There is the same risk in terms of similar airborne diseases of this study, it was investigated whether the surgical smoke generated due to cauterization used during the procedure in patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and going through surgical procedures contains COVID-19 virus RNA fragments (RTqPCR) and the chemicals contents of the surgical smoke were investigated by GC-MS.

Abstract

Depending on the use of electrocautery device in surgical procedures, the distribution of small particles oath the formation of surgery smoke occurs. Surgical smoke is as mutagenic as cigarette smoke oath contains many harmful oath carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds. of addition, viruses, bacteria oath live cells can be released during electrocauterization of tissues oath carried by surgical smoke. Inhalation of this smoke by the operating theater staff poses a danger. Despite the use of surgery masks oath operating theater ventilation, this danger is not completely eliminated. therefore, additional measurements oath safety measures are needed _ Of the COVID-19 pandemic, the risk of transmission from surgical smoke increases during the surgical processes of patients carrying this virus. There is the same risk in terms of similar airborne diseases of this study, it was investigated whether the surgical smoke generated due to cauterization used during the procedure in patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and going through surgical procedures contains COVID-19 virus RNA fragments (RTqPCR) and the chemicals contents of the surgical smoke were investigated by GC-MS.

Özet

Cerrahi prosedürlerde elektrokoter cihazının kullanımına bağlı olarak, küçük partiküllerin dağılımı ve cerrahi duman oluşumu meydana gelir. Cerrahi duman, sigara dumanı kadar mutajeniktir ve birçok zararlı ve kanserojen polisiklik aromatik hidrokarbon bileşiği içerir. Ayrıca, cerrahi dumanla taşınan dokuların elektrokoterizasyonu sırasında virüsler, bakteriler ve canlı hücreler açığa çıkabilir. Bu dumanın ameliyathane personeli tarafından solunması tehlike oluşturmaktadır. Ameliyathane havalandırmasında cerrahi maske kullanılmasına rağmen bu tehlike tamamen ortadan kaldırılamamaktadır. Bu nedenle ek ölçümlere ve güvenlik önlemlerine ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır _ COVID-19 pandemisinde, bu virüsü taşıyan hastaların cerrahi süreçleri sırasında cerrahi dumandan bulaşma riski artmaktadır. Hava yoluyla bulaşan benzer hastalıklar açısından da aynı riskin söz konusu olduğu bu çalışmada, COVID-19 tanısı almış ve cerrahi işlemlerden geçen hastalarda işlem sırasında kullanılan koterizasyon nedeniyle oluşan cerrahi dumanın COVID-19 virüsü RNA fragmanları içerip içermediği araştırılmış (RT- qPCR) ve cerrahi dumanın kimyasal içerikleri GC-MS ile incelenmiştir.
