In a retrospective study (by questionnaire) of 8032 personnel exposed to anaesthetic gases in operating and recovery rooms in Ontario hospitals, and 2525 non-exposed hospital staff, the response was 78.8% for the exposed and 87.2% for the unexposed personnel during the period 1981-5. Logistic regression analysis, with age and smoking standardised, showed that women in the exposed group had significantly increased frequencies of spontaneous abortion and their children had significantly more congenital abnormalities (p less than 0.05). No chronic disease was significantly associated with the exposed group. These findings, together with similar ones from other studies, suggest that it is prudent to minimise exposure to waste anaesthetic gases.
在一项针对安大略省医院手术室和恢复室中8032名接触麻醉气体的人员以及2525名未接触麻醉气体的医院工作人员的回顾性研究（通过问卷调查）中，1981年至1985年期间，接触组的回复率为78.8%，未接触组为87.2%。在对年龄和吸烟情况进行标准化处理的逻辑回归分析中，结果显示接触组中的女性自然流产频率显著增加，其子女出现先天性异常的情况也显著更多（p<0.05）。未发现慢性病与接触组有显著关联。这些发现以及其他研究的类似结果表明，尽量减少接触麻醉废气是审慎之举。
