The spread of respiratory infectious diseases in close proximity environments due to poor
indoor air quality not only adds to the unease that exists globally, but it also presents a …

This study thoroughly investigated, using validated computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
techniques, the influences of ventilation on the fate of particles generated by patient and …

Experimental and numerical investigations were performed in a research operating room to
compare laminar air flow and turbulent mixing ventilation systems in reducing the …

Surgical site infections (SSIs) will result in longer patient stays and increased hospital costs.
Airborne microbe-carrying particles are one of the main causes of SSIs, which mainly …

The operating room (OR) ventilation system is a primary method for reducing particle
exposure in the OR. However, most ventilation studies in operating rooms were conducted …

Surgical site infections (SSIs) have gained increasing prominence in recent decades.
Bioaerosols are an important factor causing such intraoperative infections. Their distribution …

The air exchange rate (AER), defined as the number of times the air is fully replaced per
hour in an indoor space, is an important parameter affecting indoor air quality (IAQ). Hospital …

Abstract To develop an Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) monitoring and detecting system based on a
new Internet of Thing (IoT) sensory technology device that incorporated nine recommended …

Most studies on the transmission of infectious airborne disease have focused on patient
room air changes per hour (ACH) and how ACH provides pathogen dilution and removal …

During hospital bronchoscopy examinations, aerosols emitted from the patient's during
coughing can be found suspended in the ambient air. The aerosols can contain pathogenic …
