摘要: Summary Background Many hospitals use ultraclean ventilation (UVC), also known as laminar airflow systems (LAF), in their operating rooms to decrease rates of surgical site infections (SSIs). However, the evidence for these is limited and additional expenses LAF are substantial. Aim To determine effectiveness SSI following hip knee prosthesis. Methods Systematic review cohort studies investigating influence on SSIs prosthesis published during last 10 years. Findings Four using endpoint severe four were included. No individual study showed a significant benefit but one small significantly higher three under conditions. The summary odds ratio was 1.36 (95% confidence interval: 1.06–1.74) 1.71 (1.21–2.41) Conclusions It would be waste resources establish new with LAF, questionable whether existing should replaced by conventional systems.
