Particle control reduces fine and ultrafine particles greater than HEPA filtration in live operating rooms and kills biologic warfare surrogate

Author(s): Ereth, M. H., Hess, D. H., Driscoll, A., Hernandez, M., Stamatatos, F.
Modern buildings tend to feature more insulation and tighter building envelopes, which can increase concentrations of indoor pathogens, particles, and pollutants. This can lead to higher rates of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), making the control of indoor air quality critically important.

Safe and supportive neurorehabilitation environments: Results of a structured observation of physical features across two rehabilitation facilities

Author(s): Colley, J., Zeeman, H.
Neurorehabilitation inpatient facilities need to carefully manage occupational safety and risk management while also encouraging positive patient experiences. More information is needed on how inpatient neurorehabilitation facilities can most effectively support people recovering from spinal cord or acquired brain injuries, i.e., how they can be both safe and supportive for patients.

ICU nurses' experiences of environmental elements and their meaning for patient care at an ICU: A qualitative content analysis

Author(s): Petersson, E., Wångdahl, L., Olausson, S.
Previous research on the intensive care unit (ICU) environment has focused primarily on outcomes for patients (e.g., infection prevention, delirium, and satisfaction). There is very little research examining the impact of the ICU environment on staff.
