Abstract:
Surgical devices and methods described herein reduce the risk of surgical fires for patients receiving supplemental oxygen. Airflow with elevated concentrations of oxygen is drawn away from a surgical field when the tubing is fluidly connected to a suction source. Tubing may be strategically positioned at locations presenting risk of oxygen gas buildup, such as the nasofacial sulcus or bucco-facial sulcus. Apertures are present in the turbine wall to draw airflow away from the surgical field and into the tubing. Various embodiments are contemplated in which the tubing is used with a surgical mask or a surgical drape, and a method of use is provided.
