Abstract :
Tuberculosis or frequently known as TB is a
lung disease caused by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
bacteria colonies, this disease is transmitted through the
air when a tuberculosis sufferer sneezes, coughs, spits,
or even talks, where the air containing the bacteria is
inhaled by another person
Today Tuberculosis is categorized as a deadly
disease for centuries, because tuberculosis has claimed
around 1.4 million lives, and because TB has a rapid
spread, causes deadly disease, and requires a long time
of treatment if someone is exposed to tuberculosis.
Therefore TB control is a long-term health problem for
humans. During the last 20 years, Indonesia has been
ranked number 2 with the most TB sufferers in the
world after the Philippines with a prevalence of 756 out
of 100,000 people suffering from TB, where the most TB
sufferers are in the regions of Sumatra and Java Island,
with TB sufferers in Sidoarjo district reaching 2521
people in 2020
Ventilation is one of the things that plays an
important role in preventing the transmission of
tuberculosis infection in the hospital environment this
was also proven in a study conducted by Cronin et al,
and Albrer to Franchi that there was transmission of
tuberculosis in areas or rooms who have little
ventilatiobal though contact with patients has been kept
to a minimum accompanied by other preventive
measures
At RSUD Sidoarjo, tuberculosis patients are
treated in the white rose pavilion which is located far
from other wards. The pavilion has 6 x 6 inpatient
rooms with 3 beds in each treatment room. The
inpatient room has adequate air ventilation, because
there are several air vents, allowing air exchange in the
treatment room, and patients in the treatment room can
still get UV light without having to leave the treatment
room. In addition, there is a HEPA filter on the
ventilator fan and exhaust fan which can prevent the
spread of tuberculosis bacteria from the treatment
room.
