Ventilation systems are the primary way of eliminating airborne pathogenic particles in an
operating room (OR). However, such systems can be complex due to factors such as …

Abstract In Operating Rooms (OR), the transport of Colony-Forming Units (CFU) can
generate surgical site infections in patients and, as a consequence, CFU must be properly …

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 …

Experimental and numerical investigations were performed in a research operating room to
compare laminar air flow and turbulent mixing ventilation systems in reducing the …

During surgery, the release of bacterial-carrying particles (BCPs) by surgeons is one of the
major pollution sources in operating rooms (ORs), which may cause surgical site infection …

Due to the requirements of indoor environment parameters, including temperature, humidity,
air speed and indoor quality, the design of the surgical environment is a very complex task …

Operating rooms (ORs) often have door openings connected to uncontrolled areas that are
more contaminated. Opening the door may allow an inflow of contaminated air, degrade the …

The interaction between ambient airflow and human thermal plume may affect airflow
distribution in human micro-environment and then personal exposure. This study aims to …

Operating room (OR) is an indispensable department in a hospital, while its ventilation
system is an important engineering solution to ensure safety for surgical procedures …

The indoor environments of severely polluted toilets are associated with an increased risk of
