Health care workers (HCW) are exposed to ribavirin aerosol during therapy of infants with respiratory syncytial virus infections. To assess the degree of HCW exposure, we analyzed air samples from patient rooms and HCW personal breathing zones during ribavirin aerosol delivery by ventilator (two samples), oxygen hood (two samples), and a new vacuum exhaust hood (four samples). HCW exposure to ribavirin during aerosol delivery by ventilator or vacuum exhaust hood system was substantially lower than HCW exposure during aerosol delivery by oxygen hood in rooms with adequate ventilation.
医护人员在治疗呼吸道合胞病毒感染的婴儿时会接触到利巴韦林气雾剂。为评估医护人员的接触程度,我们分析了在使用呼吸机(两个样本)、氧气头罩(两个样本)和新型真空排气头罩(四个样本)进行利巴韦林气雾剂给药期间,病房和医护人员个人呼吸区域的空气样本。在通风良好的房间里,通过呼吸机或真空排气头罩系统进行气雾剂给药时医护人员接触利巴韦林的程度明显低于通过氧气头罩给药时医护人员的接触程度。
