    Objective: To systematically analyze the evidence on the effectiveness of laminar airflow ventilation in reducing infections in patients undergoing surgery. Material and methods: The systematic review of the 10 scientific articles evidenced on the effectiveness of laminar air flow ventilation to reduce infections in patients undergoing surgery, were obtained from the following databases Epistemonikos, Pubmed, Scielo, Medline, Ebsco, Dialnet, ProQuest and Google scholar. They were analyzed according to the Grade scale to determine the strength and quality of the evidence. Of the 10 articles, 60% (6/10) correspond to the methodological design of a systematic review, 30% (3/10) are a cohort study and 10% (1/10) are quasi-experimental studies. RESULTS: Of the 10 articles reviewed, 40% (4/10) demonstrate that laminar airflow ventilation is effective in reducing infections in patients undergoing surgery, since they improve the reduction of infections in patients undergoing surgery. surgery, 60% (6/10) showed that there is no decrease in infections in patients undergoing surgery. CONCLUSIONS: The present systematic review concludes that 6 of 10 evidence demonstrate that laminar airflow ventilation is not effective in reducing infection in patients undergoing surgery; and 4 out of 10 evidence indicates that it is efficient.
