Operating room fires are a rare but preventable danger in modern healthcare operating rooms. Optimal outcomes depend on all operating room personnel being familiar with their roles in fire prevention and fire management. Despite the recommendations of major safety institutes, this familiarity is not the current practice in many healthcare facilities. Members of the anesthesiology and the surgery departments are commonly not actively involved in fire safety programs, fire drills, and fire simulations that could lead to potential delays in prevention and management of intraoperative fires.
手术室火灾在现代医疗手术室中虽罕见但可预防。最佳结果取决于所有手术室人员熟悉其在火灾预防和火灾管理中的角色。尽管主要安全机构提出了建议，但在许多医疗设施中，目前并未做到这种熟悉程度。麻醉科和外科的成员通常未积极参与消防安全计划、消防演习和火灾模拟，而这些活动可能导致术中火灾预防和管理出现潜在延误。
