ABSTRACT
The present report is a research on air samples taken in the operating theatres environment in the hospitals of Umbria to control in order the concentration of anaesthetics in use and to define ambient pollution and to propose changes. The A.A. have divided operating theatres in for groups to analyze the data 1) operating theatres where there were both systems air change system and air intake system; 2) operating theatres where there was only the air-change system; 3) operating theatres where there was only the air intake system; 4) operating theatres where there were no systems. These data have been compared with the limit values advised by N.I.O.S.H. The lowest value of pollution have been recorded in those operating theatres with both systems. The A.A. have also compared the ethrane or other alogenated anaesthetics values in the air-change system equipped operating theatres with those (values) found in the intake-air system equipped operating theatres. The lowest values have been recorded in those operating theatres with normal air-change system. Where changes have been made to improve the operating theatres environment, the A.A. have effectuated new controls and found lower values of the anaesthetics levels. The concentration of anaesthetics appeared lower then before.
