Explosion Hazards in Anaesthesia

J. M. WISHART M.D.1

1 Peterborough, Ontario

I have presented a résumé of the explosion hazards and some suggestions on how to circumvent this danger. I have also presented a brief report of three personal cases of fire or explosion. It is suggested that most fires or explosions are the result of carelessness or negligence on the part of operating room personnel. Thus even when all safety measures, from the physical standpoint, are practised, it is necessary to ensure that all individuals present know of and practise all the safety precautions recommended.

Note:

Presented at a joint meeting of the Ontario Division, Canadian Anaesthetists' Society and the Sections of Anaesthesia and General Practice of the Ontario Medical Association at Kingston, Ontario, October 20, 1956.
