Airborne transmission represents one of the most rapidly spreading and dangerous dissemination mechanisms for pathogens. Public health strategies to prevent and control the often explosive outbreaks associated with such pathogens are: 1) vaccination and treatment, if available, 2) isolation and barrier precautions such as face masks, and 3) decontamination of the exposed areas and surfaces. A lack of understanding how these pathogens are transmitted hampers the ability to develop effective prevention measures. This study will be used to collect preliminary data of the emission patterns of respiratory pathogens.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | particle size distribution patterns: ICU | This outcome measure will determine the particle size distribution patterns of the pathogen in the intensive care unit (ICU). | throughout study completion, up to 7 days | |
Primary | particle size distribution patterns: non-ICU setting | This outcome measure will determine the particle size distribution patterns of the pathogen in the non-intensive care unit (ICU). | throughout study completion, up to 7 days | |
Primary | quantities of the pathogen: ICU | This outcome measure will determine the quantities of the pathogen in the intensive care unit (ICU). | throughout study completion, up to 7 days | |
Primary | quantities of the pathogen: non-ICU setting | This outcome measure will determine the quantities of the pathogen in the non-intensive care unit (ICU). | throughout study completion, up to 7 days | |
Primary | spatial model: ICU | This outcome measure will establish a spatial model (1 foot vs. 3- feet vs. 8-10 feet) of airborne pathogen dispersal in the ICU. | throughout study completion, up to 7 days | |
Primary | spatial model: non-ICU setting | This outcome measure will establish a spatial model (1 foot vs. 3- feet vs. 8-10 feet) of airborne pathogen dispersal in a non-ICU setting. | throughout study completion, up to 7 days | |
Primary | correlation between the human aerosolization patterns and the severity of illness | This outcome measure is to determine the correlation between the human aerosolization patterns and the severity of illness (fever, respiratory symptoms, malaise) in individual participants. | throughout study completion, up to 7 days |
