Evaluation of waste anesthetic gases, monitoring strategies, and correlations between nitrous oxide levels and health symptoms / Norman Tran... [et al.]
Sumario: The release of waste anesthetic gases (WAG) in hospital operating rooms was evaluated to determine if staff exposure to nitrous oxide exceeded the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists Threshold Limit Value and investigate possible correlations between symptoms and nitrous oxide exposure. The monitoring strategy consisted of nitrous oxide measurements by personal monitoring of the anesthetists and scrub nurses, and area monitoring at the exhaust grills. In addition, room ventilation rates and carbon dioxide concentrations were measured
