Abstract
Penetration of bacteria carrying particles from the corridors to the OR can be successfully restricted by using a positive-pressure system. However, the results clearly indicate that frequent door opening can interfere with airflow ventilation systems, alter the pressure gradient, and increase the infection risk for the patient undergoing surgical intervention. Door-opening disturbs the airflow field and could result in containment failure.
