Accepted Answer

Answers will vary but should include such answers as (A) an oxygen-enriched environment, nitrous oxide supports combustion in the presences of oxygen. (B) Ignition sources such as ESU, electrocautery, lasers, fiberoptic light sources, defibrillators, sparks from burrs, electrical shorts. (C) Fuel sources such as flammable chemical gases or liquids such as alcohol, Duraprep, Chloraprep, surgical drapes, oxygen tubing, and disposable surgical supplies. Sterile water on the field, wet towels/sponges to prevent fire eruption. RACE means remove/rescue anyone from fire or smoke danger to a safe area, alert/sound the alarm, contain the fire, extinguish or evacuate as appropriate. PASS refers to the operation of the fire extinguisher. Pull the pin at the top, aim the nozzle toward the base of the fire, squeeze the handle to discharge the extinguisher while standing approximately 8 feet away from the fire, and sweep the nozzle in a back-and-forth motion at the base of the fire until it is extinguished.
