Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

1.5K
Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings II: Doffing

1.2K
The sequence of removing or doffing PPE starts with the gloves, as they are the most contaminated. Next is removal of the face shield or goggles, as they would interfere with removing other PPE. Then remove the gown, followed by the mask or respirator. Perform hand hygiene between steps if hands become contaminated and immediately after removing all PPE. Generally, the outside front and sleeves of the isolation gown, the goggles or the mask, the respirator, and the face shield are contaminated.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Infection Control
  • Fluid Dynamics

Background:

  • Healthcare providers face high infection risks during aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs).
  • Effective aerosol containment systems are crucial for mitigating infection transmission in clinical settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a negative pressure chamber with an innovative aerodynamic cap for enhanced aerosol containment.
  • To assess the containment performance using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and physical testing.

Main Methods:

  • Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations evaluated various structural improvements.
  • An aerodynamic cap was selected based on superior predicted performance, feasibility, and cost-effectiveness.
  • Physical tests used polyalphaolefin (PAO) particles and biological aerosols (Bacillus subtilis) to validate containment.

Main Results:

  • CFD analysis predicted superior containment with the aerodynamic cap structure.
  • Physical tests showed stabilized airflow and reduced aerosol leakage (<0.3%), especially during simulated coughing.
  • Biological aerosol tests demonstrated a millionfold (10^-6) reduction in bacterial leakage compared to controls.

Conclusions:

  • The aerodynamic cap structure is a highly effective and practical solution for aerosol containment.
  • Advanced CFD modeling accurately predicts aerosol dispersion and aids in designing containment strategies.
  • This technology offers a promising, clinically viable infection control measure for AGPs.
