Evidence of the harmful effects of surgical smoke has been recognized in the literature and by professional organizations for many years, yet surgical smoke continues to pose a safety hazard for patients and perioperative personnel. A team of perioperative nurses and educators sought to improve compliance with policies and procedures for surgical smoke management in the OR. The team quantified smoke-evacuator use, assessed staff members' knowledge using a pre-education survey, and presented a three-part multimodal education program. The team conducted a posteducation survey that showed significant improvement in staff members' knowledge. Ninety-day postimplementation quantitative data showed a 14.6% increase in surgical smoke-evacuation use. This educational initiative increased staff members' awareness about reducing the presence of surgical smoke in the OR and helped ensure a safer environment for patients, staff members, and the surgical team.
手术烟雾的有害影响在文献中以及被专业组织认识到已有多年，但手术烟雾仍然对患者和围手术期人员构成安全隐患。一组围手术期护士和教育工作者试图提高手术室手术烟雾管理政策和程序的合规性。该团队对烟雾抽吸器的使用进行了量化，通过术前教育调查评估工作人员的知识，并开展了一个由三部分组成的多模式教育项目。该团队进行了术后教育调查，结果显示工作人员的知识有显著提高。实施后90天的定量数据显示手术烟雾抽吸器的使用增加了14.6%。这项教育举措提高了工作人员对减少手术室手术烟雾存在的认识，并有助于确保为患者、工作人员和手术团队营造一个更安全的环境。
