Smoke evacuation devices (SEDs) are readily available at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital (DCH), though a 2020 gap analysis showed they are used in only 3.2% of annual smoke-generating cases. Surgical smoke evacuation legislation was introduced January 1, 2023, in Oregon, requiring hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers to prevent surgical smoke exposure in ORs. The goal of this quality improvement (QI) was to quantify the use of and track compliance of surgical smoke evacuation, while helping the facility to attain the AORN Go Clear recognition. 000043333 540__ $$fCC BY 000043333 542__ $$fPublic domain 000043333 650__ $$aAir Pollutants, Occupational$$014376 000043333 650__ $$aQuality Improvement$$039456 000043333 650__ $$aHospitals, Pediatric$$020351 000043333 650__ $$aOperating Rooms$$023217 000043333 651__ $$aOregon$$041094 000043333 6531_ $$asurgical smoke evacuation 000043333 691__ $$aOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000043333 692__ $$aSchool of nursing 000043333 7001_ $$aMartyak, Patrick$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000043333 7201_ $$aKim, Thornton$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$eCorresponding author$$7Personal 000043333 7201_ $$aSoelberg, Julie$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$eAcademic advisor$$7Personal 000043333 8564_ $$945a88ce4-b7d9-4fb9-af9b-fb6e20a3f867$$s1255073$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/43333/files/Martyak.Patrick.2024.pdf 000043333 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:43333$$pstudent-work 000043333 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations 000043333 981__ $$aPublished$$b2024-06-13
