(TU Delft Medical Instruments & Bio-Inspired Technology; Reinier de Graaf Gasthuis) Luscuere, P (TU Delft Environmental & Climate Design) Date 2023 Abstract Ultra-clean ventilation systems are used in the operating room (OR) to reduce the quantity of airborne bacteria in the ultra-clean area, and reduce the incidence of surgical site infections (SSIs). When the number of colony-forming units (CFUs) in the ultra-clean (protected) area is too high, this is considered a risk factor for SSIs.
