In order to prevent and control NIs, it is vital for hospitals to take necessary procedures to isolate sources of infections and transmissions to ensure the quality of medical care and protection of vulnerable patients and medical personnel. We recently designed an air isolation and purification (AIP) desk integrated air isolation and air filtration/purification functions for the purpose of reducing hospital NIs. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model which usually used to assess the effectiveness of hospital ultraviolet germicidal irradiation devices and ventilation systems for the purpose of infection control [20] [21] [22] was adopted in the AIP desk. The air purification efficacy of the AIP desk in a contaminated room was assessed using cigarette smoke to simulate particulate pollution. Thus, the wind-curtain formed by AIP desk can effectively block smoke particulates and the aerosol pathogen from the patient's area to the doctor's area.	./cache/cord-257875-6lgn6u38.txt	./txt/cord-257875-6lgn6u38.txt
