Description
Ventilation management in health care is intended to provide patient comfort and manage hazards. Standards for ventilation are often designed but not validated for infection control systems. Ventilation placement for infectious disease management requires criteria for ceiling implement placement, room tightness, filtration, and air exchanges. These systems must also accommodate a surge in endemic and pandemic infectious diseases. This session will enable you to
Discuss the current clusters of infection and how the lack of infection control leads to patient disease.
Identify pertinent ASHRAE standards and explain their apply to infection control.
Discuss the current clusters of infection and how the lack of infection control leads to patient disease.
Identify pertinent ASHRAE standards and explain their apply to infection control.
LEARNER OUTCOMES:
- Learn about Specialty HVAC Methods designed to maintain top level infection control through reliable pressurization and proper filtration while 1.Incorporating control sequences to allow for surge capacity 2.Providing flexibility for future construction/Renovation 3. Maximizing energy conservation and 4. Adhering to or exceeding current ASHRAE standards
- Learn how to validate EOC infection control systems and be able to understand the principals of source management for infected patients and environmental sources.
- Review pertinent ASHRAE standards and understand how/why they apply to infection control
- To understand current clusters of infection and how the lack of control leads to patient disease.
