[Initial experience in accident surgery performed in an operation theater equipped with ASID sterile filter partition screen (author's transl)].
The article reports on initial experience in accident surgery performed in an operation theater equipped with an ASID sterile filter partition screen. This filter screen is representative of, and corresponds to, the room-within-room solution with laminar airflow in horizontal direction. The advantages of this sterile filter partition in the performance of the broad spectrum of accident surgery operations are explained. During the first twelve months since we started using this screen, no postoperative infection was observed, whereas the infection rate in primarily aseptic surgery performed in the conventional operation theaters of the type normally used to date, amounted to 0.36% during the same period.
