One of the issues to be resolved shortly in the post-pandemic will be the sanitation of operating rooms. Such environments need to be sterile and the presence of a virus that resists for a long time in the air could lead to a substantial slowing down of the surgical activity. Which is currently the best solution? Ozone? Ozone plus UVC? Are there any precise data in this sense?
There are many ideas, but little scientific evidence (especially during operations)
Yes. There is no clear evidence. Will take more time to develop the protocols.
First, scientists and medical practitioners are currently trying to understand the virus and its ability to be retained on surfaces. They are also evaluating the period within which it can be retained on surfaces. As such, the ozone & UVC sterilisation methods must continue being used as we await for evidence-based research and conclusions.
Joan Nyika I agree with you... A challenge is represented by the sanitization of the air during operations: UVC and OZONE should not be used in operating rooms with people inside them
