Creating the optimal environment in the surgical suite with the necessary temperature, humidity and air quality is critical, according to an article on the FacilityCare website.
Balancing the patients' health and safety with the comfort and performance of the medical staff, can make it challenging for hospitals to meet the requirements for humidity and air quality in operating rooms.
Because the temperature and humidity standards for surgical suites differ greatly from those of other areas in the hospital, it’s important to have a solution that addresses the specific needs of operating rooms without increasing operating costs or decreasing efficiency for the rest of the facility, the article said.
New technologies are available that allow for economical handling of cooling in low temperature, low humidity environments without the need for additional chiller capacity.
