Proporcionar condiciones térmicas y sistemas de ventilación adecuados que eviten la dispersión de patógenos es fundamental para proteger la salud de los pacientes, de los profesionales médicos y de enfermería, y del resto del personal, así como para el funcionamiento general de los equipos sensibles. Esta segunda versión presenta recomendaciones generales para evitar la transmisión del SARS-CoV-2 a través de sistemas de calefacción, ventilación y aire acondicionado en establecimientos de salud.

Abstract Clean, fresh air is the most important requirement for good indoor air quality (IAQ) in all buildings, but it is especially important with regard to the environments within hospitals and other healthcare facilities. The literature indicates that buildings with heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems may have an increased risk of sick building syndrome (SBS) and building-related illness (BRI) if they are not well maintained. Microorganisms are brought into hospitals by people, air currents, water, construction materials and equipment. The main objective of this study was to assess the degree of fungal and bacterial contamination in the University Clinical Centre in Banja Luka, which is directly connected to the HVAC system. Airborne bacteria and fungi in the indoor hospital environment were assessed experimentally. Air samples were collected during the winter season. This paper presents the results related to the concentration of microorganisms expressed in colony forming units per cubic metre of air sampled (in CFU/m3) together with the microclimatic parameters temperature and relative humidity. The results of monitoring indicate the effectiveness of HVAC systems in reducing microbiological contamination.
