A negative-pressure plastic isolator is effective for dealing with patients suffering from dangerous infections. So far it has been used to treat seven patients suspected of having infections due to Lassa, Marburg, or Ebola viruses. One patient spent 32 days in the isolator. The isolator was proved comfortable and acceptable to patients, and it gives the nursing and medical attendants a high degree of protection. All routine nursing and medical procedures can be carried out with minimal interference by the physical barrier, though it is not practicable to undertake artificial respiration or haemodialysis.
负压塑料隔离器对于治疗患有危险感染的患者有效。到目前为止,它已被用于治疗7名疑似感染拉沙热、马尔堡或埃博拉病毒的患者。一名患者在隔离器中度过了32天。事实证明,该隔离器让患者感到舒适且可接受,同时为护理人员和医护人员提供了高度保护。所有常规护理和医疗程序都能在物理屏障的最小干扰下进行,不过进行人工呼吸或血液透析并不可行。
