Airborne infectious isolation rooms are in almost every area of the hospital. Research and design guidance tells us the "theoretical" requirements for design, construction and operation of these rooms. However, existing conditions, room locations and other factors have led to isolation rooms that have not been able to meet the theoretical desired design or were able to maintain pressure differential without modifying the HVAC system after construction. This seminar presents on-the-job practical issues impacting the research, design and construction of isolation rooms to maintain the containment effectiveness.
