Abstract

Interview, observational, and discussion group data at 9 health care organizations (HCOs) were collected to better understand elastomeric half-facepiece respirators' (EHFRs) use. We found that HCOs do not routinely use EHFRs as a respiratory protection device (RPD) for health care workers; compliance with other respirator types was less than expected. This finding has important training implications for proper use of all RPDs and EHFRs as an alternative RPD stockpiled for use during a respiratory infectious outbreak.

摘要

我们在 9 家医疗机构（HCO）收集了访谈、观察和讨论小组的数据，以更好地了解弹性半面罩呼吸器（EHFR）的使用情况。我们发现，HCO 通常不将 EHFR 用作医护人员的呼吸保护设备（RPD）；其他类型的呼吸器的合规性低于预期。这一发现对所有 RPD 和 EHFR 的正确使用以及在呼吸道传染病爆发期间作为替代 RPD 储备的使用具有重要的培训意义。
