Airflow patterns through a sliding door during opening and foot traffic in operating rooms
Producción CientíficaIt is common practice for operating rooms (OR) to have more pressure than the adjacent enclosures. This is to prevent the entry of potentially contaminated air and the consequent risk of wound infection. However, when the OR door is opened the pressure difference between the two areas disappears and can cause containment failures. If a person enters or leaves the OR during door operation, additional perturbations are also generated in the airflow pattern in the doorway. In this paper, instantaneous airflows are measured during the passage of a person through a sliding door in a real OR with the HVAC system working under operating conditions. An ultrasonic anemometer that measures the magnitude and direction of the instantaneous air velocity in the doorway is used. Results show that, even though the OR has a sliding door and an initial overpressure of 20 Pa, together with what is, a priori, a good HVAC system control strategy, a small volume of air enters the OR during a cycle of door opening and closing even without the passage of a person. Furthermore, if a person walks through the door the volume of air entering the OR is higher, especially if the person enters the OR. © 2016 Elsevier LtdMinistry of Economy and Competiveness project DPI2014-55357-C2-1-R cofinanced by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)
Energy use optimization in ventilation of operating rooms during inactivity periods
Producción CientíficaHospitals are highly energy demanding buildings, where simple actuations can involve large savings. However, energy efficiency actions must comply with the high safety standards. Operating rooms demand continuous ventilation despite the short activity periods. Setback during non-occupation of the operating rooms can reduce ventilation loads but must not hinder indoor overpressure to avoid infiltrations. Besides, it prevents any existing heat recovery system from operation. This work evaluates setback ventilation in operating rooms at a case study in Spain, from two approaches: its effect on indoor overpressure and its preference to an existing coil heat recovery (runaround) loop. It bases on monitored data of two operating rooms under setback and normal ventilation with operation of the heat recovery system. Seven tests are performed throughout the year, whose comparison to estimated results enables extrapolation to yearly operation. Results show that indoor overpressure maintain at 15 Pa under setback, thus meeting current and coming standards. Setback turned to be always preferable to hear recovery under cooling needs. Estimated heating and electric yearly supply energy savings reach 29 MWht and 262 MWhe, the latter accounting for 2% of the total electric energy consumption of the hospital during 2019.Junta de Castilla y León (grant EREN_2019_L2_UVA

Tendencia de la tuberculosis en la Comunidad de Madrid en población autóctona y extranjera (2009-2018)
Background: Tuberculosis is a major public health
problem and most cases are concentrated in vulnerable populations.
The objective was to describe the incidence rates
trend in native and foreign population (2009-2018) in
Madrid Region.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of cases from the
Tuberculosis Regional Registry of cases of Madrid Region
2009-2018. Annual incidence rates were calculated by country
of birth (Spain, other), sex and age group (<15, 15-34,
35-44, 45-64,> 64), using the annual January 1st continuous
register population. The infection rate trend and the annual
percentage change (APC) were calculated, along with the
best jointpoint adjustment using Jointpoint regression.
Results: 7,696 cases were analyzed, 48.2% were foreign-
born individuals. Average age in native population was
50 years old (SD: 23.96) and 35 (DS: 36.64) in foreignborn
individuals (p<0.001). The overall incidence rate decreased
from 17.30 in 2009 to 9.00 per 100,000 in 2018 and
was higher in men. Pulmonary tuberculosis reduced from
11.90 to 6.55. Among native population, the incidence of
TB fell from 10.29 to 5.24 with an APC of -7.3% (95%IC:
-8.9; -5.7) (p<0.05), no jointpoint was identified. Among
foreign-born individuals the incidence of tuberculosis declined
from 46.54 to 25.49, a joint point was identified in
2013, observing an incidence decrease for the period 2009-
2013 and APC of -13.8% (IC95%: -17.5; -10.0).
Conclusions: The global incidence rate in this period
has decreased by approximately 7% per year. However, this
reduction occurred mainly in native population. In foreignborn
individuals the incidence decreased by approximately
14% during the 2009-2013 period, after this period there
have been no significant incidence changes.Fundamentos: La tuberculosis (TB) continúa siendo
un problema importante de salud pública, debido a que la
mayoría de los casos se concentran en población vulnerable.
El objetivo de este trabajo fue describir la tendencia de
las tasas de incidencia en población autóctona y extranjera
(2009-2018) en la Comunidad de Madrid (CM).
Métodos: Se realizó un análisis retrospectivo de casos
del Registro Regional de casos de Tuberculosis de la CM
en el período 2009-2018. Se calcularon tasas de incidencia
anual por cada 100.000 habitantes, por país de nacimiento
(España, fuera de España), sexo y grupo de edad (<15, 15-
34, 35-44, 45-64,>64), utilizando las poblaciones de padrón
continuo a 1 de enero de cada año. Se calculó la tendencia
de las tasas de incidencia y el porcentaje anual de cambio
(APC), así como el mejor ajuste del punto de inflexión utilizando
la regresión de Jointpoint.
Resultados: Se analizaron 7.696 casos, siendo el
48,2% en personas nacidas fuera de España. La edad media
en población autóctona fue de 50 años (DS: 23,96) y 35
(DS: 36,64) en inmigrante (p<0,001). La tasa de incidencia
global pasó de 17,30 por cada 100.000 habitantes en 2009
a 9 en 2018, siendo superior en hombres. La incidencia de
tuberculosis pulmonar pasó de 11,90 a 6,55. En población
autóctona, la incidencia de TB pasó de 10,29 a 5,24, con un
APC de -7,3% (IC95%: -8,9; -5,7; p<0,05), y no se identificó
ningún punto de inflexión. En población extranjera la incidencia
de tuberculosis pasó de 46,54 a 25,49, identificándose
un punto de inflexión en 2013, con una disminución
más acusada de la incidencia para el periodo 2009-2013 debido
a un APC de -13,8% (IC95%: -17,5; -10,0).
Conclusiones: La tasa de incidencia global en este periodo
disminuye cerca de un 7% anual; sin embargo, esta
disminución de la incidencia se produce fundamentalmente
en población autóctona. En población extranjera la incidencia
desciende cerca de un 14% durante el periodo 2009-
2013. Tras este periodo no hay cambios significativos en
la incidencia
