Abstract

Aim: This study aims to investigate the effects of surgical smoke in research hospitals in the Western Black Sea and Eastern Marmara Region and precautions taken for protection. Method: This descriptive study was carried out on nurses working at operating rooms of four training and research hospitals (n=105) between April 1 and June 30, 2015. The study data were collected with the data collection form consisting of 15 questions incorporating socio-demographic and work characteristics of nurses, surgical smoke risks and the precautions they take to avoid these risks. The data were assessed through descriptive statistics such as number, percentage, mean and standard deviation. Results: It was determined that with a mean age of 34,61±5,83, the nurses experienced problems such as headaches related to exposure to surgical smoke in operating room environment (61.9%), dizziness (32.4%), watering of the eyes (54.3%), throat burning (43.8%) and cough (41.0%). 90.5% of the nurses stated that there were general ventilating systems in operating rooms they worked in and 89.5% that no smoke removal devices existed. However, only 45.5% of the nurses working at operating rooms with removal devices said that the devices were actually used and 72.4% that there were no filters on smoke removal devices or they did not know if there were filters on them. 96.2% of the participants reported that there were no protocols in their operating rooms for protection against surgical smoke or they did not know if such a protocol existed or not. It was determined that 85.7% of the nurses used surgical masks to protect themselves from smoke. Conclusion: It was observed that the precautions taken to avoid surgical smoke in operating rooms were insufficient and the nurses suffered from related symptoms. It is suggested that precautions be taken for protection against surgical smoke in operating rooms and written protocols be set for this purpose.

Özet

Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı, Batı Karadeniz Bölgesi ve Doğu Marmara Bölgesi'ndeki araştırma hastanelerinde cerrahi dumanın etkileri ve korunmaya yönelik alınan önlemlerin incelenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tipte olan araştırma 1 Nisan-30 Haziran 2015 tarihleri arasında dört eğitim ve araştırma hastanesinin ameliyathanelerinde çalışan hemşirelerle gerçekleştirildi (n=105). Araştırma verileri, hemşirelerin sosyo-demografik ve çalışma özellikleri, cerrahi duman riskleri ve bu risklerden korunmaya yönelik aldıkları önlemleri içeren 15 sorudan oluşan veri toplama formu ile toplandı. Veriler sayı, yüzde, ortalama, standart sapma gibi tanımlayıcı istatistiklerle değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Yaş ortalaması 34,61±5,83 olan hemşirelerin ameliyathane ortamında cerrahi dumana maruz kalmaya bağlı baş ağrısı (%61,9), baş dönmesi (%32,4), gözlerde sulanma (%54,3), boğazda yanma (%43,8), öksürük (%41,0) gibi sorunlar yaşadıkları belirlendi. Hemşirelerin %90,5’i çalıştıkları ameliyathanelerde genel havalandırma sisteminin olduğunu, %89,5’i duman tahliye cihazının olmadığını, cihaz bulunan ameliyathanelerde çalışan hemşirelerin ise sadece %45,5’i cihazın kullanıldığını ve %72,4’ü cerrahi duman çıkaran aletler üzerinde filtre olmadığını ya da varsa bilmediklerini belirtti. Katılımcıların %96,2’si cerrahi dumandan korunmak için ameliyathanelerinde mevcut bir protokolün olmadığını ya da böyle bir protokol varsa da bilmediklerini belirtti. Cerrahi dumandan korunmak için hemşirelerin %85,7’sinin cerrahi maske kullandıkları belirlendi. Sonuç: Ameliyathanelerde cerrahi dumandan korunmaya yönelik alınan önlemlerin yetersiz olduğu ve hemşirelerin buna bağlı semptomlar yaşadığı görüldü. Ameliyathanelerde cerrahi dumandan korunmaya yönelik önlemlerin alınması ve yazılı protokollerin oluşturulması önerilmektedir.
