Tiivistelmä
The terrible statistics about hospital-acquired infections point out the necessity of improving the infection control in health care facilities. This implies that it is necessary to search for new methods and techniques of design.
The aim of this paper is to describe all known measures of the infection control and to consider a new approach in its optimizing – the use CFD modeling.
The CFD modeling possibilities are demonstrated by an analysis of one factor impact on the infection risk. The analyzed factor is the use of local exhaust unit in the airborne infectious isolation room. The report includes the detailed description of all steps of the simulation: collection of the initial data, the modeling process, setting the solver and analysis of the results.
The results of the simulation allow estimating the impact of the analyzed factor and giving certain recommendations for the design of airborne infectious isolation rooms.
