Baseline Waste Anesthetic Gas Survey David Grant Medical Center Surgical Suite, Travis AFB, California.

Abstract

The current Air Force policy regarding waste anesthetic gases is to reduce exposure to operating personnel to a level as low as practical. To this end, the Air Force Surgeon General has mandated a control program which includes establishing baseline data and conducting semiannual routine surveys. Modifications in their gas delivery and scavenging systems required the David Grand USAF Medical Center, Travis AFB, CA, to request a survey by the USAF Occupational and Environmental Health Laboratory to establish a new baseline. This report presents the results of the revised baseline. Keywords include: forane, nitrous oxide and halothane.
