- Title
Improving Operating Room Contamination Control.
- Authors
WAGNER, JENNIFER A.; SCHREIRER, KEVIN J.; COHEN, RALPH
- Abstract
The article discusses the differences in air delivery between semi-conductor manufacturing cleanroom and operating room (OR) designs, and explores how using the single-large diffuser (SLD) configuration can significantly reduce the incidence of airborne contaminants reaching the patient in an OR. It describes the basic design concepts evaluated for ceiling-mounted air delivery in an OR, such as air curtain (AC), multi-diffuser array (MDA) and SLD.
