A problem with the operating room's ventilation system Wednesday caused Phoenix VA Health Care System to cancel surgeries, according to a KPHO/KTVK report.
Engineers are taking two to three days to evaluate the OR's mechanical system, and scheduled surgeries are postponed until Feb 22.
"This period of time will allow us to conduct a full analysis of the operating room mechanical systems functioning as well as complete a certificate of the existing system through an external source," a VA spokesperson told KPHO/KTVK.
