Generally there are no recommendations to carry out air sampling to cover this scenario mentioned here.

Hi Cate,
We would do a terminal clean after the work is completed but not air sample, as long as there was no involvement with the air conditioning and air changes are adequate.
Kind regards

Hi everyone,
During maintenance if OT light, a holding spring broke with light hitting ceiling and damaging the ceiling yesterday. A Zip wall was put up immediately to prevent further dust contamination from ceiling and equipment was cleaned covered and/or removed. The hole has been repaired and painted.
Are you able to give advice on whether air testing is required prior to recommissioning the Operating Theatre after an incident like this? I note that there no nationally agreed standards on when to undertake microbiological air sampling in the operating theatre, or on the interpretation of sampling results. There is however reasonable evidence for air sampling when commissioning a new operating theatre.
Can you let me know your thoughts.
thanks

MRO, not an airborne ,therefore no need to have your OR to be at rest ,just follow your institutional policy of infection control and prevention policy of cleaning and disinfection once you have a case of MRO .
