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 cfu levels near the surgical wound and at the instrument table that are 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 level is higher.
