How to Manage Surgical Smoke in Your Operating Room

To mitigate surgical smoke in the operating room, regulatory agencies including the Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN), have adopted multi-pronged strategies that include personal protection, local exhaust ventilation, and specialized smoke evacuation technology.

Smoke Evacuator

Smoke evacuation system is specialized to vacuum up surgical smoke near the surgical site. In their Perioperative Standards and Recommended Practices, the AORN recommends following the NIOSH smoke evacuator guidelines. The NIOSH states the smoke evacuator wand should be placed at a maximum of two inches from the source of the surgical smoke plume. This helps to trap the majority of the smoke before it disperses.

Smoke evacuators typically feature a multi-stage filtration process to remove toxins and particulate matter from surgical smoke.
