摘要: ABSTRACTThe objective of this study is to analyze the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in surgical smoke generated during laparoscopic surgery, and determine their influence on indoor air quality hospital operating rooms (ORs). Field measurements were carried out eight surgeries conventional robotic ORs which an electrosurgery system was being used, thus continuously generating smoke. The VOCs measured at three different locations, patients’ abdominal cavities, beside table, exhaust vent. Other pollutants including carbon monoxide (CO), dioxide (CO2), total airborne bacteria (TAB) assess general ORs. results from cavities confirmed that contained abundant VOCs, with levels benzene toluene exceeding health guidelines. Compared obtained cavity, table vent exhibited low indicating actual exposure these minimized a highly-ventilated room. However, concentration room approached level threatens occupants. Therefore, suggest there potential risk surgeon who closest point origin gas, as well need for further attention identify local pollutant dispersion near while ventilation operating.
