Consequently if there is any leak from the positively pressured system it will egress into the surrounding environment. Use is also made of positive pressure to ensure there is no ingress of the environment into a supposed closed system. A typical example of the use of positive pressure is the location of a habitat in an area where there may exist flammable gasses such as found on an oil platform . This kind of positive pressure also used on Operation theaters and IVF labs. To maintain positive pressure the room should be well sealed without any loop holes Hospitals may have positive pressure rooms for patients with compromised immune system s.
