“…[16][17][18][24][25][26] Perioperatively, the use of vancomycin powder, presence of consistent unidirectional laminar airflow, and room temperature monitoring are important considerations, as they have been shown to influence infection rate in previous studies. 19,27 Temperature monitoring was not recorded in the present study, and laminar airflow was not found to significantly affect infection rates on bivariate analysis (P ¼ .528). However, the use of vancomycin powder was found to significantly reduce SSIs in both bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.…”

“…The impact of unidirectional laminar airflow, the number of individuals participating in the procedure, and the climate maintained in the OR have become important considerations to reduce airborne organisms and infection risk. 19,20 To the authors' knowledge, however, there have been no peer-reviewed articles investigating the impact of the OR's size on surgical site infection. While there have been studies that demonstrated a direct correlation between the size of patient rooms and rates of infection, no study until now has examined this concept in the operative setting.…”

“…It is however possible to safely use forced air warming systems, carefully isolated from the general operating room air flow by sheets, taped to the patient. Most studies show that this type of warming system does not significantly disrupt the airflow in a laminar flow operating theatre 25,26 , whereas mechanical obstructions have a major effect 27 . The FDA has recently concluded that maintaining normothermia and that warming devices, including forced airwarming blankets should be used 28 .…”

“… 8 By far, the most commonly used intraoperative system is forced air, presumably because forced-air warming is effective, inexpensive, and remarkably safe. 9 , 10 Resistive heating systems are a comparably effective alternative. 11 , 12 Systems based on circulating water have the advantage of cooling as well as heating, and can thus be used for the treatment of fever in critical care unit.…”
