Health care; creating the Right to Try for Individualized Treatments Act; authorizing individualized investigational treatments for eligible patients. Effective date.
SB 933 requires Oklahoma hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers to adopt policies using surgical smoke evacuation systems during procedures likely to generate surgical smoke. These systems must capture smoke at the source before it reaches staff or patients' eyes or lungs. The bill defines "surgical smoke" as gaseous by-products like plume or bio-aerosols produced during energy-based surgical procedures. The policy must be implemented by November 1, 2025, to prevent exposure to this airborne hazard.
