Anaesthetic Gas Exposure

Anaesthetic gas exposure occurs when medical staff or patients inhale vapors from gases used during surgeries to induce anesthesia. Prolonged or high-level exposure can pose health risks, such as headaches, fatigue, or more serious effects on the kidneys or liver. To prevent this, hospitals use specialized ventilation systems and safety measures to ensure that these gases are safely removed from the environment. Proper training and protective equipment help minimize risks, maintaining a safe workplace for healthcare providers and patients.
