Sevoflurane Human Biomonitoring in Operating Room Personnel
Human Biomonitoring of Operating Room Personnel With Occupational Exposure to the Volatile Anaesthetic Sevoflurane

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
In this prospective observational trial 7 cohorts of 4 participants each are investigated. The cohorts consist of physicians working at different places in the operating theatre with different occupational exposure to sevoflurane, and one cohort not working in the operating theatre at all. In order to determine the extent of occupational exposure to sevoflurane a human biomonitoring is conducted. Urinary Sevoflurane and its metabolite hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) are measured after 3 consecutive working days.
UPDATE: After detecting traces of HFIP in all cohorts even in physicians not working in the operating theatre measurements were repeated, more cohorts were added including a negative control and measurements before the study period of 3 consecutive working days were added.
UPDATE: For comparison one cohort of patients having undergone sevoflurane anaesthesia was added.
