Does a mobile dust-containment cart reduce the risk of healthcare-associated fungal infections during above-ceiling work?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 October 2020
Abstract
Immunocompromised patients are at risk for infections due to above-ceiling activities in hospitals. Mobile dust-containment carts are available as environmental controls, but no published data support their efficacy. Using microbial air sampling and particle counts, we provide evidence of reduced risk of fungal exposure during open ceiling activities.
