Speaker Topic
ASHRAE Standard 170-2017 Ventilation of Healthcare Facilities
Due to the ever increasing demand for valuable ceiling space, modern operating room (OR) ceiling and
air distribution systems must continuously improve and adapt to meet the demands presented by ceiling
mounted medical equipment. Conventional hospital operating room design utilizes a unidirectional, non-aspirating ventilation system which creates a particulate free zone at, and directly adjacent to, the patient
table. This presentation will provide direction on how to maintain a particulate free zone around the
patient and surgical team within the constraints of the complex medical imagery equipment that is an
inherent feature of the modern OR. This presentation will breakdown ASHRAE 170-2017 Standard for
Ventilation of Health Care Facilities. The importance of positively pressured rooms, unidirectional
downward airflow, footprint of the air/table, light, and coordinating the various medical supplies within the
space.
