Cerrahi girişime bağlı olarak meydana çıkma olasılığı olan yangınlar, yaralanma ya da ölüm vakalarına yol açabilmekte; hukuksal sorunlara, ameliyathane çalışanları, hasta ve hasta yakınları üzerinde psikolojik travma gibi istenmeyen sonuçlara neden olmaktadır. Ameliyathane çalışanları ve hasta güvenliğini sağlamak icin yangını önleme ve yangın esnasında yapılması gerekenler konusunda protokollerin hazırlanması ve tahliye planlarının oluşturulması son derece önemlidir. Her kurum, ameliyathanelerde yangının önlemesi ve yangın sırasında hasta ve yaralıların tahliyesinin sağlanması için tüm çalışanlarına, kapsamlı ve uygulamalı eğitim vermeli ve verilen eğitimi senede bir kez mutlaka tekrarlamalıdır. Bu makalede ameliyathanede yangına neden olabilecek risk faktörleri, yangına karşı alınması ve bilinmesi gereken önlemler literatürler eşliğinde ele alınmıştır.
