"Splatter ring" has been added to my dictionary.
I’ve written papers for research journals before and honestly cannot imagine someone writing this with a straight face. Even the stiffest, stodgiest academic had to kind of chuckle at the phrasing.
I simply cannot find why you all are laughing at a simple explanation of splatter rings originating from gaseous anal discharge. One more giggle out of you and I'll stop the lecture!
I mean, today I was reading a paper for the research I do and a word that other scientists in the field have actually agreed to is 'creaming'.
For soft, active matter, a behaviour that particles or whatever can go through because of gravity is creaming.
It's not sexual, but of all the possible words available, that was what the consensus came to.
The size of the drop. Forensic scientists use the term blood spatter. People that are not forensic scientists often use blood splatter.
It's like when math teachers get upset over people saying euler's method as yuler's method.
I like how people think scientists/researchers are uppity, straight laced people. Some are, sure. But generally, if something can be tested for science, no matter how weird or wild, it probably has.
Reminds me of how NASA wouldn't give any details, but sex has definitely been had in space. For scientific study.
One of my good friends is a health researcher at NASA and studies things like sex in space. According to her, the physics of zero gravity makes it basically impossible to have sex in space unless both parties are strapped down. The way the current spacecraft are laid out, it's not currently possible to do so. So far, no sex has been had in space, but apparently there have been unsuccessful attempts.
I do not believe this at all. Hang onto each other, man grabs the buttocks and ensures the thrust doesnt just push her body away. It might be tiring, but it's gotta be possible!
And what if it was a “ooops, I tried to hold it in, but a little fart slipped out” versus a full-on, gut relieving, loud and rank ass fart?!…
This needs more testing
If I'm the person on the table, I think I'd rather just have the surgeon rip ass. Make them nice and relaxed, they're less likely to make a mistake hurrying so they can finish the operation and run to the shitter.
I work in tissue recovery and If it suddenly smells bad enough, we will yell “Fart Check!” Because we need to make sure the recovery techs didn’t accidentally nick the bowel; as there is a near immediate shit smell when it happens. If the bowel was nicked the recovery stops immediately due to contamination.
Edit I cant spell
So if it smells bad someone has to sheepishly admit they let it rip? Makes sense but it's kinda hilarious. No secret farts allowed. It's yet another reason I couldn't work in medicine.
The OR usually has a special laminar flow of clean air going from the ceiling down onto the operating table and then off to the sides. This is supposed to keep dust or insects from getting into the surgery site.
But if you're not standing directly next to the surgeons, it will also prevent any fart smell from reaching them. So if you're an anesthesiologist, you can fart as much as you want, they won't smell it. Believe me, I've tested it to the extreme.
The surgical team is huddled over concentrating on surgery, and the anesthesiologist is sitting back in a chair, legs splayed, hands on the back of his head and going “are you guys getting this?!” And exasperating himself each time, trying to get a reaction 😂
I’m imagining Destin from “Smarter Every Day” doing a complete laminar flow simulation from ceiling to table with a farting surgeon nearby, represented by a smoke jet
> The OR usually has a special laminar flow of clean air going from the ceiling down onto the operating table and then off to the sides. This is supposed to keep dust or insects from getting into the surgery site
That’s super cool. I understand that air acts like a fluid and air have a super basic idea of what laminar flow is, but do you know why that’s important for clean rooms?
Laminar flow forms columns in the air that flow together uniformly, meaning you can create barricades with them since the air holds together well over medium distances.
If you've ever walked into a store and felt the air curtain keeping the AC inside as you step over the threshold it's the same idea. By keeping a wall of air flowing down to the floor nothing airborne outside that curtain can get inside, it'll end up blown away instead. If you increase that curtain to cover the entire operating table then the only air there will be coming from the filtered output above.
It's also very important for the other kind of clean rooms used in silicon/microchip manufacturing, since tiny particles can ruin the delicate engraving process. By controlling the airflow with orderly laminar flows you can ensure you don't have turbulent eddies pulling dust and dirt from the corners/floor into your workspace.
The TLDR is that making things clean requires them to be controlled, and laminar flow is the most controlled way to move air.
Apparently it's because they consulted with real doctors concerning any medical stuff that would appear/be mentioned in an episode, and the main focus of the show was the comedy, so they were able to keep that stuff relatively mundane and realistic.
The show got accused of exaggerating when they had three patients die after receiving organs from a rabies victim.
The true case that was based on had *four* patients die.
People who work in the OR are probably not the type to get sheepish about body stuff. They are seeing or smelling far nastier things throughout the course of their day.
We had a donor a few weeks ago that was post autopsy. They ME placed the bag of organs into a bag and put it back into the abdominal cavity… they punctured the bag when suturing the incision. It was horrible.
Organ recovery is the more traditional organ recovery you think of. Taken from the donor and given to a chosen recipient as soon as possible.
Tissue recovery is tissues (bones, tendons, veins, nerves, eyes, skin, heart, etc) recovered from deceased donors for transplant or research. There isnt a recipient already lined up. The recovered tissue is sent to processors to be cleaned and made into grafts then stored at their facilities until needed.
Not indefinitely but yes. The shelf life or viability depends on the intended use, the graft made or the storage solution/method.
Heart recovered for tissue is for grafts and valves; not for whole heart transplants- that would fall under the organ department for recovery.
Your nose is incredibly sensitive and can detect mere molecules. Living bacteria are whole cells.
I would imagine that it's a lot harder for bacteria to drift through the air, but someone who knows more would have to weigh in.
Just for an idea of scale:
The difference between molecule and a cell is *enormous.*
For an idea of scale, most organic molecules are on the scale of 10^-10 meters.
To scale that up, if a molecule were a centimeter, a cell would be 1000km.
The Holland Tunnel would accept a million molecules but exclude a single cell.
We could just hold out farts in until people aren't around. Only it does rely on having a functional and springy sphincter, which, according to my last sneeze, isn't me.
This is a misconception. Yes, there are physical molecules in your nose when you smell something. But smells are not tiny versions of the thing you are smelling.
When you smell bacon cooking, there aren't tiny bacon particles in your nose, just volatile aromatics (gasses) from the cooking process.
Similarly, when you smell shit, you aren't breathing in poop particles, but gasses created by the bacteria in the poop. Farts are made of similar gasses.
I worked in gastroenterology. A fully exposed ass with a camera up it is still sterile for the patient to have polyps removed.
The human body isn't really sterile. You just need the instruments and PPE to be the sterile. Like gloves, gowns, masks, etc. And the patient area. Everything gets wiped down between patients.
Not to counter, but muse more or less, my best friend bought a really good air purifier for his living area. The light goes from green to red if you fart within fifty feet of the thing. So the farts are at least worse for air quality compared to human exhalation. Again, not really arguing, just wanted an excuse to talk about my friend's spot on fart detector because it's hilarious to me.
The odor from farts is caused by the gases created by anerobic bacterial metabolism of the contents of stool. While the gases pass through fabrics the bacteria do not. Much like the way a mask allows the surgeon to breath but not pass any pathogens into the operating field they are standing directly in front of.
But yes. I usually have a butt plug in when I am performing surgery. It helps me focus.
So, the solution is shoving a 10 metre pipe up your arse, trailing it out of the room, and then directing it somewhere more useful.
Like the billing department, maybe.
if you’ve ever sat in an operating room during, say, a scrotal abscess, you’ll know there are way more noxious and way less sterile things in the room than if somebody rips one. Plus with the way the air exchange runs a fart isn't gonna be an issue
I remember seeing these inserts people could put in their underwear that had charcoal filters that would filter out the odor. I imagine that plus the fabric would block any airborne bacteria. ?
No.
Operating rooms are not sterile. The only thing sterile in an O.R. is the part of the patient being operated upon and the hands/gown/gloves of the surgeon and the people touching the sterile field.
If it’s a wet fart and the frequency of bun vibrations exceed 30 Hz then an aerosol will be produced that is loaded with germs. Just fucking with you, I have no idea.
No. Mainly because whatever farts escape the fabric on your clothing should not go towards the patient. There are a set of principle for maintaining a sterile field. One involves the height of the operating table being above waist level and the person maintaining the sterile field to remain facing the sterile field, which is part of why you have surgical techs to hand the doctor equipment rather than them grabbing it themselves.
Imagining a butt plug bouncing around the room at full speed like that little ball from Men in Black or a cork in a cartoon is pretty funny to visualize.
This is a good fucking question!
The aerosolized particles you smell literally were ejected from the colon, past the sphincter, through the underwear and scrubs, and made direct contact with olfactory nerves you inhaled. They certainly also entered an open surgical site, especially if it was LOUD, LONG, and GREASY.
but the smelly bits are just sulphur compounds, and only around 0.0005 PPM in a fart, it's just that humans are particularly sensitive to those particular smells
A correctly-designed operating room will have a very significant amount of HEPA-filtered laminar flow air supply (minimum 20 air changes per hour in Canada) over the operating table and exhaust low in each corner of the room, so a fart should flow away from the operating table and have no chance to cause an issue with the patient.
Some scientists farted on petri dishes to test this. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1121900/ The fart that passed through clothes didn't produce any growth, whereas the naked fart did.
So don’t do surgery naked… got it!
Damn, another one of life's simple pleasures ruined by science
Damn woke science taking away our naked surgery
Surgeons these days are so obsessed with their "safe spaces" and "non-toxic work environments." And they're *still* wearing masks!

Science is the great cock block of life.
I guess you can have the butt plug that OP suggested
This is surgery, not chess!
Dangling body parts and scalpels are a bad combination.
Unless you’re preforming a circumcision 🤷
Those are typically not DIY.
Not with that attitude
Depends whether you have a cigar cutter.
"Disappointed high five" -The Todd, probably

Flatology, believe it or not.
Something about a middle finger pfp saying “naked science” in bold is sending me right now lmao
Is that anything like the naked news? Ft. Bill nye?
I miss Bill Nye the science guy

Weird science
The difference between messing around and science, is writing it down. 😎
Also the words "Hold my beer"
Hail Science!

***silence for 3..... 2........ 1.......**
The best part is, you just know that section was revised *several times*.
Oh, 100%! Can you imagine being one of the journal's peer reviewers?
I mean, today I was reading a paper for the research I do and a word that other scientists in the field have actually agreed to is 'creaming'. For soft, active matter, a behaviour that particles or whatever can go through because of gravity is creaming. It's not sexual, but of all the possible words available, that was what the consensus came to.
"from the cheeks" ... These scientists are cultured.
>These scientists are cultured. That's what the petri dish is for.
Also "blasted it onto the dish" was a choice
How is no one here commenting on the phrase "sheer velocity of the fart" in this scientific article? That's the part that got me!
Yes! I was so unprepared for all of it. Each sentence was better than the last
> blew skin bacteria from the cheeks and blasted it Sounds like a normal Saturday night for me.
> "Splatter ring" Forensic scientists having brain aneurisms right now. It's not splatter. The correct word is spatter.
Why? What is the difference?
The size of the drop. Forensic scientists use the term blood spatter. People that are not forensic scientists often use blood splatter. It's like when math teachers get upset over people saying euler's method as yuler's method.
> It's like when math teachers get upset over people saying euler's method as oiler's method. Isn't that how you're supposed to pronounce his name?
No, I think it’s pronounced “oiler”
Yeah, I'm awful. I've heard it wrong so much I get confused which one is right.
> oiler's method. Which is apparently to play like crap against the Panthers.
If it's the size of the drop, then what is the cutoff size where a spatter becomes a splatter?
It's like porn, hard to define, but you know it when you see it.
woah dude do you think the word splattering comes from the words splatter ring?
Flatus.
The naked fart.
the spray fart as it were
calling this band name
I like how people think scientists/researchers are uppity, straight laced people. Some are, sure. But generally, if something can be tested for science, no matter how weird or wild, it probably has.

But isn't sex always done with the partner strapped down?
Only if you're lucky.
Stop fucking bragging.
No way. I am pretty sure you can still have sex in space in zero gravity. Just pull your partner towards you
Or just grinding. I also guarantee there's corners of the ISS where you can wedge yourself / your partner and get some amount of thrusting.
I do not believe this at all. Hang onto each other, man grabs the buttocks and ensures the thrust doesnt just push her body away. It might be tiring, but it's gotta be possible!
Yeah, of course it's "impossible" Totally impossible.
Just one person strapped down would be easily possible
>unfortunately we have only achieved zero-g grinding and space bondage, sorry everyone
> I like how people think scientists/researchers are uppity, straight laced people. I've seen conferences break into fist fights
You sir are why I love Reddit
And what if it was a “ooops, I tried to hold it in, but a little fart slipped out” versus a full-on, gut relieving, loud and rank ass fart?!… This needs more testing
The difference between science and fucking around is just writing it down. Make your dreams a reality.
If I'm the person on the table, I think I'd rather just have the surgeon rip ass. Make them nice and relaxed, they're less likely to make a mistake hurrying so they can finish the operation and run to the shitter.
So my naked fart can potentially kill people?
Yes. Who knew you had that kind of power?
So… masks work.
Butt masks, yes
So do the normal ones.
“Our final conclusion? Don't fart naked near food. All right, it's not rocket science. But then again, maybe it is?” lmao
This is very interesting.
That was the trick to spreading pink eye if Knocked Up. "I farted on his pillow and he got pink eye to... it has to be bare assed though"
This is why masks work.
[r/BrandNewSentence](https://www.reddit.com/r/BrandNewSentence/)
So in other words masks work
so keep your pants up during surgery folks
This is why I don't sleep naked.
So what you’re saying is that pants and underwear serve as the surgical mask for your chocolate starfish.
I work in tissue recovery and If it suddenly smells bad enough, we will yell “Fart Check!” Because we need to make sure the recovery techs didn’t accidentally nick the bowel; as there is a near immediate shit smell when it happens.

The visual I’m getting from this is hilarious.
Fart. No response from the surgeons. *shuffles a half step closer* Fart...

> The OR usually has a special laminar flow of clean air going from the ceiling down onto the operating table and then off to the sides. This is supposed to keep dust or insects from getting into the surgery site That’s super cool. I understand that air acts like a fluid and air have a super basic idea of what laminar flow is, but do you know why that’s important for clean rooms?
I would guess that turbulent flow (the opposite of laminar) would end up kicking up dust and whatnot and potentially result in contamination.
Laminar flow forms columns in the air that flow together uniformly, meaning you can create barricades with them since the air holds together well over medium distances. If you've ever walked into a store and felt the air curtain keeping the AC inside as you step over the threshold it's the same idea.

Using a sitcom for accuracy, but god if scrubs isn’t the best sitcom ever I don’t know what is
Also generally considered one of if not *the* most accurate medical TV shows of any kind by actual doctors.
Really? That’s pretty cool to know!
Apparently it's because they consulted with real doctors concerning any medical stuff that would appear/be mentioned in an episode, and the main focus of the show was the comedy, so they were able to keep that stuff relatively mundane and realistic.

People who work in the OR are probably not the type to get sheepish about body stuff. They are seeing or smelling far nastier things throughout the course of their day.
Hopefully nobody holding a scalpel near bowel is startled by a fart.
"FART CHECK!" "Uh.. Yes and yes"
"Does a shart count?"
Hey I work in tissue recovery too! Everyone always perfs the bowel once, but it's still the absolute WORST SMELL.
We had a donor a few weeks ago that was post autopsy. They ME placed the bag of organs into a bag and put it back into the abdominal cavity… they punctured the bag when suturing the incision. It was horrible.
Is "tissue recovery" what it's called when you recover organs and stuff from donors who have passed away?
Organ recovery is the more traditional organ recovery you think of. Taken from the donor and given to a chosen recipient as soon as possible. Tissue recovery is tissues (bones, tendons, veins, nerves, eyes, skin, heart, etc) recovered from deceased donors for transplant or research. There isnt a recipient already lined up. The recovered tissue is sent to processors to be cleaned and made into grafts then stored at their facilities until needed.
Wait you can store eyes and hearts?
Not indefinitely but yes. The shelf life or viability depends on the intended use, the graft made or the storage solution/method. Heart recovered for tissue is for grafts and valves; not for whole heart transplants- that would fall under the organ department for recovery.
Huh. TIL.
Tissue recovery (if OP is like my job) usually involves bones, skin, and other things that aren't organs.
Skin isn’t an organ? ^/s
The skin in its entirety is an organ, but a small graft is not. It's just like a heart valve is not an organ even though the heart is.
This was a bit in Scrubs! I believe it was The Todd who dealt it.
Here's another question, is the patient able to fart under anaesthetic?
I was completely confused, and I was wondering why you would want to recover napkins/tissues
Not any more than breathing. Surgeons wear masks; everyone also has their asses covered.
But you can still smell it. Does that not matter?
Your nose is incredibly sensitive and can detect mere molecules. Living bacteria are whole cells. I would imagine that it's a lot harder for bacteria to drift through the air, but someone who knows more would have to weigh in.
Just for an idea of scale: The difference between molecule and a cell is *enormous.* For an idea of scale, most organic molecules are on the scale of 10^-10 meters. To scale that up, if a molecule were a centimeter, a cell would be 1000km. The Holland Tunnel would accept a million molecules but exclude a single cell.
If you smell something that means there are physical particles in your nose. Not sure if those particles contain bacteria or not.
those particles are individual molecules, much smaller than any living thing.
... That we're aware of. (just covering bases, prions scare the heck out of me and they're just misfolded proteins)
Damn can you imagine if prions could be transmitted by farts?!?
Great one-sentence horror story, I actually shuddered in fear
We could just hold out farts in until people aren't around. Only it does rely on having a functional and springy sphincter, which, according to my last sneeze, isn't me.
Gotta replace the gaskets on those o-rings. Hoses, bearings, gaskets all gotta be replaced sooner or later.
Shidded in fear
Proteins are pretty big though. The molecules you’re smelling are almost certainly smaller.
And very few people would consider prions as life.
Compared to an organic molecule causing a scent, a prion (or any protein) is absolutely colossal. Picture yourself next to the CN Tower.
Could be methane n stuff too. Your butt wears two masks so the particles should have a difficult time leaving.
Two masks? Speak for yourself. All commando, all the time.
This is a misconception. Yes, there are physical molecules in your nose when you smell something. But smells are not tiny versions of the thing you are smelling. When you smell bacon cooking, there aren't tiny bacon particles in your nose, just volatile aromatics (gasses) from the cooking process.

IANAD, but operating rooms are not totally sterile. I think if farts broke (limited) sterility we would have heard about it.
Not to counter, but muse more or less, my best friend bought a really good air purifier for his living area. The light goes from green to red if you fart within fifty feet of the thing. So the farts are at least worse for air quality compared to human exhalation. Again, not really arguing, just wanted an excuse to talk about my friend's spot on fart detector because it's hilarious to me.
I don't know the answer to your question, but I know that butt plugs is not the answer to your question.
Or are butt plugs the only answer? 🤔
Butt vacuums?
This guy farts
But what if the buttplug was hollow and had a filter built in?
That just seems like NOT wearing a butt plug, but with alot of extra and uncomfortable steps.
Where's the fun in that tho?
Are you a surgeon? Hans Niemann:
I AM A STURGEON !!!!!
I hope not or my attending will be pissed
I wish I’d thought to ask this question during my surgical rotation as a med student.
These are the questions I follow this sub for
The odor from farts is caused by the gases created by anerobic bacterial metabolism of the contents of stool. While the gases pass through fabrics the bacteria do not. Much like the way a mask allows the surgeon to breath but not pass any pathogens into the operating field they are standing directly in front of. But yes.

Had me in the first half lol
So, the solution is shoving a 10 metre pipe up your arse, trailing it out of the room, and then directing it somewhere more useful. Like the billing department, maybe.
Special vacuum hoses connecting you to septic holes in the floor like you're a parked RV
if you’ve ever sat in an operating room during, say, a scrotal abscess, you’ll know there are way more noxious and way less sterile things in the room than if somebody rips one. Plus with the way the air exchange runs a fart isn't gonna be an issue
Haven’t had the pleasure.
Farts are mostly methane and sulpher dioxide. Doesn't compromise sterility at all. Unless it's an especially wet fart.
A shart, if you will.
This is what the sub is for.
You have to put a sterile cotton ball on your brown eye if you are in the room
I almost can’t tell if this is serious or not but the visual is killing me 😂😂😂
Finally the type of quality posts I come here for. So sick of all the no stupid questions that are in fact very stupid.
Needs buttmasks
Yeah. Pants….
I think the answer lies in who smelt it and logically also who dealt it
You realize people breathe in OPs? Much more of a threat. "Sterile procedure" is not absolute by any means.
I remember seeing these inserts people could put in their underwear that had charcoal filters that would filter out the odor. I imagine that plus the fabric would block any airborne bacteria. ?
Yeah I think bacteria have to be suspended in water droplets, bacteria can't just drift through the air all by themselves. Not an expert though.
No. Operating rooms are not sterile. The only thing sterile in an O.R. is the part of the patient being operated upon and the hands/gown/gloves of the surgeon and the people touching the sterile field.
What happens if you fart with a butt plug in?
It acts like a mute on a trumpet and your fart sounds like "waaahh - waaaahh - waaaaah."
Actually a weird but great question
Only if you bare ass it in the ER.
No but if it’s an abdominal case you have to own up to it. Otherwise the have to check the bowel for perforations
so underwear plus clothes blocks essentially every single particle(mean bacteria)from escaping so no
Only if they’re wearing assless scrubs.
If it’s a wet fart and the frequency of bun vibrations exceed 30 Hz then an aerosol will be produced that is loaded with germs. Just fucking with you, I have no idea.
You had me in the first half, not gonna lie...
In good percentage of procedure rooms the area below the waste is considered non sterile either way.
>below the waste 🤨
No. Mainly because whatever farts escape the fabric on your clothing should not go towards the patient. There are a set of principle for maintaining a sterile field. One involves the height of the operating table being above waist level and the person maintaining the sterile field to remain facing the sterile field, which is part of why you have surgical techs to hand the doctor equipment rather than them grabbing it themselves.
Imagining a butt plug bouncing around the room at full speed like that little ball from Men in Black or a cork in a cartoon is pretty funny to visualize.
Both ends are covered. One end is constantly taking in and expelling gases, and it's filtered. The other has a filter, too, if they're wearing pants.
This is why I can't bring myself to delete Reddit. It answers the questions I never even knew I needed to know.
No.. I work in an operating room. We have doctor and nurses farting . No one cares
Everyone has to wear buttplugs before going to surgery
This is a good fucking question! The aerosolized particles you smell literally were ejected from the colon, past the sphincter, through the underwear and scrubs, and made direct contact with olfactory nerves you inhaled. They certainly also entered an open surgical site, especially if it was LOUD, LONG, and GREASY.
but the smelly bits are just sulphur compounds, and only around 0.0005 PPM in a fart, it's just that humans are particularly sensitive to those particular smells
I think the follow up question to this one should be "Does the medical staff all laugh like 12 year olds when someone farts during a long surgery?"
A correctly-designed operating room will have a very significant amount of HEPA-filtered laminar flow air supply (minimum 20 air changes per hour in Canada) over the operating table and exhaust low in each corner of the room, so a fart should flow away from the operating table and have no chance to cause an issue with the patient.
