Abstract
Use of a vacuum suction device during surgery will lower local oxygen concentration, and this in turn may decrease the risk of operating room fires. Although strategic tenting of surgical drapes has a theoretical benefit to decreasing the pooling of oxygen around the surgical site, further investigation is necessary before its routine use is recommended.
