A study to quantify surgical plume and survey the efficiency of different local exhaust ventilations

Abstract This study aimed to compare the concentration of surgical smoke produced by different tissues and electric diathermy modes and to measure the effectiveness of various local exhaust ventilations. We compared the surgical plume concentration from different tissues and settings with a porcine...

We compared the surgical plume concentration from different tissues and settings with a porcine tissue model.

In the cutting setting, the skin tissue had a higher concentration of total suspended particulates (TPS), which were 1990 ± 2000 (mean ± SD, μg/m3), 6440 ± 3000 and 9800 ± 2300 at 15, 30 and 45 s, respectively (p < 0.05). In the coagulation setting, the adipose tissue had a higher concentration of TPS, which were 3330 ± 2600, 11,200 ± 5500 and 15,800 ± 7300, respectively (p < 0.05). We found that all three smoke extractors had more than 96% efficiency in clearing surgical smoke. With electric diathermy, skin tissue in the cutting model and adipose tissue in the coagulation mode will produce higher concentration of particles within surgical plumes. An electric surgical scalpel adapted with a urethral catheter is a simple and effective way to exhaust smoke in surgical operations.Ping-Chia ChengMing-Hsun WenWan-Lun HsuPo-Wen ChengLi-Jen LiaoNature PortfolioarticleMedicineRScienceQENScientific Reports, Vol 11, Iss 1, Pp 1-8 (2021)
