| pubmed-article:1561248 | pubmed:abstractText | Careful analysis of electrocautery smoke produced during breast surgery has found organic compounds that are unidentifiable with current analytical techniques. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential mutagenicity of the smoke produced by the electrocautery knife during reduction mammaplasty. Multiple air samples were collected in the operating room during two reduction mammaplasty procedures. Airborne smoke particles were tested for mutagenic potential in both tester strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA98 and TA100) using the standard Salmonella microsomal test (Ames test). All testing was performed by the Hazard Evaluations and Technical Assistance Branch of the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health. The smoke produced with the electrocautery knife during reduction mammaplasty was found to be mutagenic to the TA98 strain. The Ames test, an established technique for evaluating the mutagenicity of a substance, was convincingly positive for the smoke collected during the breast surgery. Whether the smoke represents a serious health risk to operating room personnel is not known. Development of techniques to limit electrocautery smoke exposure in the operating room appears to be needed, and surgeons should attempt to minimize their exposure. | lld:pubmed |
