The continuing attempts to reduce bacterial contamination through clean air systems have been of special interest to surgeons dealing in joint replacement surgery. Although the definitive relationship between airborne contamination and surgical infections is not universally agreed on, there is little question that clean air systems reduce bacterial contamination of the surgical wound at the time of operation. This report reviews the history of surgical infections, presents statistical data that show the reduction of bacterial contamination by a clear air system, and suggests a pragmatic attitude regarding airborne bacterial contamination of surgical wounds.
通过洁净空气系统持续减少细菌污染的尝试，一直是从事关节置换手术的外科医生特别感兴趣的。尽管空气传播污染与手术感染之间的确切关系并未得到普遍认同，但毫无疑问的是，洁净空气系统在手术时可减少手术伤口的细菌污染。本报告回顾了手术感染的历史，呈现了显示洁净空气系统减少细菌污染的统计数据，并就手术伤口的空气传播细菌污染提出了务实的态度。
