The possible effect of different types of ventilation on reducing operation theatre infections: a meta-analysis

CONCLUSIONS: Based on this meta-analysis, operating under laminar airflow or conventional ventilation may have no independent relationship with the risk of surgical site infection. This relationship forces us not to recommend the use of laminar airflow ventilation since it has a much higher cost compared with conventional ventilation.PMID:33645280 | DOI:10.1308/rcsann.2020.7021
