Abstract

As the core operational venue in the healthcare system, the precise control of environmental parameters in operating rooms is crucial for ensuring surgical safety and reducing healthcare-associated infection risks. The rational airflow organization serves as the key mechanism for achieving refined environmental regulation in operating rooms. With continuously rising demands for surgical environments driven by advancements in medical technology, traditional airflow management methods have increasingly revealed limitations such as uneven temperature distribution and low pollutant removal efficiency, necessitating the introduction of novel technological solutions for optimization. The vortex-breaking jet device, leveraging its technical advantages in fluid vortex control, offers innovative approaches for optimizing operating room airflow. This study investigates the application of vortex-breaking jet devices in operating room airflow management, aiming to elucidate their mechanisms of influence on the surgical environment and provide a theoretical foundation for the design and optimization of operating room airflow systems.
