title: Air flow disruption must be minimised.
abstract: Operating theatre lights are known to affect the air flow in ultra clean ventilation systems and it is important that specialist luminaires are designed to minimise the disruption of air flow. This paper explains the results of tests carried out during actual surgical interventions using reticulated operating theatre lights and examines the implications of new NHS recommendations on the future use of UCV ceilings.
