Özet:

 Objective: This study aims to evaluate the knowledge and experiences of anesthesiologists in Turkey about the presence and hazards of DEHP and increase their awarenesses. Materials and Methods: The questionnaire study consisting of web based 20 survey questions about DEHP is sent to anesthesiologists in Turkey via electronic mail. Participants were asked questions about whether they heard the name of the DEHP, whether they knew the harmful effects that the DEHP could cause, and whether it was the effect of DEHP in the selection of the operating room and intensive care medical supplies. Results: We determined that 70 of anesthesiologists have never heard of the name or notion of DEHP. The study also demonstrates that 90-95 of them do not know whether the medical supplies that they use contain DEHP and they suffer from lack of knowledge about the purchase and selection of medical supplies. Conclusion: According to the data of this research, the majority of the anesthesiologists in Turkey have insufficient information about DEHP. In order to prevent this threat, there is a need for multidisciplinary working from industrial organizations to health institutions.
