6.3.6. Standard Ventilator for Conventional Operating Theatres
1. The air flow and microbiological air quality should be assessed on commissioning, after renovationrepair or outbreak of an infectious disease in the theatre or elsewhere within the theatre suite. 2. For non-emergency repairs, the Infection Control Team must be notified by the manager in charge of the theatre, at least a week in advance, so that microbiological air sampling and tests for positive pressure ventilation can be performed if deemed necessary by the team. 3. The minimum standard for microbiological air counts for conventional operating rooms is 35 CFU colony-forming unitm³ when the theatre is empty. There should be less than 35 CFU colony-forming unitm³ of Aspergillus’s spp when empty. 4. Airflow from ceiling to floor and directed under positive pressure; higher in operating room than in the corridor. 5. The air within the operating room should be at a positive pressure compared with other theatre suites and with the external corridors, and there should be at a range of 15 -25 ACH air changes per hour. 6. Ideal set-up for the air exchanges is at minimum of 15 times per hour at least 3 exchange of fresh air. 7. The theatre ventilator must be checked regularly, and maintained by an appropriately qualified engineer. Written records of all work on the ventilation system must be kept by the Engineering Department. 8. Coarse and fine air filters must be replaced regularly according to the manufacturer’s instruction or when the pressure differential across the filter indicates that a change is required. 9. There must be adequate control of temperature and humidity within the theatre to prevent infection and also to provide a comfortable working environment. 10. Additional ventilation units must be not be introduced into the theatre without consultation with the Infection Control Team. 11. Frequency of monitoring temperature, ACH and humidity according to the HSIP of the hospital.6.3.7. Ultra clean air or laminar air flow systems.
1. Laminar airflow is designed to move free air particle over the aseptic operating field in one direction. It can be designed to flow vertically or horizontally and is usually combined with a high efficiency particulate air HEPA filters. HEPA filters remove particles 0.3 micron in diameter with an efficiency of 99.97. 2. Ultraclean air can reduce the incidence of infection especially for implant operations. The air from ultra clean air or laminar flow systems used for high-risk surgery must be tested microbiologically every 3 months. Preferably, room should be equipped with laminar air flow system with a unidirectional ventilation system in which filtered, bacterial free air is circulated over the patient and return to receiving air inlet HEPA filter.Parts
