Real-time biofluorescent particle counting compared to conventional air sampling for monitoring airborne contamination in orthopedic implant surgery
While BFPCs offer real-time monitoring of airborne contamination, their predictive ability for CFU levels remains uncertain. Yet, the strong correlation between particles in the surgical site and particles measured 1 meter away suggests feasibility to conduct future studies with larger cohorts.
