What Are the Key Features of a Negative Pressure Room?
Several critical features make a negative pressure room effective: - Airflow Control: Continuous monitoring and adjustment of air pressure to maintain a negative differential. - Anteroom: A small, intermediate room that acts as a buffer zone to further prevent contaminant escape. - Alarm Systems: Alerts that notify staff if the pressure balance is compromised. - High-efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) Filters: Essential for filtering out pathogens from the expelled air.
