  Infection Control Unit Suppresses Airborne Aerosols during Cardiac Stress Testing in an Outpatient Cardiology Clinic
  Author(s): Daniel Bonn* and G. Aernout Somsen
  
  Introduction: Patients with cardiovascular disease are at increased risk of complications of COVID19. Microdroplet aerosols play an important role in viral (SARS-CoV-2) transmission especially during (cardiac) diagnostic- and therapeutic procedures as medical personnel operates close to the patient. To better protect these vulnerable patients and ensure a safe continuity of these procedures during the COVID19 pandemic, we studied an Infection Control Unit (ICU) which actively clears out potentially dangerous aerosols during cardiac stress testing. Results: We measured the aerosol generation and persistence and CO2 levels during cardiac bicycle stress testing, in an outpatient cardiology clinic. The measurements were performed in a ventilated room, with and without a Novaerus NV800 ICU. Without the infection control unit, levels of aerosol and CO2 concentratio.. View More»
