Systems and methods for managing air quality in a surgical environment

A system for managing air quality associated with an operating room, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a memory;
• and
• one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
• detecting an identity of a substance in the air in the operating room;
• detecting a quantity of the identified substance in the air in the operating room;
• determining a first surgical milestone associated with a surgical procedure in the operating room, wherein the surgical procedure further has a second surgical milestone occurring during the same surgical procedure at a different time than the first surgical milestone;
• identifying a first threshold associated with an acceptable amount of the identified substance in the air during the first surgical milestone of the surgical procedure in the operating room, wherein identifying the first threshold associated with the acceptable amount of the identified substance in the air during the first surgical milestone of the surgical procedure in the operating room comprises selecting the first threshold from a plurality of thresholds, wherein the first threshold is different from a second threshold that is associated with an acceptable amount of the identified substance in the air during the second surgical milestone;
• determining that the quantity of the identified substance exceeds the first threshold associated with the acceptable amount of the identified substance in the air during the first surgical milestone of the surgical procedure in the operating room;
• and
• in accordance with the determination that the quantity of the identified substance exceeds the first threshold associated with the acceptable amount of the identified substance in the air during the first surgical milestone, outputting a notification that the quantity of the identified substance exceeds the first threshold associated with the acceptable amount of the identified substance in the air during the first surgical milestone.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs for managing air quality associated with an operating room, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which, when executed by one or more processors of an electronic device, cause the electronic device to:

• detect an identity of a substance in the air in the operating room;
• detect a quantity of the identified substance in the air in the operating room;
• determine a first surgical milestone associated with a surgical procedure in the operating room, wherein the surgical procedure further has a second surgical milestone occurring during the same surgical procedure at a different time than the first surgical milestone;
• identify a first threshold associated with an acceptable amount of the identified substance in the air during the first surgical milestone of the surgical procedure in the operating room, wherein identifying the first threshold associated with the acceptable amount of the identified substance in the air during the first surgical milestone of the surgery in the operating room comprises selecting the first threshold from a plurality of thresholds, wherein the first threshold is different from a second threshold that is associated with an acceptable amount of the identified substance in the air during the second surgical milestone;
• determine that the quantity of the identified substance exceeds the first threshold associated with the acceptable amount of the identified substance in the air during the first surgical milestone of the surgical procedure in the operating room;
• and
• in accordance with the determination that the quantity of the identified substance exceeds the first threshold associated with the acceptable amount of the identified substance in the air during the first surgical milestone, output a notification that the quantity of the identified substance exceeds the first threshold associated with the acceptable amount of the substance in the air during the first surgical milestone.
