    In this educational video, we delve into the unexpected but critical topic of Operating Room Fires, a scenario that's fortunately rare yet demands urgent attention due to its potential implications for patient safety. Despite the rarity, it's crucial for medical professionals to understand the sources, history, and the swift response required to handle such situations.
    Operating room fires can originate from several sources, and in this video, we discuss them in detail. One major source is during ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) surgery, where lasers are often used close to the airway. In this high oxygen concentration environment, a spark can ignite a fire, leading to disastrous consequences. We explore how anesthesiologists and surgeons navigate this delicate balance between providing sufficient oxygen for patient survival and minimizing the risk of fire.
    We also delve into the intriguing history of flammable anesthetics. Anesthetics such as ether and nitrous oxide, while instrumental in pain management during surgery, were highly flammable. We provide a riveting account of how early anesthesiologists handled these volatile substances, ensuring patient comfort while keeping the surgical environment safe. You'll learn how advances in anesthetic drugs have dramatically reduced this risk, but how the principles of fire safety still remain critically important.
    Another potential fire source we uncover is bowel gases, including hydrogen. These gases, while typically harmless, can become flammable under certain circumstances. Our experts discuss the precautions taken to prevent any accidental ignition, especially during gastrointestinal surgeries.
    Furthermore, we talk about the role of flammable alcohol-based cleaning agents applied on the skin. While these agents are vital for maintaining surgical sterility, they also carry an inherent fire risk. We discuss best practices for their application and drying, mitigating the risk of fire while maintaining the integrity of the sterile field.
    Most importantly, we delve into the heroic and swift actions anesthesiologists take to put out these fires, ensuring patient safety. From promptly recognizing the signs of a fire, to swiftly cutting off the oxygen supply and smothering any flames, these actions are often the difference between a minor incident and a major catastrophe.
    Despite the seriousness of the subject, it's reassuring to remember that such events are exceedingly rare. This is largely due to the strict adherence to safety protocols and the vigilance of the surgical team. Nevertheless, understanding the risks and responses to operating room fires is a crucial part of medical training and practice.
    Join us in this enlightening journey as we illuminate the unseen corners of operating room safety. Whether you're a medical professional looking to brush up on your knowledge, or just curious about what goes on behind the scenes in an operating room, this video provides a comprehensive and engaging look into a rarely discussed but essential aspect of surgical safety.

      ​@@heidi5462How the heck do you twist a person engaging in a discussion with you as disrespect? Just because the perspective jmr1068204 expressed did not resonate with you? That's a two way street.
      It's absolutely crazy how people twist such things as disrespect, or aggression just because they don't agree 100% with the OG commenter. Chill out & stop taking everything as a personal attack. If you, or others don't wish to engage in a discussion, try this radical thing, don't post a public comment. Posting a public comment opens yourself up to replies. Many of which may or may not be in agreement with your original comment. It's not disrespect or a personal attack. 😂 Crazy over sensitivity in the world today.
      I happen to agree with jmr*. Many professionals have to learn a great deal of information with an equal level of understanding. A lawyer who does not can end up killing a client who may be facing the possibility of the death penalty, or loss of thier freedom for the remainder of thier natural life. With the very real risk of rape, great physical harm, or murder on a regular basis for the remainder of thier natural life. A mechanic who doesn't learn a vast amount of information with an equal level of understanding puts thier clients lives at great risk. Think about the great amount of faith you are putting in you mechanic the next time you drive away after having your breaks serviced.
      Hopefully you can see that this is not disrespect, or a personal attack. Just the expression of my perspective on the topic.
      This is an example of how our society tends to denigrate & under value professions that don't fit into the traditional white collar professions that require a university degree. Even though that profession can be mastered without that degree via an apprenticeship program. Interestingly, the UK is working on returning to the apprenticeship program for thier nurses & certain other healthcare professionals, or at least allowing it as an optional method of licensure.
      They found that they lost access to very capable individuals, and diversity of thought when they switched to the professional track only (university degree for licensure). The loss of diversity of thought has led to an increase in medical errors, and the repeating of these errors.

    Very interesting to know. Thank you.
    I’ve had a lot of surgeries and never knew this. There was one surgery about 12 years ago that,when I woke up there was a burn with several blisters on my right arm. The surgical staff was at a loss as to how it happened . The surgeon himself went back and did his own investing the o.r. I was in. It turned out the the ‘latex free’ wrap did in fact have latex in it. I’m very allergic to latex. So glad he figured it out,and no I didn’t file a complaint as it was not intentional.
    I do remember as a child 3 surgeries where they put me to sleep with the ether. Hated the smell and taste of it.
    Every once in a great while I will suddenly smell ether. Ufff.

      I haven't worked in 9 years, but it was getting like more and more medical supplies were manufactured as latex-free. When I first began working, most supplies had latex. It was a pain to get a patient with a latex allergy. Around the year 2000, our OR stopped stocking gloves (clean and sterile) that had latex. It was a great experience to just pick up whatever dressings were required and not have to read the entire wrapping looking for the word latex! I hope you won't have any more problems with this issue!

Said there’s a possibility my throat could catch fire so I need to sign this stating I’m aware of this!!! 😳. I was horrified!! My daughter was with me. She said you wait until you’re ready to take her back and just say ohhh by the way you might catch of fire, sign this so we can hurry up and get you done!! I was in total panic mode then.

      ​@@MedicalSecrets Writing here because is your most recent video, unrelated topic but relevant I think.
      Actually I do think that ptsd is caused by the JC virus triggering the 5ht2a receptors. Thats why serotonin releasing agents, agonists of the 5ht2a and antagonists of it are very effective. High stress will deplete serotonin, and and the competitive affinity of the virus will make it bind to the receptor, due serotonin depletion. This creates thought loops and stress that can be diagnosed as ptsd. The same way that the 5ht2a agonists can create thought loops. what do you think? Maybe pure antagonists of the 5ht2a receptors without being agonist at any receptor, like mitrazapine or cyproheptadine might be the ideal solution to this sindrome? Maybe because K agonizes this receptor( and displaced the virus from its place via competitive affinity) wiith but does not stimulate any other is that because it is such a good thing? Serotonergic receptor stimulation for way too much time might deplete serotonin. Maybe because after stimulating massively 5ht2a receptors with mmvsshiezz these (the receptors) close for 2 weeks thats why it is so effective? You dont have to have multifocal leukoencefalopathy to have a mild jc virus infection, specially when most of the population was infected at some point and at battlefield conditions eventual and transitory inmunosupression is likely to occur, and this makes it to migrate to the nerves and trigger them. Idk my opinion, insight and 2 cents. What do you think doc?

    I have been studying and following incidents of spontaneous human combustion. What you have explained about a person needing to refrain from chemicals, food and alcohol makes so much sense and could hold the key to what I have felt has been an overlooked obvious answer to predisposing people to this rare, but real phenomenon. I have taken notice that many people found either dead or just having something like an arm spontaneously combusting must come from a lethal internal mix of their bodies own gases, possible alcohol consumption and smoking or sitting next to a burning fire. Several people are older and likely to be on a drug that increases these flammable gases and ignition sources are within us such as static electricity in dry air on winter days ex. Approximately 5 years ago a man was found to have spontaneously combusted in Germany I believe in the early hours of the morning as he sat alone on a bench in a childs playground. Too many of the wrong people have raised awareness of this with no scientific data being offered. I honestly believe that you have the ability to prove out a scientific methodology to explain these points in a person going about their lives. I feel if risks were added to medication warning of the very rare possibility of combustion if taken with alcohol, while smoking or if they become constipated to seek immediate assistance, this could save a life no matter how small the risk...Saving even 1 life is worth just doing a little research into this little known occurance. Thank you again for allowing me to ramble my mad science in your direction. I just have to add that it would be amazing to be the person who discovered what SHC actually is.

I had not been under general anesthesia since 1982 when I miscarried and needed a D and C. I am 67 years old now and live in Poland. The level of care I received was excellent. The only problem was when the anesthesiologist attempted to insert the breathing tube, she couldn’t because of the location of my larynx. They could use only the mask. She said on the difficulty scale of 1 to 4 it was a 3. She also said that I should mention this to the doctors if I ever have any surgeries in the future so they can be prepared for it. She said it was obvious I followed the pre-procedure instructions well, because there were no complications using just the mask for my procedure. Because of not being able to fit the tube in my throat, my throat is sore and swollen but getting better everyday. My original doctor for the procedure is head of urology at this hospital. He is close to my age. A week out from my procedure he phoned me to say he had to assign another doctor to me because he himself was going to be in the hospital for his spine. I looked up reviews for the new doctor. He was young but trained at the oldest university here in Poland where Copernicus studied, Jagiellonian University. He received excellent reviews, as had my first doctor. One friend commented after seeing his photo "Oh, he is good looking. You’ll be fine."😂 I, and all my friends who I shared that comment with, had a good laugh. But then I remembered your video about personality types and what they say coming out of anesthesia. I told my friends I will be so embarassed if I make some comment about how young and cute he is.😅 Your videos were very helpful, informative and so interesting to watch before my procedure.Thank you for making them.

      I'll back you, Doc. I worked in a hospital OR for 16 years. I saw 1 during that time. It was from an error by the PA. A sponge began to burn when the bovie was fired up. There was no harm at all to the patient. Each facility will have policies that we're tested on yearly.

    A few years back, our hospital OR switched prepping solutions. We began counting 30 seconds for the skin prep to dry before placing drapes on the patient. We used to use betadine. Studies had found that betadine wasn't the best solution to use. It was drying to the skin, causing skin irritation. It also had a high alcohol content. Chloraprep was the better choice. It had a lower alcohol content. It had a higher microbial content. It was less irritating to the skin.
    As an OR RN, the OR dept. had our own policies and procedures for fire. Each suite has its own oxygen line running into the room. We had to cut that. We were recertified yearly.

    Just think out loud: 🤔 Makes me wonder, when I had my ‘96 Pontiac Sunfire car back in the day, every now and then when I would put gas in my car, I would get a shock when I was done fueling going back in my car. I wonder if my body had to much gas inside that I would be in risk of fire right there at the gas station? But I’m not a smoker or didn’t drink alcohol at that time, But did work in a company that manufactured hospital mask kits, Oxygen tubings and cannulas and we worked with a lot of solvent during that time, thankfully have never had to go under a surgery, I wonder if that would have made any of my former coworkers have a greater risk of fire if they needed a surgery.
    Great video Doc!

    I remember when the OR had those big tanks of O2 and other gasses. When I was working on pulse-ox and other monitors, we had to thru a 'class' on fire risk.
    Then they fired up the bovie knife and as a EE, I gotta admit being a little nervous. Then the odors took over my mental focus.
    I just remembered stories of ether being used to perform an emergency apendectomy in a submerged submarine in WW2. Using a sieve and a cloth while operating on the galley table. Sub crews did not have a Dr., but rather, a pharmacist who had to deal with basic(ish) first-aid. Can only imagine.

    I had triple surgery just 7 weeks ago. I never had surgery before so I was clueless about many things. If I knew about this, I would never had surgery. Too scary and I was nerve-racked as it is.
