In healthcare facilities, several isolation systems are commonly used to prevent the spread of infections. These include Standard Precautions, which apply to all patients regardless of diagnosis, as well as Transmission-Based Precautions, which are used for patients known or suspected to be infected with specific pathogens. Common types of Transmission-Based Precautions include Contact Isolation, Droplet Isolation, and Airborne Isolation, each designed to mitigate different modes of pathogen transmission. Additionally, facilities may employ negative pressure rooms and personal protective equipment (PPE) to enhance safety during patient care.
