This video is on the ventilated headboard, developed by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). The video provides a brief background behind the application, development and testing of the ventilated headboard, a worker-protective engineering control designed to capture potentially infectious patient-generated aerosol at the source, while simultaneously cleaning the room of unwanted aerosols. The Ventilated Headboard is a cost-effective alternative to provide surge isolation capacity within healthcare facilities and alternative care locations such as field hospitals, emergency medical shelters, or repurposed existing structures.
