RE: Principles of Surgical Instruments
Brings back memories for me. An OR nurse told me the other day that cautery smoke is now being considered dangerous. I replied that is obvious, one of the reasons I quit the job. I used to always suction the smoke away, but some surgeons thought it was pointless....
Hello, you're right @ceattlestretch, the cautery smoke has a very strong smell, some surgeons to not aspirate so much we use an aspiration probe at the time we cauterize tissue, likewise is preferable dissection using as little as possible this instrument.
