Conditions for air cleanliness in a unidirectional airflow ventilation during orthopaedic joint replacement procedures
Air cleanliness in UDAF ventilation was better in the demarcation zone compared to the outer zone, and the number of persons in the outer zone was associated with decreased air cleanliness. Intraoperative movements could cause higher cfu counts in the demarcation zone, but further studies are needed to evaluate the consequences of staff movements.
