Abstract in brief

  • Forced air warming (FAW) raises airflow around the operating table by creating upward and unidirectional ceiling flows, but downward laminar airflow can counteract this upward movement.
  • In the study, upward airflow from FAW was around 39 cm in the patient's head area, while downward laminar airflow was approximately 40 cm, effectively neutralizing the upward movement.
  • The findings suggest that when proper laminar airflow is maintained, it can minimize the risk of surgical site contamination caused by the airflow disturbances from FAW systems.
