesenia Iris; Gamarra Bustillos, Carlos
    Surgical smoke contains substances that are harmful to healthcare personnel, as 80% consists of water vapor and 20% includes substances such as formaldehyde (irritant and potential carcinogen), acetaldehyde (carcinogen), benzene (carcinogen), and toluene (respiratory and eye irritant as well as neurotoxic when inhaled). Additionally, hydrogen cyanide (3-51 parts per million), acetylene (2-8 parts per million), and 1,3-butadiene (0.15-0.69 parts per million) were identified in the plume. These chemical compounds can trigger harmful effects on the human body, including cancer and respiratory symptoms such as pharyngeal burning, nasal congestion, nausea, and headaches. Therefore, exposure to and inhalation of this smoke affects the health of operating room personnel, depending on the duration of exposure and the type of surgery performed, leading to long-term consequences.
