Abstract:
Guidelines for heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems have been developed for different settings. However, there is a lack of up-to-date evidence providing concrete recommendations for the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems of an isolation room, which is essential to appropriately guide infection control policies. To highlight the guidelines for heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems in isolation rooms to inform relevant stakeholders and policymakers. A systematic search was performed based on Joanna Briggs Methodology using five databases (CINAHL, Embase, Joanna Briggs Institute, Medline, and Web of Science) and websites. Eight articles published by government departments were included in this review. Most studies recommended controlled airflow without recirculation, 12 air changes per hour, high-efficiency particulate air filtrate to exhaust contaminated air from the airborne isolation room, humidity ≤60%, and temperature in the range of 18-30 °C. This review provides further evidence that there is a need for interdisciplinary collaborative research to quantify the optimum range for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system parameters, considering door types, anterooms, and bed management, to effectively reduce the transmission of infection in isolation rooms.
摘要:
背景:加热指南,通风,和空调系统已经开发了不同的设置。然而,缺乏为供暖提供具体建议的最新证据,通风,和隔离室的空调系统,这对于适当指导感染控制政策至关重要。这项范围审查旨在强调供暖指南,通风,和隔离室的空调系统,以告知相关利益相关者和政策制定者。
方法:基于JoannaBriggs方法,使用五个数据库(CINAHL,EMBASE,乔安娜·布里格斯研究所,Medline,和WebofScience)和网站。本评论包括政府部门发表的八篇文章。
结果:大多数研究建议无再循环的受控气流,每小时换气12次,高效微粒空气滤液排出空气隔离室内的污染空气,湿度≤60%,温度范围为18-30℃。
结论:这篇综述强调了加热,通风,和空调系统指南各国的一致性。这提供了进一步的证据,表明需要跨学科合作研究来量化加热的最佳范围,通风,和空调系统参数,考虑到门的类型,前厅,和床位管理,有效减少隔离室感染的传播。
