[Occupational hazards, DNA damage, and oxidative stress on exposure to waste anesthetic gases].
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The waste anesthetic gases (WAGs) present in the ambient air of operating rooms (OR), are associated with various occupational hazards. This paper intends to discuss occupational exposure to WAGs and its impact on exposed professionals, with emphasis on genetic damage and oxidative stress. CONTENT Despite the emergence of safer inhaled anesthetics, occupational expos...
متن کامل[Occupational hazards due to exposure to waste anesthetic gases].
The publication on ‘‘Occupational hazards due to exposure to waste anesthetic gases’’ is very interesting. Lucio LMC, Braz et al. noted that ‘‘The occupational hazards related to WAGs including genotoxicity, mutagenicity and oxidative stress, stand as a public health issue and must be acknowledged by exposed personnel and responsible authorities, especially in developing countries. Thus, it is ...
متن کاملOccupational exposure to trace concentrations of waste anesthetic gases.
The relationship between exposure to trace concentrations of waste anesthetic gases in the operating room and the possible development of adverse health effects has concerned health care professionals for numerous years. Results of studies have been conflicting. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, some US and European epidemiological studies of operating room personnel showed an increase in the ...
متن کاملDNA damage and antioxidant status in medical residents occupationally exposed to waste anesthetic gases.
PURPOSE To investigate the effects of occupational exposure to waste anesthetic gases on genetic material and antioxidant status in professionals during their medical residency. METHODS The study group consisted of 15 medical residents from Anesthesiology and Surgery areas, of both genders, mainly exposed to isoflurane and to a lesser degree to sevoflurane and nitrous oxide; the control group...
متن کاملEffect of Exposure to Ionizing Radiation on Biomarker of Oxidative Damage of DNA
Introduction: one of the most important complications of exposure to ionizing radiation is emergence of cancer tumors, which happens as a result of oxidative DNA. Therefore, the present study was conducted, aimed to measuring 8-DIHYDROxy- 2’- DEOXYGUANOSINE (8-OHdG) level in radiographers’ urine as oxidative damage biomarker, as well as comparing this biomarker with cumulative effective doses....
