  • Abstract
    The criteria used in the selection of a laminar airflow unit are presented. The unit acquired and installed is described. The air-velocity profiles are shown for the empty and occupied operating room, and the method for their determination is described. The study of the velocity profiles indicated the unit operated to the manufacturer´s description and met the needs for a particular operating room.
