Air filter study in cameroon operating room shows promise
NCT ID NCT07034573
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a special air filtration system in an operating room at a hospital in Cameroon. The goal was to see if the system keeps the air clean and reduces germs that can cause infections after surgery. No patients were involved—only the air and equipment were tested. The system had been used for years without problems, and researchers checked its performance after maintenance.
