Abstract

Objective: 1) To systematically review the literature on the methods for airborne virus detection in health care facilities based on empirical evidences from the past to the present, and 2) to create a prototype for airborne virus detection for health facilities. Methods: The study searched worldwide databases on patents and petty patents, and searched related studies from databases, including PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Control Trials (CENTRAL), Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, CINALH, Open Gray, DART-Europe ThaiLIS, ThaiJO and Thai Index Medicus. Outcome of interest was methods for airborne virus detection. Results: Information from literature review had been synthesized into essential issues for creating a prototype method for airborne virus detection for health facilities. The prototype consisted of 5 steps: 1) preparation of airborne virus sample, 2) preparation of virus suspension, 3) virus particle staining with fluorescence dye, 4) removal of fluorescence dye, and 5) examination under laser light for tracing the fluorescence of viral particles. Conclusion: This study provides a prototype method for detecting airborne viruses for health facilities. The prototype requires further testing in laboratory and actual health facilities.
