Abstract:
Since the COVID-19 outbreak, the nosocomial infection rate worldwide has been reported high. It is urgent to figure out an affordable way to monitor and alarm nosocomial infection. Carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration can reflect the ventilation performance and crowdedness, so CO2 sensors were placed where the nosocomial infection risk was high. Sufficient ventilation, personal protection, and disinfection measures led to no nosocomial infection in this hospital. The CO2 concentration monitoring system proved to be effective in assessing nosocomial infection risk by reflecting real-time dilution of patients’ exhalation.
