Key result
Occupational inhalational anesthetic exposure linked to genotoxicity and impaired reproductive, liver, kidney, and immune function.
Why the study?
Exposure to inhalational anesthetics during the workday may affect anesthesiologists' health, including genomic, reproductive, and organ function impacts.

May warrant stricter OR exposure controls for anesthesiologists; supports multi-system risks in prior observational data.
Does exposure to inhalational anesthetics affect the health of anesthesiologists?
Occupational exposure to inhalational anesthetics may have adverse health effects on anesthesiologists, including genotoxic and reproductive impacts.
Ushakov et al. (2022) conducted a review in Occupational exposure to inhalational anesthetics (n=25). Inhalational anesthetics was evaluated on Health impacts (genotoxicity, reproductive health, liver and kidney function, immunity). Occupational exposure to inhalational anesthetics among anesthesiologists impacts genotoxicity, reproductive health, liver and kidney function, and immunity based on a review of 25 studies.
