The effect of using ceiling mounted systems for imaging in hybrid operating rooms on the level of colony forming units during surgery

ConclusionsA ceiling mounted imaging system in combination with a UDF system can result in a level of CFU/m3 near the surgical wound and at the instrument tables well below the threshold value of 10 CFU/m3 during surgery. If the instrument table is not positioned directly under the UDF system, the CFU/m3 is higher.
