Coronavirus mutations can cause epidemics from time to time and may become the norm, prompting the thoughts on negative pressure operating rooms in China. Considers that the positioning of conventional operating rooms, special infection operating rooms and infectious disease operating rooms should be clarified, as well as the corresponding control objectives and technical measures. We should break through the traditional design ideas, put forward the goal of “focusing on normal operation, applying to the epidemic”, really do a good job in the emergency plan and management of the operating room during the epidemic period, and standardize the infectious disease operating room as our research subject. Through compliance use, organic combination and reasonable conversion, achieves “combination of normality and epidemic situation” with reasonable cost and optimal energy efficiency.
