About this listen
Surgical smoke isn’t just unpleasant—it’s dangerous.
In our latest First Case: Articles on the Go episode, we shed light on the harmful particles released during common surgical procedures—and the risks they pose to perioperative professionals.
Despite decades of research confirming the presence of carcinogens, mutagens, and infectious material in surgical smoke, consistent regulation and protection remain lacking in many ORs.
This episode explores:
-
The health hazards associated with surgical smoke exposure
-
The importance of smoke evacuation systems
-
Legislative progress across the U.S.
-
How perioperative professionals can educate, advocate, and drive change
