Abstract

In this review of engineering controls that can be used to check the spread of tuberculosis in health care settings, the authors address types of ventilation and supplements to ventilation such as HEPA filtration and ultraviolet germicidal irradiation. They also specifically cover engineering controls for use during medical procedures that pose an increased risk for transmission of TB.
