Beyond Ventilation: The Non-linear Impact of Per Capita Spatial Volume on Nosocomial Respiratory Virus Transmission in Hospital Wards — A Real-World Natural Experiment

2026-06-26

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Mechanical ventilation is the primary engineering control for nosocomial respiratory transmission, yet may be insufficient when per capita spatial volume is inadequate. Theoretical models predict that infectious respiratory particle concentration is inversely proportional to room volume, but no observational study has quantified per capita volume as a continuous epidemiologi...
