“Exposure to isoflurane vapours in operating theatres: A comparative study”

Abstract

Summary Pollution and chronic exposure to waste anaesthetic gases may be a serious problem for operating theatre personnel. The authors reported the air contamination levels of isoflurane in the operating and preparation rooms at Clinica Chiruryica Veterinaria (University of Milan) and compared them with those of methoxyflurane, halothane and enflurane, previously detected in the sailie rooms.
