[7] [8] [9] Laminar airflow ventilation is more frequently used in operating rooms in Europe and is considered best practice for operating rooms to prevent surgical site infections. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States does not find the use of laminar airflow in operating rooms beneficial.
Mechanical ventilation helps move air into and out of the lungs, with the main goal of helping the delivery of oxygen and removal of carbon dioxide. Mechanical ventilation is used for many reasons, including to protect the airway due to mechanical or neurologic cause, to ensure adequate oxygenation, or to remove excess carbon dioxide from the ...
The Uniform Mechanical Code (UMC) is a model code developed by the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials to govern the installation, inspection and maintenance of HVAC (heating, ventilating and air-conditioning) and refrigeration systems.

Mandatory minute ventilation (MMV) (also called minimum minute ventilation) is a mode of mechanical ventilation which requires the operator to determine what the appropriate minute ventilation for the patient should be and the ventilator then monitors the patient's ability to generate this volume. If the calculation suggests the volume target ...
