OVERVIEW
Special medical screening tents are becoming familiar sites in close proximity to hospitals all across the US. As a pandemic occurs, medical centers require a higher capacity for testing while minimizing the risk of infection. The usage of tents is a potent alternative method for screening patients outside; thus guaranteeing the safety of the hospital.
U.S. hospitals are implementing special wards and tents to separate patients and limit the spread of the virus.
Often, these screening shelter tents will be located near or right in front of the emergency rooms; thus allowing for fast reaction times should a critically-ill patient arrive. Every tent should have vital equipment such as gurneys, masks, costumes, X-rays, electrocardiogram machines, computers, a stable wifi connection, and other necessary equipment. Depending on its size, a contamination tent can house from a few up to 25 patients at a time.
Contamination Tents And Infection Prevention
Screening Sheltesr Are Vital Instruments For Any Hospital Or Medical Center During A Virus Outbreak
Screening tents (or more-widely known as contamination shelters) are a potent solution to hospital overcrowding. These tents will provide much-needed extra space while creating a safer environment for patient testing, so the risks of decease spread are kept as low as possible.
Keeping all patients in a general waiting room will only invite the virus to spread. Instead, patients with specific flu-like symptoms will be directed to the screening tents where further examination will be carried out. As a result, exposure to the virus will be greatly reduced. Medical staff will use a lower number of protective equipment as well.
With protective equipment running low across the country, employees have to reuse masks and face shields. Since supplies are at risk of running out, hospitals need to be conservative with their equipment because burning through it will eventually lead to a disaster should the number of patients greatly increase. This is a valid reason why using triage tents could ease the situation – they offer outstanding protection which means hospitals won’t need to use as much protective equipment.

Screening Tents Key Benefits
- The polyethylene cover has military-grade strength
- Expanded hospital capacity
- Separating patients and better social distancing
- Screen, evaluate, and treat patients with influenza-like symptoms without ever entering the hospital

Some of the largest hospitals in the country are using similar triage tents which are fully-equipped with masks, spaced seating, protective suits, scanning equipment, and other vital tools. Setting up a shelter outside a hospital is another instrument in our fight against the deadly virus.
