[Peculiarities in the sterile operating cabin (author's transl)]. 1975

P Engelhardt

With helium filled bubbles from a bubble generator we could demonstrate dangerous turbulences around the operating area in the sterile operating cabin (Greenhouse). The bubbles follow a pattern corresponding to the direction of the turbulent air-stream. Special reference is made to the effect of objects and the surgeon within the area of down flow laminar airflow.
