Abstract
Introduction Operating room workers are at risk of experiencing adverse effects due to occupational exposure to waste anesthetic gases (WAGs). One of the consequences of long-term WAGs exposure is the probability of developing deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage. This systematic review investigated the link between WAGs and DNA damage in operating room workers. Methods PubMed, Science Direct, ProQuest, Scopus, and EbscoHost, as well as hand-searching, were used to find literature on the relationship between WAGs and DNA damage. Three independent reviewers independently assessed the study's quality. Meta-analysis was conducted for several DNA damage indicators, such as comet assay (DNA damage score, tail's length, tail's DNA percentage), micronuclei formation, and total chromosomal aberration. Results This systematic review included 29 eligible studies (2732 participants). The majority of the studies used a cross-sectional design. From our meta-analysis, which compared the extent of DNA damage in operating room workers to the unexposed group, operating room workers exposed to WAGs had a significantly higher DNA damage indicator, including DNA damage score, comet tail's length, comet tail's DNA percentage, micronuclei formation, and total chromosomal aberration (p < 0.05) than non-exposed group. Conclusion Waste anesthetic gases have been found to significantly impact DNA damage indicators in operating room personnel, including comet assay, micronuclei development, and chromosomal aberration. To reduce the impact of exposure, hospital and operating room personnel should take preventive measures, such as by adapting scavenger method.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:10128-10135. [PMID: 36070043 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-022-22873-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2022] [Accepted: 08/31/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Some operating room personnel, such as orthopedic surgeons, are exposed simultaneously to inhalational anesthetics (IAs) and radiation that both can cause DNA damage. Some studies have shown that low doses of radiation reduce DNA damage when the cells are followed by a higher dose of the same or related agent. This study, therefore, set out to compare DNA damage in the anesthesiologists, radiologists, orthopedic surgeons, and healthcare staff (non-exposed group). In this cross-sectional study, breathing zone concentrations of anesthetic gas nitrous oxide (N2O) were measured in the studied groups using standard method. Additionally, DNA damage was measured by micronucleus (MN) assay. The mean concentrations of N2O in the anesthesiologists and orthopedic surgeons were 450.27 ± 327.44 ppm and 313.64 ± 216.14 ppm, respectively. The mean annual exposure to X-rays radiation in radiologists and orthopedic surgeons was 15.65 ± 8.46 mSy/year and 3.56 ± 1.32 mSy/year, respectively. MN frequencies were significantly higher in anesthesiologists and radiologists exposed to IAs and X-rays radiation respectively than in the non-exposed healthcare staff. While, there were no statistically significant differences between MN frequencies of orthopedic surgeons exposed to both IAs and radiation and healthcare staff. These findings suggest that an earlier exposure of orthopedic surgeons to a small dose of ionizing radiation can increase their resistance to genotoxicity caused by high doses of N2O, a phenomenon that is called adaptive response.

Abstract
Exposure to inhalation anesthetics (IAs) has been associated with DNA damage as reflected in the increased frequency of micronuclei (MN) and chromosomal aberrations (CAs). The present study was undertaken to ascertain whether there was any correlation between increased MN and CA and the extent of oxidative stress as well as the antioxidant status of a group of operating room personnel exposed to a mixture of IAs, including nitrous oxide, isoflurane, and sevoflurane. In this cross-sectional study, 60 operating room personnel (exposed group) in whom the frequencies of MN and CA had already been shown to be significantly higher than those of a referent group, as well as 60 unexposed nurses, were studied. Venous blood samples were taken from all participants, and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels as an index of oxidative stress (OS) and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and levels of total antioxidant capacity (TAC) as indices of antioxidant status were measured. The level of TAC (1.76 ± 0.59 mM vs. 2.13 ± 0.64 mM, p = 0.001) and the activity of SOD (11.22 ± 5.11 U/ml vs. 13.36 ± 4.12 U/ml, p = 0.01) were significantly lower, while the mean value of MDA was significantly higher (2.46 ± 0.66 µM vs. 2.19 ± 0.68 µM, p = 0.03) in the exposed group than in the nonexposed group. After adjusting for potential confounders, there were statistically significant associations between exposure to IAs, gender, SOD, and TAC with MN frequency and between exposure to IAs and SOD with numbers of CA. The findings of the present study indicated that exposure to IAs was associated with OS, and this, in turn, may be causally linked with DNA damage.

Pro-Con Debate: Nitrous Oxide for Labor Analgesia. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2019; 2019:4618798. [PMID: 31531352 PMCID: PMC6720045 DOI: 10.1155/2019/4618798] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2019] [Revised: 05/19/2019] [Accepted: 07/19/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
This Pro-Con debate will provide the practitioner with an evidence-based knowledge approach to assist the clinician in determining whether to employ (Pro) or not to employ (Con) this technique in the obstetrical suite for labor analgesia. Nitrous oxide has been used safely in dentistry and medicine for many centuries. However, accumulating preclinical and clinical evidence increasingly suggests previously unrecognized adverse maternal and fetal effects of nitrous oxide, which warrants reconsideration of its use in pregnant women and a more detailed informed consent. Nitrous oxide is associated with metabolic, oxidative, genotoxic, and transgenerational epigenetic effects in animals and humans that may warrant limiting its usefulness in labor. This debate will discuss and review the clinical uses, advantages, and disadvantages of nitrous oxide on occupational effects of nitrous oxide exposure, neuroapoptosis, FDA warning on inhalational anesthetics and the developing brain, research limitations, occupational exposure safety limits, effects on global warming, and potential for diversion.

Abstract
Due to their wide applications, concern exists regarding possible genotoxic effects of inhalational anesthetics (IAs) among operating room personnel. This study was undertaken to examine genotoxic properties of co-exposure to nitrous oxide, sevoflurane, and isoflurane on induction of micronucleus (MN) and chromosomal aberrations (CAs) and to determine whether any associations exist between polymorphisms of GST genes and the level of genomic damage measured by MN and CAs assays. Sixty operating room personnel and 60 unexposed referent nurses were studied. The workers' exposure to the IAs was determined. DNA damage was evaluated by MN and CAs assays. Additionally, the GSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1 polymorphisms were detected. The mean concentrations of nitrous oxide, isoflurane, and sevoflurane were found to be 850.92 ± 919.78, 2.40 ± 0.86, and 0.18 ± 0.14 ppm, respectively. The frequency of MN and CAs in the exposed group was significantly higher than that of the non-exposed group. The frequency of MN was significantly higher in referent nurses with null GSTT1, compared to referent nurses with positive GSTT1. The frequency of MN was significantly higher in exposed individuals carrying the combined genotype of GSTT1 (-), GSTM1 (-), and GSTP1 AG as compared with subjects carrying a combination of GSTT1 (+), GSTM1 (+), and GSTP1 AA. Statistically significant associations were noted between exposure to the IAs, gender, and the combination of the three GSTs genotypes with MN frequency. These findings indicate that inhalation exposure to IAs induces genotoxic response and the polymorphisms of GSTs genes might modulate the effect of exposure to IAs on MN.
