Background: Traffic in the operating room (OR) create turbulence and contaminates air by bacterial shedding. Therefore, we examined: (1) if the number and duration of door openings were associated with increased particles during arthroplasty surgery; (2) if traffic cameras installed in the operating room were an effective intervention to decrease traffic and particles during arthroplasty surgery; and (3) the effectiveness of traffic camera over time.
