Abstract:
Objective The purpose of this study is to define the pollution level of CO2 pneumoperitoneum in operation room and its influence on the health of medical personnel,and put forward certain countermeasures.Methods This research consisted of four groups of experiments,and gradually proved that the use of pneumoperitoneum machine would lead to air pollution in the operation room,and the health of medical staff were influenced too.The four experiments were:the maximum CO2 gas leakage experiment;laparotomy and pneumoperitoneum surgery in the operating room CO2 gas concentration control experiment;CO2 gas concentration increase on the influence of the medical staff experiment; long-time pneumoperitoneum surgery operating room CO2 gas concentration change experiment.Results The maximum CO2gas leakage situation could cause the operation room CO2 gas concentration to increase(＞ l 000× 104); pneumoperitoneum machine in actual use process,could cause the increase of CO2 gas concentration in operation room; increase of CO2 gas concentration had an impact on the vital signs of the medical staff,the heart rate and blood pressure were statistically different before and after the operation; during pneumoperitoneum surgery for a long time,indoor CO2 gas concentration increased (＞1000× 10-6)and reduced quickly postoperation.Conclusions The use of C02 pneumoperitoneum machine in operation room influence the health of medical personnel.Effective protective measures dealing with gas pollution should be taken to reduce the chronic injury to medical staff.
