Brief Summary

Background: Electrosurgery is used in almost all surgeries. The entire surgical team working in these operating rooms is exposed to surgical smoke. In the literature, there is no study examining the direct effect of surgical smoke on operating room staff and involving the entire surgical team in sampling. Materials and Methods: This experimental-type study was conducted in the operating room of the Department of General Surgery of a University Hospital. In the study, the surgeries were completed with standard practice and four different protective measures that could affect surgical smoke exposure. Blood and urine samples were collected from the surgical team before and after the surgery. Consequently, 70 blood and 70 urine samples were collected. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare pre- and post-operative analyses.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Investigation of the preoperative and postoperative blood samples on Surgical Smoke Protection-Experimental Study

  Electrosurgery is used in almost all surgeries. The entire surgical team working in these operating rooms is exposed to surgical smoke. In the literature, there is no study examining the direct effect of surgical smoke on operating room staff and involving the entire surgical team in sampling. Blood and urine samples were collected from surgical team before and after surgery. Blood samples were evaluated in the laboratory for volatile organic compound (benzene, toluene, xylene and styrene etc.)

• Investigation of the preoperative and postoperative urine samples on Surgical Smoke Protection-Experimental Study

  Electrosurgery is used in almost all surgeries. The entire surgical team working in these operating rooms is exposed to surgical smoke. In the literature, there is no study examining the direct effect of surgical smoke on operating room staff and involving the entire surgical team in sampling. Blood and urine samples were collected from surgical team before and after surgery. The urine samples were evaluated volatile organic compound (in terms of urinary metabolites benzene-phenol-TT muconic acid, toluene-hippuric acid-O, cresol, xylene-hippuric acid and phenol-phenol etc.) in the laboratory.

SMOKE PROTECTION

EXPERIMENTAL

Pre- and post-operative blood and urine samples of the surgical team (surgeon, surgical resident, anaesthesiologist, scrub nurse, circulating nurse, support staff and researcher), who worked in the standard practice, and the use of four different preventive measures that may affect the surgical smoke exposure during total mastectomy surgery in the operating room of the General Surgery Department of a University HospitaL. The surgical resident, anaesthesiologist, anaesthesia technician and support staff included in the study did not consist of the same people due to the change in the work schedules. Blood and urine samples were collected from a team of seven people before and after surgery \[7 volunteers × 2 (blood and urine before and after surgery) = 14 (14 blood analysis + 14 urine analysis) 14 × 5 surgery = 70 (70 blood analysis + 70 urine analysis)\].

Other: surgical smoke affects

Interventions

surgical smoke affects OTHER

The study, experimental type, was conducted to investigate the effects of five different methods on surgical smoke protection.

Also known as: blood and urine samples
