To prevent respiratory infections between patients and medical workers, the transmission risk of airborne pollutants in hospital wards must be mitigated. The ventilation modes, which are regarded as an important strategy to minimize the infection risk, is challenging to systematically design. Studies have considered the effect of ventilation openings (inl ...
