Investigations of some aspects of atmospheric pollution by anaesthetic gases. I: Diffusion of halothane across plastic and rubber tubes.

چکیده
Plastic and rubber tubing, of the types used frequently to convey anaesthetic gases to and from the patient, or anaesthetic waste gases out of the operating theatre, were assessed for their capacity to allow diffusion of halothane through the tube wall. The magnitude of this effect has been calculated in relation to pollution of the operating theatre atmosphere under different circumstances.

Anaesthetic pollution is of interest to people subject to low concentrations of all types of gases and volatile anaesthetic during occupational activities. The decrease in recent years in the number of relevant publications does not necessarily mean that pollution has gone away or that the problem has been solved. A number of coincidental factors have brought the matter back into consideration....
متن کاملOperating room air pollution: influence of anaesthetic circuit, vapour concentration, gas flow and ventilation.
Atmospheric halothane was sampled from three selected operating theatres and anaesthetic rooms during the middle of operating sessions. Two of the operating theatres studied were ventilated with total air exchange once every six minutes; the third operating theatre had no ventilation. End-tidal samples were obtained from anaesthetists. Halothane vapour concentrations were analysed by gas-liquid...
متن کاملSuitability of butyl rubber stoppers for closing anaerobic roll culture tubes.
Stringently anaerobic bacteria have been successfully cultured in rubber-stoppered roll tubes. Stoppers of certain types of rubber are so permeable to oxygen that they are unsuitable (Hungate, J. Bacteriol. 86:848, 1963). Butyl rubber is less permeable to gases than are many other types. The permeabilities of butyl stoppers and a common laboratory type to gases concerned in anaerobic culture wo...
متن کاملThe effect of ventilation system design on air contamination with halothane in operating theatres.
By measuring the halothane concentrations in samples of air from three different operating theatres during routine operating lists the pattern of spread of the waste anaesthetic gases has been demonstrated. The results show that in all the theatres there was a spread of halothane from its point of escape from the anaesthetic circuit to all parts of the theatre air. A turbulent flow ventilation ...
