Natural ventilation for Infection Control / Ventilación natural para el control de infecciones
Durante los dos últimos años, un equipo multidisciplinario de ingenieros, arquitectos, especialistas en el control de las infecciones y microbiólogos ha trabajado en la elaboración estas guías para proporcionar pautas de diseño y funcionamiento a los planificadores, ingenieros y arquitectos de hospitales y al personal encargado del control de las infecciones nosocomiales. Las recomendaciones de esta guía de la OMS se basan en una revisión sistemática de la bibliografía consagrada a la relación entre la ventilación y la transmisión de enfermedades, así como a las soluciones de ventilación natural eficaces en el control de las infecciones. Esta guía de la OMS debe usarse junto con otras recomendaciones de interés en el control de las infecciones.
This guideline is primarily developed for engineers and architects who design or operate health-care facilities. The guideline is also useful for health-care workers, particularly infection-control professionals who work in health-care facilities. The guideline recognizes that the hospital designers, operators and health-care workers need to work together for effective infection control. This guideline applies to diseases that can be transmitted through fine droplets or through droplet nuclei. The guideline describes how an airborne precaution room and its adjacent areas can be designed to provide natural ventilation control of infections. However, this guideline does not include thorough descriptions for other infection-prevention and control measures.
