However, recommendations of existing reviews or meta-analyses examining the use of LAF systems in reduction of surgical site infection (SSI) are usually based on inhomogeneous studies with different types and sizes of LAF systems [13, 14, 17, 18] , where there may also be a lack of standardization of possible cofounders (antibiotic prophylaxis, patient related risk factors). The aim of the present study is therefore to evaluate the quantitative and qualitative particle load in the operating room depending on the measurement location (inside LAF area, margin of LAF area and outside LAF panel), the time of surgery and the use of a LAF system. ./cache/cord-327507-ic3tdx59.txt ./txt/cord-327507-ic3tdx59.txt
