Surgical smoke is produced during laser and electrosurgical procedures and can contain toxic chemicals, viruses and bacteria that threaten the health of surgical staff and patients alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBeing the only facility in the state with a fully smoke-free operating room (OR) is a reflection of our proactive investment in patient and staff health, and a clear indication of our leadership in surgical safety,\u201d said JRMC Surgery Manager Rhea Miller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JRMC plans to extend their smoke-free initiative to its OB-GYN department in the coming year. This proactive step ensures that women undergoing clinical procedures will benefit from the same rigorous safety protocols and air quality standards already in place in the main OR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe believe every patient deserves a smoke-free surgical environment \u2014 from general surgery to women\u2019s health,\u201d said JRMC President and CEO, Mike Delfs. \u201cExtending this standard to our OB-GYN services reinforces our commitment to advancing maternal care and protecting our staff who provide it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By implementing state-of-the-art smoke evacuation technologies and ensuring full compliance across all surgical procedures, JRMC has created a surgical environment where patients and professionals can feel confident about their safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visit jrmcnd.com to discover surgical procedures that are offered at the medical center or to schedule your appointment today.
