A Comparison between Measured Values of Airborne Viable Particles and Theoretical Calculated Values with the Dilution Principle in Operating Rooms Equipped with Low Velocities Unidirectional Airflow Systems

Paper i proceeding, 2018

Many of the recently installed unidirectional air flow systems for operating rooms have low
velocities (≤ 0.3m/s). Measurements of airborne aerobic colony-forming units were performed in such operating rooms during on-going surgery. Results show that, during ongoing surgery, calculations with the dilution principle is valid in the surgical zone.
