Ensuring Patient Safety Through Isolation Infection Rooms
The spread of the COVID-19 disease has shown the critical role that HVAC systems have in hospitals. Since the disease can easily be transmitted through droplets generated by sneezing or coughing, it becomes even more important to ensure that any air from a patient’s room is contained, diluted, exhausted, and then vented outdoors.
There are several aspects to ensure that these airborne contaminants are properly dealt with, such as room pressure, temperature, humidity, and air change rates. Go through this checklist to ensure that your airborne isolation infection rooms are fully prepared for patients.
