Comparison of Operating Room Ventilation Systems in the Protection of the Surgical Site
This paper uses airflow modeling and particle-tracking methodologies to compare the risk of contaminant deposition on an operating room (OR) surgical site and back table for different ventilation systems. The ventilation system designs considered incorporated commonly used diffuser types, in particular, conventional, laminar, nonaspirating, and displacement diffuser types. Further, a range of d...
متن کاملSurgical attire and the operating room: role in infection prevention.
➤ Although there is some evidence that scrubs, masks, and head coverings reduce bacterial counts in the operating room, there is no evidence that these measures reduce the prevalence of surgical site infection.➤ The use of gloves and impervious surgical gowns in the operating room reduces the prevalence of surgical site infection.➤ Operating-room ventilation plays an unclear role in the prevent...
متن کاملOperating room environment and surgical site infections in arthroplasty procedures
BACKGROUND The rate of surgical site infections (SSI) is strongly influenced by operating room quality, which is determined by the structural features of the facility and its systems and by the management and behavior of healthcare workers. The aim of the present study was to assess microbial contamination in the operating room during hip- and knee-replacement procedures, the behavior of operat...
متن کاملPressure-support Ventilation in the Operating Room
To the Editor:—I read with interest the study by Jaber et al. and the accompanying editorial by Tantawy and Ehrenwerth regarding pressure-support ventilation (PSV). The Jaber study is noteworthy for documenting that the performance of PSV using modern anesthesia ventilators approaches the performance of an intensive care unit ventilator. The editorial correctly indicates that the testing was no...
