Mask protection against surgical smoke during hip replacement
This study looks at whether wearing different types of masks protects the surgical team from the smoke created by electrocautery during long hip replacement surgeries. If you are having a planned hip replacement that lasts over 2 hours, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a hip replacement (total or partial) that is planned in advance, not an emergency.
- Your surgery will use electrocautery, a tool that uses heat to cut tissue and stop bleeding.
- Your surgery is expected to last longer than 2 hours.

This study looks at how well surgical smoke is removed during operations that use energy-based tools. It checks if a simple pre-surgery reminder helps reduce smoke exposure for patients and staff.
This study tests a multi-strategy education program to help operating room nurses learn about the risks of surgical smoke and how to prevent harm. If you are an OR nurse, this training may improve your knowledge and safety habits.
This trial tests a computer system that uses real-time video from your surgery to detect smoke created by high-frequency surgical tools. If you are having this type of surgery, the system might help improve safety in the operating room.
This study checks how wearing a surgical mask or an N95 mask affects the air quality during surgery (called surgical smoke). It is for operating room nurses who work with surgical smoke regularly.
This study tests different ways of setting breathing support during open-heart surgery to reduce lung complications after surgery. It may help improve recovery by protecting your lungs while you are on the heart-lung machine.
This trial tests a special way of breathing support during robot-assisted surgery to protect your lungs. It's for people who are at higher risk of lung problems after surgery.
