SEOUL: (HRNW) South Korean researchers say they have designed an inflatable “negative pressure” ward for isolating and treating patients with infectious diseases like COVID-19, after the pandemic exposed shortages of such beds around the world.
The rooms use a ventilation system that creates negative pressure to allow air to flow into the isolation room and be channelled out safely, helping prevent the spread of airborne pathogens.
They have become a vital tool for fighting the coronavirus pandemic, but many countries have struggled to create them quickly enough.
