Key Points

This study aims to evaluate how changes in air quality affect surgical outcomes and energy consumption in operating rooms.
Examined 55 operating rooms
Monitored clinical outcomes and energy use before and after air quality changes
Conducted a quality improvement analysis
Improvements in clinical outcomes following air quality changes
Decreased energy use in operating rooms after implementation
Reduction in related costs associated with energy consumption

Implication

Quality improvement study examines air change impacts on energy and surgical results in operating rooms, suggesting operational benefits.

Abstract

This quality improvement study explores the clinical outcomes, energy use, and related costs before and after implementation of air quality changes in 55 operating rooms.
