The addition of a mobile ultra-clean exponential laminar airflow screen to conventional operating room ventilation reduces bacterial contamination to operating box levels.
A mobile screen producing ultra-clean exponential laminar airflow (LAF) was investigated as an addition to conventional turbulent/mixing operating room (OR) ventilation (16 air changes/h). The evaluation was performed in a small OR (50 m(3)) during 60 standardized operations for groin hernia including mesh implantation. The additional ventilation was used in 50 of the operations. The LAF passed...
متن کاملMobile zoned/exponential LAF screen: a new concept in ultra-clean air technology for additional operating room ventilation.
A mobile screen (0.5 x 0.4 m) producing ultra-clean exponential LAF (air-flow central zone 0.6 m/s and peripheral zone 0.4 m/s) was investigated as an addition to conventional turbulent/mixing operating room ventilation. The evaluation was performed during strictly standardized sham operations reflecting conditions during major surgery. The study consisted of a pilot experiment designed to give...

متن کاملIntra-vitreal injection of methotrexate in experimental endotoxin-induced uveitis in rabbit
Uveitis is a major cause of vision loss. Methotrexate (MTX) has been widely used in uveitis due to its relatively safe profile. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of two different dosages of MTX via intra-vitreal administration for treatment of endotoxin induced uveitis (EIU) in an experimental model. Thirty-five healthy rabbits were randomly divided into four groups and all ...
متن کاملForced-air patient warming blankets disrupt unidirectional airflow.
We have recently shown that waste heat from forced-air warming blankets can increase the temperature and concentration of airborne particles over the surgical site. The mechanism for the increased concentration of particles and their site of origin remained unclear. We therefore attempted to visualise the airflow in theatre over a simulated total knee replacement using neutral-buoyancy helium b...
