Isolation Room Talking Points

​
  • Move everyone away from hospitals where the most vulnerable are
    • Testing tents at hospitals bad idea
      • Medical workers reenter hospital
      • Contact in parking lots with others going into hospital
  • Eliminate large quantities of patients and healthcare workers in one location
    • Prevents large infection if something goes wrong
      • Mistake at Javits Convention Center could infect 320 workers
      • Mistake at 40 bed gym hospital could infect 10 to 15 workers
    • Less to manage for healthcare workers so focus can be on patients
  • Gymnasiums are community based
    • Have bathrooms and most showers
    • Large open areas usually with own HVAC system
    • Patients have less distance to travel
    • Healthcare workers have less distance to travel
    • Other community based medical professionals provide support (dentists, hygienists, etc)
    • Community can help provide support to workers if needed
  • Compact space for multiple isolation rooms in small footprint
    • 40 rooms on a gym floor
    • Gym is very open eliminating contamination on surfaces hard to clean like in hotel rooms, dorm rooms, cruise ship, etc.
    • Mounted to plywood or subfloor
    • Construct elevated platform for more height (6x12 frame add 11 ½”)
  • Healthcare workers do not have to enter isolation room
    • Patient wheeled in and out of isolation room as needed
    • Wheeled in head-first placing respiratory area 6’ from access opening
    • Patient can be on cot if capable of sitting up, standing, etc
  • Large flat aluminum surfaces for easy cleaning. 
    • Top is removable so all interior surfaces can be easily disinfected 
    • Test have shown other SARS viruses only lasts 2 to 8 hours on aluminum
  • Insulated walls and roof to maintain humidity or higher temperature inside room
    • Humidifier to help patient with breathing
    • Small space heater to keep temperature slightly higher than gymnasium
    • Humid or warm air will rise and exit through louvres at top of room
    • Outside air enter from bottom space of access door creating negative pressure room
    • Use HEPA filter where air is exiting to clean air going into gymnasium
    • Louvers angled away from patient to eliminate droplets from exiting through louver
    • Insulation mold and mildew resistant
