A cough or sneeze has the ability to propel disease as much as 200 feet and remain airborne long enough to reach ceiling ventilation units, risking the health of patients and staff. Implementing negative and positive pressure rooms can be an effective way to contain deadly pathogens and reduce infections.
Respiratory viruses such as COVID and the flu can travel throughout a building quickly, infecting large numbers of people. A cough or sneeze has the ability to propel disease as much as 200 feet and remain airborne long enough to reach ceiling ventilation units, risking the health of patients and staff.
Negative room pressure , a technique employed in hospitals and medical facilities, effectively prevents cross-contamination by generating negative pressure within isolation rooms. This technique allows air to enter the room but restricts its escape, as air naturally flows from higher to lower pressure. Negative pressure is utilized to isolate patients diagnosed with airborne contagious diseases, such as influenza, measles, chickenpox, tuberculosis, SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and COVID-19.
Negative pressure rooms use a high quality HEPA air purifier to create lower air pressure inside a room. Harmful particles remain trapped, unable to escape. Negative pressure isolate people with infectious diseases and protect others outside the room from exposure.
Positive pressure rooms use higher pressure inside the room to help push air out and prevent it from circulating back in. Airborne germs and particulates are filtered out and air remains purified inside the room. Positive pressure rooms protect patients vulnerable to infectious disease such as those with compromised immune systems.
