Abstract EN
This research demonstrates the current use of air purification methods in the operating rooms (ORs) in China.
154 hospitals from 6 provinces were included in this survey to reflect the air purification methods of ORs in 2017.
Air cleaning technology (ACT) is used in 124 (80.52%) hospitals.
We find that the rates of using grade I, III, or IV clean operating room (COR) in tertiary hospitals are all higher than in lower level hospitals; the rate of using ACT in the ORs is higher, too.
In addition, general hospitals have higher rate in using ACT in the ORs than specialized hospitals.
The highest rate of using ACT in the ORs is in the eastern region of China.
The number of hospitals using ACT, ultraviolet light disinfection, and air sterilizers (such as circulating air UV sterilizer) increased yearly.
All grades of CORs can be maintained as required by more than 90% hospitals except grade II COR.
In this research, we found air purification methods, especially the ACT, are widely used in hospitals’ ORs.
However, finding the way to select and use different air purification methods correctly is an urgent problem to be solved next.
