   Abstract : The history of surgery is nearly as old as the human race. Control of wound infection has always been an essential part of any surgical procedure, and is still an important challenge in hospital operating rooms today. For patients undergoing surgery there is always a risk that they will develop some kind of postoperative complication. READ MORE

4. 2. Ventilation Performance in Operating Rooms : A Numerical Assessment

   Author : Cong Wang; Sture Holmberg; Sasan Sadrizadeh; Anna Bogdan; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; operating room ventilation; bacteria-carrying particles; laminar airflow; mixing ventilation; temperature-controlled airflow; computation fluid dynamics; Lagrangian particle tracking; Civil and Architectural Engineering; Byggvetenskap; Strömnings- och klimatteori; Fluid and Climate Theory;

   Abstract : Surgical site infections (SSIs) remain one of the most challenging postoperative complicationsof healthcare and threaten the lives of millions of patients each year. Current evidence hasshown a positive relationship between the airborne concentration of bacteria-carryingparticles (BCPs) in the operating room (OR) and the rate of infections. READ MORE

5. 3. Practical Safety Ventilation in Ultraclean Air Operating Rooms

   Author : Pedro Gandra; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; airborne bacteria-carrying particles; microbial source strength; surgical clothing system; room air distribution system; Keywords: Ultraclean operating room;

   Abstract : PRACTICAL SAFETY VENTILATION IN   ULTRACLEAN AIR OPERATING ROOMS When planning new ultraclean air operating rooms, often the first question is which is the preferred room air distribution system and what system is the best to meet the requirements of microbiological air cleanliness. Today, in Sweden, the requirement is a target level of 5 CFU/m3during the design phase, in order to ensure that the level of ≤10 CFU/m3during infection prone surgery is maintained. READ MORE

   Abstract : Indoor air quality directly affects the comfort, performance, and well-being of occupants. Indoor pollution can cause immediate or long-term health effects and has been responsible for 4.1% of global deaths in recent decades. READ MORE

7. 5. Some Aspects on Contamination Control in Hospitals- Observations and Measurements

   Author : Catinka Ullmann; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Source strength; Tissue and cells establishments; Ultraclean air operating rooms; Microbial cleanliness; Autoclaves; Contamination control; Door openings; Airborne contamination risks;

   Abstract : Measurements of the cleanliness level have been performed in operating rooms classified as tissue and cells establishments for bone tissue to compare the results with the requirements given in the Tissue and Cells Directives of the European Union (EUTCD). The results show that the requirements are not always fulfilled. READ MORE
