Ventilation Performance Evaluation of a Negative-Pressurized Isolation Room for Emergency Departments

Fujen Wang et al.

Summary: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, hospitals need to be prepared and flexible in responding to the situation. Emergency department staff, as frontline healthcare workers, are at high risk of exposure to airborne infectious agents. Isolating infected patients in the emergency department can protect healthcare workers and control the outbreak. However, there is limited knowledge about the specific facilities required for isolation rooms in the emergency department. This study conducted field measurements and used CFD simulation to investigate airflow and airborne contaminant distribution in an ED isolation room in Taiwan. The study proposed using exhaust air grilles to improve contaminant removal rather than relying solely on high air-change rates for dilution. The results showed that placing the exhaust air grille behind the patient's head optimized the dilution of airborne contaminants.

Control of exhaled SARS-CoV-2-laden aerosols in the interpersonal breathing microenvironment in a ventilated room with limited space air stability

Xiaorui Deng et al.

Summary: This study investigated methods to control the spread of SARS-CoV-2-laden aerosols between individuals in ventilated rooms with different limited space air stability conditions. Results showed that the effectiveness of ventilation systems in removing infectious airborne particles depends on the air stability conditions, and appropriate ventilation methods should be implemented accordingly. This research provides valuable insights for coping with COVID-19 in confined spaces.

Exhaled CO2 as a COVID-19 Infection Risk Proxy for Different Indoor Environments and Activities

Zhe Peng et al.

Summary: This study explores the use of CO2 as a proxy for SARS-CoV-2 concentrations indoors, deriving analytical expressions for CO2-based risk proxies and emphasizing the importance of keeping CO2 levels low to optimize ventilation protection. The research shows that the level of CO2 corresponding to a given absolute infection risk varies significantly across different environments and activities, providing more specific and practical recommendations for low-cost CO2-based indoor infection risk monitoring despite uncertainties in infection risk estimates.
