Note: Orthopaedic surgery is normally performed in operating
rooms provided with ultra-clean systems. Such systems are much
more effective in terms of airflow when provided with partial
walls. These walls may be effectively used to include terminal
units that can be supplied by rigid pipework. Such installations
do not suffer from excessive pressure loss when surgical air is
required at high flows.
Operating room, neurosurgery
Anaesthetist 2 1 – 2 – 2 1 – 1 set per suite 1 set per suite

Note: If multi-purpose pendants are used, there may be some
loss of performance of surgical tools because of bore restrictions
and convolution of the flexible connecting assemblies at the
articulated joints.
