Development Of an Affordable Negative-Pressure Full-Body Isolation Pod for Covid-19 Patient Transportation

Healthcare workers (HCWs) are known to be at a high risk of being exposed the SARS-CoV-2, or COVID-19 virus because they required interact with their patients distance less than two meters, for more ten minutes time. Due limited resources, most HCWs inadequately protected. This study describes development and performance an affordable full-body isolation pod (isopod). The isopod structure consists composite side panels aluminum poles strips. A clear tarpaulin sheet is used seal its structure. Two identical high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters filter that goes through while pressure inside it maintained within range described by Airborne Infection Isolation (AII) room United Stated America Centers Disease Control Prevention (CDC). could solution hospitals in developing countries enhance protection among from deadly since attainable satisfies CDC requirements.
