What are the Key Features of a Negative Pressure Room?
Several features distinguish a negative pressure room from a standard hospital room. These include:
- Sealed Doors and Windows: To maintain the negative pressure, the room must be well-sealed. - HEPA Filters: High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters are used to remove contaminants from the air. - Continuous Monitoring: Pressure sensors and alarms ensure that the negative pressure is maintained at all times. - Anteroom: A small entry room that helps control airflow when people enter or exit the negative pressure room.
