主 题:computational fluid dynamics(CFD) isolation bed particles speed nosocomial infections pediatrics
摘 要:Airborne transmission is an important mechanism of spread for both viruses and bacteria in hospitals,with nosocomial infections putting a great burden on public *** this study,we designed and manufactured a bed for pediatric clinic consultation rooms providing air isolation to protect patients and medical personnel from pathogen *** pediatric isolation bed has several primary efficiency filters and a high-efficiency particulate air filter in the bedside *** air circulation between inlet and outlet forms negative pressure to remove the patient s exhaled air timeously and effectively.A computational fluid dynamics model was used to calculate the speed of the airflow and the angle of *** this,we conducted purification experiments using cigarette smoke,Staphylococcus albus(***)and human adenovirus type 5(HAdV-5)to demonstrate the isolation *** results showed that the patient s head should be placed as close to the air inlet hood as possible,and an air intake wind speed of 0.86 m/s was *** isolation efficacy of the pediatric isolation bed was demonstrated by computational fluid dynamics *** isolation efficiency against cigarette smoke exceeded 91.8%,and against *** was greater than 99.8%,while the isolation efficiency against HAdV-5 was 100%.The pediatric isolation bed could be used where isolation wards are unavailable,such as in intensive care units and primary clinical settings,to control hospital acquired infections.
