Would like some guideance on the requirements for anterooms attached to negative pressure isolation rooms. We are renovating our Critical Care Department and modifying an existing single room into a negative pressure room. The anteroom is not big enough or designed for a bed but rather existing doors straight to the main clinical area will be used for patient movement on a bed if necessary. I can’t find any direct reference to the need for the anteroom to be big enough for the bed but as this is how our existing room is configured I need clarification.
Thanks in advance[cid:image003.jpg@01D2E9BF.C675F410]

Gday Cathy
If its a Class N isolation room, then there is no issue as you can keep both doors open. If its a quarantine isolation room, then you need the doors to be interlocked.
Its covered in the Australian Standard HB260.
