Maintaining air quality in operating rooms is import to prevent surgical site infections. Surgical smoke is a risk factor for infections that can be caused by bacteria or viruses. In this study, in situ measurements were conducted to understand the characteristics of airborne particles based on particle size, viable bacteria, and microbiome generated during an endoscopic surgery and a thoracotomy performed in the same operating room on a single day.During thoracotomy, a sharp rise was observed in the concentration of airborne particles (≥0.3 μm, ≥0.5 μm, and ≥1.0 μm in diameter) at the beginning of the use of electrosurgical tools. Furthermore, the concentration of airborne particles was higher during thoracotomy than during endoscopic surgery. Additionally, the mean values of airborne particles during both endoscopic surgery and thoracotomy significantly exceeded the ISO 14644-1 standard. The level of exposure to airborne particles during thoracotomy was found to be 4–27 times higher than that during endoscopic surgery.During endoscopic surgery, the concentration of bacteria near the operating table and at the air inlet was 56 CFU/m3and undetected, respectively. In comparison, during thoracotomy, the concentration of airborne near the operating table and at the air inlet was 533 CFU/m3and 11 CFU/m3, respectively, indicating that more bacteria were generated during thoracotomy than during endoscopic surgery. Based on 16S rRNA analysis, the top four genera of each sample, that is,Streptococcus,Acinetobacter,Neisseria, andStaphylococcus,were bacteria of human origin.
