Study Notes
Airborne Precautions
- Designed to reduce nosocomial transmission of particles 0.001mm or less in size
- These particles can remain in the air for several hours
- Particles can be widely dispersed, emphasizing the need for special precautions
- Special air handling and ventilation are required to prevent airborne transmission
