Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., committed immigration fraud, and how President Donald Trump can win the messaging war over the ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran.
Victor,
Your surgeon was smoking around ether? Ether is highly flammable and has a low flashpoint.
I’m not an anaesthesiologist, but I’m quite sure they wouldn’t use ether for a laparoscopic appendectomy as the surgeon cauterizes the tissue with electricity instead of cutting it. Obviously this would create a serious safety risk to you, the patient, as well as everyone else involved. Cauterizing the tissue has the advantage of being less traumatic to the pt. which means a quicker recovery. Preventing a serious fire hazard is also why they use CO2 to inflate the abdominal cavity and not oxygen. Oxygen, like ether, is highly flammable.
