Controlling infectious airborne particle dispersion during surgical procedures: Why mobile air supply units matter?
The ventilation system in an operating room (OR) plays a vital role in reducing the risk of patients contracting an infection while undergoing a surgical procedure. The clean air supplied from the ceiling-mounted diffuser removes the airborne particles from the surgical site. The clean air, however,...
