Operating Theatre Airflow Design at Guy's Hospital
To strengthen the standard of care for patients and address the growing resource challenges faced by the NHS, Guy’s and St Thomas’s NHS Foundation entered a 15-year relationship with Johnson & Johnson. To improve efficiency and alleviate the pressure off the hospitals existing theatre department, MTX and Johnson & Johnson worked together to build a new hybrid orthopaedic operating theatre, utilising Modern Methods of construction. MTX approached Apreco to assist in the design of the new theatre’s airflow regime and selection of suitable air pressure stabilisers.
Operating theatres are some of a hospital’s most at-risk environments for causing infections. The ambient air of these spaces can become a vehicle for micro-organisms, which can lead to surgical site infections, a serious and sometimes fatal complication of surgery.
