Original Title:
Kirurginen savu toimenpiteissä - henkilöstön riskit ja suojaus
Authors' objectives:
To summarize current recommendations for protection against hazards of surgical plume.
Authors' results and conclusions:
General room ventilation and the use of room suction units are not sufficient alone to control more substantial exposure to hazards of surgical smoke. The most effective way to control exposure to surgical smoke is to remove smoke at the surgical site using local exhaust ventilation (LEV).
Authors' recommendations:
Personal filtration masks are efficient and their use alongside LEV systems is recommended.
