Abstract

Due to the increase of respiratory infectious diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and COVID-19, the importance of facilities such as negative pressure isolation wards are increasing. However, the number of negative pressure isolation rooms and wards are in short supply worldwide. Therefore, this paper would like to use the modular method as a method of quickly installing negative pressure isolation facilities in large quantities in the event of a rapid spreading diseases. If the modular method is used for negative pressure isolation facilities, it is believed that the hospital room can be quickly installed and expanded in case of emergency disasters such as infectious diseases. In most of the previous studies, studies were conducted based on the general ward. In addition, research on negative pressure isolation wards is limited, and guidelines related to wards that can be quickly deployed in the event of an emergency disaster are still unclear. Therefore, this study aims to identify the limitations of existing previous studies and propose guidelines to effectively respond to the epidemic of infectious diseases by using modular methods that can quickly install negative pressure isolation facilities in the event of an infectious disease. The purpose of this study is to propose a plan for a modular negative pressure isolation wards that can minimize the spread of infection by proposing a optimal layout and circulation.
