Evaluation of High Flow Local Extraction on control of the aerosol plume in an operating theatre

2021-05-18

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Engineering controls are a necessity for minimising aerosol transmission of SARS-CoV-2, yet so far, little attention has been given to such interventions. High flow local extraction (HFLE) is a standard in other industries that deal with airborne contaminants. <h4>Objective</h4> This study aims to provide a quantitative evaluation of an HFLE concept feasible to implement in most real clinical s...
