Airborne infectious disease: best practices for ventilation management: the latest guidance and...

Control measures for airborne infectious diseases are invaluable in health-care facilities that treat patients with these afflictions. These hospitals may also need to treat immunocompromised patients, such as solid organ transplant recipients, or those being treated for blood cancers. Verification of these special ventilation conditions requires a thorough understanding of the design and maintenance of the requisite specifications in order to provide the appropriate ventilation parameters for protective environment patient rooms (See Table 1).
