Minimising exposure to droplet and aerosolised pathogens: a computational fluid dynamics study

2020-06-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Hazardous pathogens are spread in either droplets or aerosols produced during aerosol generating procedures (AGP). Adjuncts minimising exposure of healthcare workers to hazardous pathogens released during AGP may be beneficial. We used state-of-the-art Computational Fluid Dynamics modelling to optimise the performance of a custom-designed shield. <h4>Methods</h4> We modelled airflow patterns an...
