Study Summary
The objective of this study is to determine whether the Air Barrier System device reduces airborne particulate and airborne colony forming units present at a surgery site.
Primary Outcome
Colony forming unit counts were collected from the air within 5 cm of the surgical wound using a bioaerosol "slit" sampling device. Air was drawn through a sterile PVC tubing located at the incision and impacted upon media (TSA 5% sheep's blood) plates located in the sampling device. The plates were exchanged every 10 minutes throughout the procedure. Values are presented as CFU/cubic meter.
