| Popis: |
We present the case of an 11 month old boy with history of sagittal synostosis who underwent a cranial vault reconstruction for repair. During the case, surgical irrigation spilled onto the plug in the operating room table, resulting in sparks and a small fire. The fire was contained and extinguished. The patient suffered no injury. We discuss previous cases of fires in neurosurgical operating rooms and identify a new source of ignition for fires. We also explore recommended best practices for fire prevention and safety to identify ways to prevent instances like this from occurring in the future. |
