摘要

在医疗机构中减少空气传播病原体的措施，如增加空气交换、空气净化和减少高峰占用率等，可能既昂贵又具有破坏性，尤其是在没有针对性的情况下。我们报告了利用基于二氧化碳的空气交换评估对一家三级医院的高传播风险区进行的实证识别。这种快速、经济、无干扰的方法可对高传播风险区进行有针对性的补救。

Atmospheric CO₂ monitoring to identify zones of increased airborne pathogen transmission risk in hospital settings.

Measures to reduce airborne pathogen transmission in health care settings, such as increased air exchange, air decontamination, and reductions in peak occupancy, can be expensive and disruptive, particularly when employed in an untargeted manner. We report the empirical identification of high transmission risk zones in a tertiary hospital, using carbon dioxide-based assessments of air exchange. This rapid, cost-effective, and unobtrusive approach led to the targeted remediation of a high transmission risk zone.
