Case history number 82: "nonflammable" fires in the operating room.
Fires can and do occur with presumably nonflammable anesthetic technics, especially in relatively closed areas such as the oral cavity. As long as we use high concentrations of O2 and N2O in the presence of potentially flammable material and a potent source of ignition, we must remain vigilant to minimize the chance of harming our patients by fire.
