Carrying out room pressure testing allowed us to measure and adjust the airflow to maintain safe overpressure levels in patient rooms and operating theaters. This process ensures that contaminated air cannot infiltrate critical zones, reducing infection risks. The testing also highlighted areas where seals and ventilation needed improvement, which we addressed before the hospital reopened. This proactive approach created a safer environment for both patients and staff, demonstrating the importance of meticulous pressure management in healthcare settings.
