Sevoflurane Human Biomonitoring in Operating Room Personnel
Sevoflurane is a widely used volatile agent for induction and maintenance of anaesthesia. The administration of sevoflurane involves the risk of occupational exposure. Possible negative implications of chronic occupational exposure to sevoflurane are not completely refuted. In Germany no maximum workplace concentration for sevoflurane is defined. This study aims to find out if working conditions of physicians and different anaesthesia techniques effect the extent of occupational exposure to sevoflurane.
