VENTILATION & COVID IN HEALTHCARE AND THE NHS
In a hospital setting, it is crucial to have the best air purification service possible to fight COVID-19. The HVAC system in hospitals acts as a powerful filter for bacteria and viruses, which increases the recovery percentage of patients with infection.
It is crucial to discover ways to increase the survival and recovery rates of Coronavirus-related patients. This will help relieve the pressure on the NHS and healthcare industry due to the ever increasing number of admissions to hospital. HVAC systems can be a lifeline for patients and their families by improving the environment in hospitals.
Why is Covid-19 so hazardous?
COVID-19, the virus that has claimed so many lives, is a virus with a higher transmission rate than other viruses as it is airborne, and spread via contact and/or droplets. This virus attacks the respiratory system and can cause serious illness in certain individuals, who may need hospitalisation.
Because the airborne droplets are so small, they can remain in the atmosphere for a long time. They can also spread further than other airborne viruses. It's been shown that people who live in crowded areas are more at risk. Also, less ventilation can increase the chance of infection and exposure. Research shows that people who were subject to social distancing and had antiviral air filter systems installed have reported significantly lower rates of severe illness or infection. Additionally, time plays an important role. Despite social distancing, prolonged exposure to the coronavirus has resulted in more infections.
HVAC systems for medical use
HVAC: Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning. It is used to describe systems that regulate temperature, air quality and humidity. They are essential for any occupied space. However, they are especially important in hospitals because they act as a filter to prevent infection.
It is crucial to have the best air purifier system for fighting COVID-19. The primary step to finding the best HVAC system for you is to assess the environment in different rooms in the hospital (operating theaters, intensive care, etc).
Certain rooms may need HEPA filters (high efficiency particulate absorption filter), which are chosen based on the required level of filtration.
It is important to control humidity as this will help reduce the time it takes for the virus to survive in any environment.
HVAC system cleaning and maintenance
This is something we cannot empasise enough: HVAC systems can have a longer operational life and a lower life cycle cost if they are maintained. Regular maintenance will ensure that everything works properly and is in line with HTM03.
We are happy that we are helping healthcare providers with our HVAC services, which are available 24/7/365.
