The ventilation system of an operating theatre in an hospital minimises the risk of airborne infection. In this paper, the integrated effect of medical lamp position and diffuser discharge velocity on ultra-clean ventilation performance in an operating theatre is reported. Their use appears to slightly affect the thermal comfort environment , but it can have a serious effect on the movement of infectious particles that can increase the cross infection rislk.
