negative pressure rooms
Negative pressure rooms are specially designed spaces that help contain airborne pathogens, preventing them from spreading to other areas. These rooms maintain a lower air pressure than the surrounding environment, ensuring that air flows inward rather than outward. This is particularly important in healthcare settings, such as hospitals, where patients with infectious diseases, like tuberculosis or COVID-19, may be treated.
The air in negative pressure rooms is filtered before being released outside, which helps protect both staff and other patients. These rooms are equipped with advanced ventilation systems that continuously monitor and adjust air pressure, ensuring safety and compliance with health regulations.
