Abstract:
We experienced malfunction of air conditioning system in the operating area. Rust inside the circulating pipe to the operating area was an obstacle to inflow of cold and hot water. Installing an additional air conditioning system and treatment with chemicals to remove the dust made it possible to adjust room temperature appropriately. Anesthesiologists should be interested and understand equipments used in the operation area such as air conditioning system.
