This study was undertaken to evaluate potential inhalation hazards to operating room personnel after irradiation of tumors with the carbon dioxide laser. Cellular debris was analyzed for viability using labeled nucleotides and labeled glucose. In this way the plume was investigated for the presence of material with oncogenic potential. Most surgeons who have ablated venereal warts or certain tumors with the carbon dioxide laser have worried about possible hazards of inhaling the vapor that is produced as a result of their work. We utilized three methods to determine whether viable particles exist in the laser plume. Fortunately, it is most comforting that the metabolic studies, DNA and RNA studies and cytologic studies seem to indicate that the plume is biologically inactive.
本研究旨在评估二氧化碳激光照射肿瘤后对手术室人员潜在的吸入危害。使用标记核苷酸和标记葡萄糖分析细胞碎片的活力。通过这种方式，对羽流中是否存在具有致癌潜力的物质进行了研究。大多数使用二氧化碳激光切除尖锐湿疣或某些肿瘤的外科医生都担心吸入其工作产生的蒸汽可能带来的危害。我们采用了三种方法来确定激光羽流中是否存在有活力的颗粒。幸运的是，代谢研究、DNA和RNA研究以及细胞学研究似乎都表明羽流在生物学上是无活性的，这一点非常令人欣慰。
