Negative pressure room systems help keep medical personnel safe and healthy when treating sick patients who are in isolation. These machines are designed to be used in any medical setting, including hospitals, in-patient living facilities, nursing homes, and even in ambulances. They ensure the utmost safety and health of healthcare workers and also prevent the spread of disease and infection to other patients and guests.
When patients are being treated for illnesses that are spread through the air, it’s paramount to ensure the safety of the air others breathe. With negative pressure room systems, healthcare professionals can keep themselves and other staff healthy and safe without compromising the level of care provided to their sick patients.
Normally, when patients are infected with a high-risk disease (like COVID-19, measles, or tuberculosis), they are confined to an isolation room during their treatment and recovery. These isolation rooms are also called negative pressure rooms because the air pressure inside of them is lower than the air pressure in the space outside. When regular patient room doors are opened, harmful airborne pathogens can infect the air outside the room, leaving medical staff, other patients, and guests at risk. But with a negative pressure room, the contaminated air is sucked out by an exhaust system - directly preventing hazardous antibodies from spreading.
Only 2 to 4 percent of hospital rooms in the USA feature negative pressure room capability. But with RehabMart’s negative pressure room systems, you can bolster your facility’s preparedness before disaster strikes and keep your staff, patients, and visitors as safe and healthy as possible.
