病原体的气溶胶传播可导致疾病的迅速传播。引入基于高效微粒空气过滤、光化学氧化和杀菌紫外线的移动空气再循环系统，在急诊科的常规护理下，细菌负荷显著降低了40%以上。这项新技术的应用有望减少气溶胶病原体负担，从而降低暴露风险，并为患者护理提供更安全的环境。(C) 2018年中国感染控制与流行病学专业人员协会Elsevier Inc.出版。版权所有。
Aerosol transmission of pathogens can result in the rapid spread of disease. Introduction of a mobile air recirculation system based on high-efficiency particulate air filtration, photochemical oxidation, and germicidal ultraviolet light significantly decreased the bacterial load by over 40% under routine care in an emergency department. Application of this new technology promises to reduce the aerosol pathogen burden, thereby decreasing exposure risk and providing a safer environment for patient care.
