Our theatres use a scavinging system which protects her from this and they have had levels monitored satisfactorily. She is also not in direct access to the gases.
 
Having discussed this with the theatre manager the risk assessment was fine.

I take it that the risk of spontaneous abortion due to exposure to inhaled anesthetic is no longer an OH concern?

Hi Clive,

 

I am sorry that I am not able to help about an appropriate skin cleansing agent, however I am curious to know whether she has been risk assessed for working in theatre in regard of her pregnancy?

 

Thank you

 

N.

Hi to you all,

Can anyone help! I have a theatre scrub nurse who is unable to use Bethadine as she is pregnant, she is sensitive to Chlorhexidine and she was given Tricolsan by pharmacy which lit her hands up under the gloves in theatre like the sun glowing. Does anyone else know what I could get her to try or should I remove her from scrub duties.

Hope you can help

Regards
