2. Ventilation Performance in Operating Rooms : A Numerical Assessment
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

3. Design of Hospital Operating Room Ventilation using Computational Fluid Dynamics
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

5. Practical Safety Ventilation in Ultraclean Air Operating Rooms
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
